Today, we find ourselves at IMR Engineering, where the team is hard at work on the G16 GR86 AWD project. The car is on the brink of heading to the paint shop, following extensive fabrication work on crucial components like the drivetrain and suspension. With the motor temporarily removed for painting, the focus shifts to rerouting brake lines and ensuring all elements align within stock specifications. A custom cage has been expertly installed to bolster chassis strength, a crucial move for the road racing style the team is aiming for.

Modifications to the rear subframe have been made to accommodate the Corolla differential, showcasing the team's attention to detail and commitment to optimal performance. Steering rack adjustments are in order due to transmission constraints, highlighting the intricate dance of fitting all components seamlessly together. The reuse of certain parts, such as the shifter and drive shaft, speaks to a blend of practicality and performance in this project. Custom intercooler piping demonstrates the team's ingenuity in navigating tight spaces to ensure everything fits like a glove.

As the car prepares for the next phase at Evasive Motorsports, where it will undergo painting and reassembly, the meticulous powder coating of parts stands out as a testament to the team's dedication to both aesthetics and durability. Detailed CAD designs play a crucial role in the assembly process, showcasing a blend of cutting-edge technology and hands-on craftsmanship. The G16 GR86 AWD project is a testament to the passion and expertise of the team at IMR Engineering, promising a thrilling end result that combines performance and style in perfect harmony.
