Dazza's Clubman
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2008 9:16 pm
In the beginning I searched high and low for a mint NA6 as I'd happened across a smokin' hot B6.
Unfortunately the engine wasn't all it was supposed to be and would of been extremely expensive to get off the ground.
Then I started looking for the best NA available. Luckily, someone was selling the best NA available, so I bought it.
I bought a white NA Clubman off a fellow forumite. This car had previously been turbocharged, but by the time I got it, it was bone stock. It was also in mint condition. The whole car was immaculate, but only after many many months of restoration by the previous owner.
This is what it looked like the day I picked it up..
The maiden voyage...
Less than 2 weeks later the standard Bilsteins were swapped for a Tanabe spring and shock combination. The coil overs will come early next year (when needed). It may not look it in the pictures, but it's LOW!
Also grabbed a Brown Davis bar too...
The following week, I got some interior goodies, thanks to a mate who does that sort of thing.
So far he's hooked me up some Mazdaspeed seats and a nice Mazdaspeed Steering wheel
2 weeks later and she was off to AVO for some goodies
GT28 Ball bearing Turbo
Link G4 Storm Standalone ECU

Walbro Fuel pump
330 cc GTX injectors
Made 128rwkw at 6psi and felt strong, but this only lasted for 2 weeks.
Did a Motorkhana a few weeks back (2 days after the huffer went on)
While it was good, I wanted great. So It's gone back to AVO to get a few more goodies put on.
These are:
Fuel pressure regulator.
Injectors were only running about 80% duty cycle, so with the regulator it should be able to put more fuel in and run the injectors at about 95%.
Plumbed back Valve (hated sounding like a hektik VL Turbo).
Boost controller with a high low switch in cabin, will switch between 6 and 10psi (also switches maps).
Stealth....
I've ordered a set of wheels from my Mazdaspeed mate, they should be here about Christmas/New Year, but I'm on the hunt for some track rims as well, no hurry.
