I bet when you first started this car you never thought in a million years you would be going this far with it!
Ultimate race spec EVO 2 right here.

definitely not mate, it was going to be a nice little tarmac rally car once upon a time lol, how things change

... or what's left of an EVO 2 lol

Then you did WTAC and this happened......

 

[Evo-00x]

Still has the EVO VIN on it so you can attend EVO OZ days

bwahahahahahaha

[DOUGMO]

lol, of course, bloody ricers with lancer coupes......oh wait, I think I'm out numbered

[evo-gsr]

I don't plan too but maybe a smear down each side just in case, ill probably just put s bit of foam tape on the ribs so it doesn't rub

so how will you secure/ mount it ?

had to laugh at that comment!

[DOUGMO]

rivets mate, the windows front and rear will hold it and maybe 4-5 rivets down each side

George knows the whole EVO-OZ eligibility criteria thing gets my back up!!

[evopwr]

Sweet progress George. I don't know if you mentioned somewhere but what did the FG roof end up coming in at weight wise?

 

LOL Shayne! Like I said in your 'members ride' thread, you should have just purchased a stock Evo7 GTA and put an APEXI intake and D2 coilovers, EVO OZ boys would respect you way more than currently with your coupe! 

[evo-gsr]

They dont call it E g o Oz for nothing. That forum has gone to shit now anyways.

I  just tried typing it in, it changed the "G" to a "V" if you type it in 1 word... I didn't even know that LOL

[evo-gsr]

Thats why I spaced it out to get past that cause I seen it had changed.

ill try and get a weight, id guess that its about half that of the steel with braces, it is a bit heavier than I had hoped though

[evopwr]

^ That was my thoughts too when I read you went FG roof.

 

When I converted my front guards to FG they were lighter, but not a significant saving over OEM sheet metal.

 

I think because the sheetmetal is already minimal, FG would actually add on weight if you're laying up heaps of layers & resin.

 

Best way for weight reduction would be 3 or less layers vacuumed so minimal resin used consumed.

 

On the bright side, your roof will never rust again!

yeah they went a bit heavy on the roof, all of my other glass panels are substantially lighter.

not to worry, a saving is a saving and I have the mould to do a carbon one later if need be

[evopwr]

_YES!!!!!!

[DOUGMO]

the roof is pretty much done for fitment now, once I cut off the metal I don't need the saving was good enough and the plus side is the roof wont flop around as its quite stiff. now just the quarters

 

 

 

 

 

also going to use the "original" glyptal this time, I used the crc version last time but that has a lower heat rating the the good stuff.

 

 

 

 

also barry has been working on improving the ports, still a lot of work to do but there should be some big gains considering the port job I had before wasn't awesome, in saying that having the cut up head helps you know how far you can safely go
