your like right next to my friend Franz @ Diebold autosport I'm sure he can build you something crazy





















I went to the track to try my luck and see if it all holds together this past week, after doing one pass on the q-mile and getting kicked off for no helmet ! I managed to pull a 12.6 out.

I know I know my times suck out the box ! I dont want to snap my axles or leave my Diff on the floor ! so I took off bogging in first and not revving out 2nd or 3rd gear becuase the car likes to lay rubber in the rear tires.

I am on the left Porsche 977 twin turbo on right... high boost button used




so after getting kicked off i went lapping to see how well the car handles ! scary move lol.... my brakes are to small or weak so maybe better pads, and the car feels like it needs some wider tires and bracing to help keep it more stable.
Low Boost On was used for lapping its to scary with high lol

as of now its fun to play with till i fix things out

With the brakes, they look massive for such a small car! I'd be looking into better pads before upgrading brakes. How much does this thing weigh?

ya i just tried new pads much better, i think i need better wider tires to help with stopping power now.. next year we will try harder for sure.

car weight is me and full tank 50L all stock 2700lbs was 2200lbs stock FWD, if I go nuts and gut it 2400lbs

















well the season is done for me and I got out on the track a couple times more for fun to test out my new brake pad's, the pad's helped out a bit more but still need more work.

PFC 01 compound group N pad's work well very well, lots of dust but rather stop then not.


S203 S204 Spec-c Ra R oil cooler adapter factory from subaru oem has come in. built in thermostat opens at 100 C and OEM Made In Japan By STi no other adapter is better !



my spare earls cooler should do the job, got rid of A/C for this set up lol




I put the 86 Subaru Leone away for the season but next year to do lit will be fun.

wider sticky tires + smaller wheels 15"
Race gas tune 500hp DD it
better suspension stiffer springs
STi oil cooler
BRZ koyo rad install
bigger CV axles




i also was going to swap out my STi Spec-c 6mt 3.900 to my S204 STi 6mt 3.545, but its now in my winter beater (99 Nico). i think my winter beater will be more in need of longer gearing next spring when i do the motor swap.

Wow, this has got to be one of the best and most thorough builds i’ve ever read. You have obviously spent a lot of time and money on her, and you’ve done an awesome job.

I have never really taken notice of the Leone here in Australia, but they seem to be remarkably well equipped.

Thank you for sharing your passion.

Sick car man but something about it looks so fragile. Maybe it is the thin pillars or something?

Good luck, maybe get a full cage?
