Re: Stuck on Mods... (WANTED97ITR)
Well, you seem more performance oriented with your car. Honestly, i suggest some suspension work. Instead of the Strut/spring combo, how about a set of coil overs. CF hood would be nice, the R handles fine stock but you got the speed with your built engine, why not work on controlling all that power. stock rims are fine, volks are nice and all but all you really need is a good set of tires.

Why not just drive it with what you have for a few HPDEs and then see what you want to do. I had a lot of plans to do this and that before my first HPDE and after all those plans were reduced to beefing up the brakes, clutch and getting rid of the wheel hop.
So basically I see that the car in stock form is rather well equipped to used on a track.
And all that money for more power and looks went to more track events.
drive, evaluate, budget, mod.

Re: Stuck on Mods... (Willard)
Not trying to flame, but if you are really going to autox it competitively, don't mod it any more first. More mods just put you into higher, harder, and more expensive autox classes. Drive it like it is (or if, anything, un-mod it) before you decide what the next step is...

Re: Stuck on Mods... (WANTED97ITR)
Well honestly the car does have over 200whp, but doesn't spin in 1st from a slow roll.. Currently running Rota slips w/ Azenis.. Thanks for the comments.. I only race autox for fun.. HPDEs is something I am going do soon.. Here is the link to the pictures.. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=899826 ..enjoy.. I am leaning towards some coilovers and new rim/tire combo with some new rotors and nice pads...
