So im bringing this bitch back to life.....
Pending the apocalypse im picking up this pile on Sunday.
My overall goal is to have this as a track/autoX whore and hopefully get approved to do TT by end of next season. At some point maybe instructing. I think getting into TT by end of next season is really aggressive and doubtful to happen, but its a goal. Mostly dependent on how quickly I pickup on things (obviously), and how many events im able to do, but we shall see.
Plans:
1- Dyno and Weight, car is NASA-X G base, and with the suspension mods I thinks its around +12 if the mods list is accurate, but I need to know my Dyno # and official weight to figure out what base class the engine swap will put me in.
2- Do everything Mikey was too lazy to do when he ownd the car, TBD.
3- Install Driver and Passenger Sparco Evo 2 Pluses, sell Evo thats in the car to Don Juan (DJ)
4- Keeping the Rotas on the car with A/S but, I gotta buy some RIMMMMZZZZZZ and Tires for Auto-X/Track, im pretty much settled on the TR Motorsports C1s in 15x7 +42 12.8lbs, because A: they are $89 per wheel, and B: they are $89 a god damn wheel!!!!.

16s on a white hatch, obviosuly diff body style but you get the idea.

I really really like the 6ULs but I dont really see the point in paying $40 more per wheel.
My only concerns are, can I eventually run 225 Hoo Hoos on this wheel and offset without having to do any crazy camber or alot of fender rolling? Should I go 15x8? If so what offset would work?
My research says yes I can but I would like other peoples input. Not much help from Honda-Tech, everyone is all about HERRAFRUSH and MAD TYTE STANCE YO. So suggestions on informative forums would be nice as well.
Tires im going with Star Specs in 205/50/15, because they are the next best thing to the unobtanium that are RS-3s. They also have a $80 rebate at Tirerack so that makes them under $100 per tire.
5- Drive the living piss out of the car!!! Mostly focusing on Auto-X to get used to the car, and hopefully popping my track cherry in November.
1-5 will happen pretty instantly, with the money obtained from selling the GSX.
Things im thinking about planning/doing/researching:
Buy Trailer
Brake Ducts??? Needed???
Oil Cooler??? This ive seen is a 50% dont think its needed & 50% think its good cheap insurance
Pro Sport Warning: Oil Pressure/Oil Temp/Water Temp Gauges
CF Hood? dependent on weight.
Other than that im playing it by ear and just going to change the car to meet my needs as problems/thoughts arise.
