Well, I've gotten to that point where I'm not sure where to go with my car. Here's where I am: 2000 T/A, stripped interior w/ cage, full suspension,T2R, 17x11's w/ DOT rubber, intake, exhaust, bolt-ons, lightened somewhat. I don't know if I should go for a cam package (more power), move to 18" wheels so I can get full slicks as takeoffs, get an aluminum flywheel and clutch upgrade, or what. I never really gave too much thought to where I wanted to go once I got here. I'm moving to road race, so that's what I want the car to excel at.
For now, let's assume a budget of $1000 for parts. I'll probably do the work myself. |

Crap - sorry guys. Forgot to mention that I upgraded my brakes recently. And, just got a new helmet and suit. I would like a new seat, though. That may be an option. I still have shoes and gloves to buy, but those won't break the bank.
Now, I don't have ducts. But, I think I'm going to fabricate some when I do my front splitter. That'll all be homegrown stuff, so it'll come from the "slush fund". For tuning the cam, I can get a cam package and tune here at Thunder Racing for just above $1000 (cam package=$799, dyno tuning=$450-$180 that I already spent on the regular tune). Oh, and I have no worries about classifications. At No Problem Raceway (the home track), our Grand Bayou series classes cars by qualifying times. If you run a 1:23, it doesn't matter if you're in a Ferrari or a Pinto - you're running side by side. I don't fit into any NASA or SCCA classes as it is, so I'm not too worried with it. |
