What is everyone's goal with their Rs?
I was just curious if any of you have set goals for what you want to get out of your Rs.. I.E. what mods you wish to have etc... I know my goal is to have JDM conversion, C-West kit, Zeal B6 and a fully built CR-VTEC Turbo!

Re: What is everyone's goal with their Rs? (1 FAST R)
To get the ******* thing back!!!
my goals, I guess - to have a respectably fast car for mainly track use - a few power mods, maybe suspension, and that's about it. Although in 1/4 mile terms I would like it to run high 13's.
Chris - don't go Frankenstein turbo! If you want that, get a hatch...take the R autoxing or road racing when you get it back, and leave the B18C5 relatively unmolested...the car will thank you for it.

Re: What is everyone's goal with their Rs? (BeanRacer)
Short term:
1. install turbo kit ( run 7psi initially and hopfully run 300HP or more)
2. Stage 2 or 3 clutch
3. new brakes (Brembos??)
long term:
1.more work on the turbo ( boost 12psi closer to 350HP)
2. Vented CF hood and lip
3. re-do exhaust system

Re: What is everyone's goal with their Rs? (1 FAST R)
I don't really have many goals for the R since I want an NSX in the near future. I would like to get a JDM header with heat shield and a test pipe though. With that, I think I could get into the 13s on a good day. That would be about it for this car. It's not my dream car, just a fun intermediate step.

Re: What is everyone's goal with their Rs? (SOMEguyFROMoregon)
I want to have a mid to high 13 sec car, with basic bolt ons and cams, tint, a good speaker system, and then start saving for my next Honda.

Re: What is everyone's goal with their Rs? (nEoMuGen)
i agree with neomugen, after this weekend, i have found out that the car is very good stock, even though i have a header, test pipe, and intake installed... and still waiting on calipers and suspensions...
