not worth modding the a3 unless you boost it, just swap for a k20a2 and sc or even better k240a2 with k20a2 head i believe the frank build is

Boost the a3 with some hella clean internals, the works you know,skunk2,Blox,mugen, or toda,hell do type-s or dc5r. then hit the drivetrain lsd for sure,That should get some low numbers at the track. just an option

Im sure any country with traffic laws make street racing activities as illegal, just because it's in mexico does not mean its "ok" to street race and put lives in danger just because they are not American. You know what I mean man, street racing is street racing

For a boosted car, I'm not that impressed really, no offense.
