Default fsp

I could not find the limitations on fsp. so....
What are the limitations on fsp, i run my ek, with a y7.
as of now i have full exhaust, intake, sturt bars, si rear sway bar, ebay springs, with a 250 rate. for tires i am using dirrezza dr101, 195/50
I only have about 8 autox events done.
What would be some other good add ons to help me out, without jumping out of my class. Theres a scion tc with lsd, in my class, and hes been doing good.

pg 193

FSP car classification:

Civic (non-Si) (1996-2000)

So you can put any engine and/or transmission into any chassis on that line.

The most cost effective order of things to do, IMO:
tires: 225/45-15 Hankook RS3 if you need to run street tires. There are many decent 205/50-15 choices, too. Hoosier A6's, as big as you care to cut your fenders for, if you run R-comps.
rear sway bar: go CTR instead of Si
shocks: adjustable and able to handle the spring rate
wheels: light and wide
more spring : 400-500lb for streetable
LSD: it makes driving FWD more fun

If it's a quality LSD like a Quaife, Kaaz, or Mfactory, yes $300 is cheap. Install may be expensive if you can't do it yourself, though.
I wouldn't bother with an LSD until your grip is improved (suspension, wheels, tires).

ah... I see
Well I'm going to try and find me a y8 inatke manifold first
Followed by some extra rims, and I think I'm going to try the Dunlop star specs.
I had done a mini me swap, but the head that was sold to me had bent valves, I didn't want to mess with it n gave it away.
I might get my y8 tranny fixed as well, I think it might be better than my y7

Why run FSP when you can run STC? Technically costs less to build. Either way that chassis isn't the best for either class..

Ditch the H-Brace, dead weight.

Then stick to what you have now and continue learning.
Chances are you are leaving time on the track still.
Invest in some coaching.
