Well, after a lot of thought I have decided to alter my plans. I realized I cant afford my 500 whp goals so I gotta be happy with a more normal car. I am limiting myself to the a 190 and internal gating. I will stick on the Big 16g until she blows in which case I will get an Evo III 16g. My new plans have cut a lot off the cost of my build, no more built tranny, expensive turbo, AFPR, external gate, big injectors, 4 bolt rear, etc. My new plan is not raging track monster, more moderate street terror
. Heres the new plan:
Sooner
-Stock engine with my FP2's
-Stock flywheel?
-ACT 2100 or Exedy Stage II
-Big 16g until it blows then Evo III 16g
-3" exhaust
-FMIC
-Stuff to keep an eye on the engine (link, guages, etc)
-190
-650cc injectors
-strut bars
Later
-meth/h20 injection
-lowering stuff, either GC's with AGX's or Sportlines with AGX's
-alarm system
-tint
-decently good sounding and boomy sound system
-stiffer sway bars
Last thing
-paint
-interior (seats, 4/5pt harness, etc)
Goals
-300+ whp
-low 12's at the track
-Just fuckin shit up street style
I figure that way I dont have to build the shit out of everything and attaining my goal will be far easier. Also, I added a few things, namely the suspension stuff. I always wanted to lower it, but handling doesnt matter a whole lot to me. Well, oddly enough, I was inspired by Buschur's time attack Evo. He was featured in Modified Mag's March issue. Though hes been known to be a douche and his shit seems WAYYY over priced, I took a lot from that Evo. I realized to be a sweet car, you dont really have to be a fuckin crazy high power car to still be fun. And since I cant always have straight line fun but I can
always have fun, I decided to alter my plans a bit.
I still want it to be a higher HP car, by higher I mean as much as I can squeeze from the Big 16g and Evo III 16g when its gets there. I wil be running meth/water injection later so hopefully I can eventually be running decent numbers on pump.
Since I have gone more towards the "street" car than the track car, I would like some luxuries I was going to cut out. Since the AC system is completely gone and since I dont plan on driving it during the summer, the heat and AC are going. Those are for pussies anyway
. I think cruise control is going to stay, but mostly because I dont want to have to fine a non-CC throttle cable. I still wont use it.
I have decided that I want to put a system in it. Being a street car and all, I would still like to be able to jam out a bit. I am going to put in probably one sub and one amp to drive it and run the speakers off of deck power. I am going to make a quick detach for the sub box and mount the amp to it so that when I need to ditch it for track use, it wont be hard. Also, that shit is going to be obviously locked the fuck down, no one will be havin my shit. Tint will happen sometime before during or shortly thereafter to help stop theivery. Oh, and an alarm, that will happen same time as the system.
Ok, so thats luxury fun and power fun, what else is there? The one I have been neglecting for so long! TWISTY FUN! Thats really what inspired me about Buschur's Evo, I realized I can drop just a couple hundred extra for sway bars and strut braces and have a fairly curve worthy machine. I know DSM's (particularly 1g's) have been known for their crappy handling, but I think with some lower and stiffer suspension, front and rear strut tower braces, and some heavier sway bars, I can make this thing attack corners a bit better. Hell, just suspension did a shit ton for the Cavy and the DSM will be getting better stuff. I know it wont exactly be an autox machine but I know it will hold the road fairly well.
I am excited about this even more now with my suspension ideas. I sort of arranged it into "stages" like in NFSU, that way I can sort of take it a bit at a time with everything. I think I am going to try to tackle the list in summers, Sooner being this summer, Later being next summer, and Last being the summer after that. We'll see how it goes though, obviously if I can get a good deal on something or cant find a deal on something else, I will have to switch around the order. I cant wait! Killing corners, smashing straight aways, and pounding pavement. Anyway, I am done rambling.
