The EG K20 is going nowhere. Joel is getting faster and faster. I need to move on. Having tracked RWD, FWD, maybe it is time to find out how 4WD goes.

One day, a friend gave me a call and told me about the following trackcar for sale.

Excellent!!! A real SPEC C for track! The EGK20 is sold for good money and with those money, I bought it. However, being absolutly broke now, I have to do it up the TAM (tight ass mutha) way. Do it as up as cheap as possible and only when I can afford it.

The SPEC C comes stock standard. Here are some good things why it can potentially make a good trackcar:

Sexy DCCD

No sound deadener and cool 12L water spray tank

It’s time to strip it. No sound deadener, no wonder road Spec Cs are freaking noisy. Anyway, I save effort. No need to scrap till crazy.

I got these boys to fabricate an exhaust 3” from CAT back. Sounds really sexy right after

Some sexy cars the boys from X Factory are doing

And I got all these parts from my WRX Wagon to go into my trackcar. The Wagon is relegated to fetching Daryl around now.

13 point Carbing Rollcage

Prodrive Coilovers

Cusco Brake Stopper, F/R Strut Brace, AEM Water Injection Kit, Project U 999 Pads, F/R Cusco AntiRoll bars, Braided Hoses. That’s all I can afford now.

And semislicks. Unfortunately, they are more than 3 years old. The story is, always check before buying anything used. Well, obviously I did not

With everything fitted, I hit the track. 2.39s on her first outing, not bad for a stock spec C. This is just the start, watch this space for more.
