amsfoto's FBP FA5 track build

amsfoto · 07-28-2008, 09:51 AM

Been meaning to get one of these threads up for awhile now, mods are slowly trickling in.

So, here is the current mod list:

Engine:
Ingalls ETD "Stiffy"
Ingalls Powerstick
P2R TB Spacer & 2 Gaskets
Fujita Polished SRI

Suspension:
Progress Rear Sway (22mm solid)

Interior:
Nav Spash Screen Hack
Corsport Short Shifter
Corsport Alloy Cable Bushings

Exterior:
Front plate relocate
35% Tint all around (except windshield)

My plans for the car are to make it a competitive track car for events in the area. (Summit Point, VIR)

I am still looking for the perfect suspension setup. I can't seem to find springs that I want. I need something with a very aggressive spring rate but not too much drop. I am thinking about giving HFP suspension a try for the time being.

My first exterior mod will be the HFP front lip, then a set of lightweight wheels and wide Falken RT615 tires.

NEW!!!!! Photos as of 8/5/08:

And some photos as of 7/28/08:

I am currently on vacation, but when I return I am planning on de-badging all of the Si goodies as well as the i-vtec sticker. Still thinking about it...keep going back and forth.

I really like your wheels, the black with the blue lip I am looking into maybe doing something similar. FBP ftw!

wait your gonna track the car but only get springs?

amsfoto · 07-31-2008, 12:40 PM

Not necessarily, there aren't many aftermarket shock options out for our cars yet...finding the perfect spring is step 1. I am either going to go a spring/adjustable shock setup or just go with coilovers.

Bump for new pics. Also...the USDM rear end is really growing on me versus the FD2 rear end. I think I am gonna keep it and just go with the JDM front end.

KameraBoy · 08-06-2008, 12:18 AM

could save trouble of finding shocks and just buy coilovers that have been built for racing and tested on tracks.

There are rules and regulations for competing in certain classes. I know that in SCCA autocross you can't compete in stock classes with aftermarket springs, only shocks and sway bars.
