tein s-tech springs, rrm x strut bar, rrm rear strut bar, rrm rear sway bar. adjustable front cambers, ummm... i think thats it.. oh. and completely bald tires that dont grip at all.. rims are 17x7 axel race with 205/40 nankang ns1 tires..(was my cheapo setup i got just to try out some things)
im at the end of my turbo build right now. so when im finished im going to stop and wait a few weeks and deside on what i want to do. i might upgrade to a good set of coilovers(no idea which ones) and definately be using my competition tires at the next event. next season for points should start in feburary, so i have a few months to prep this car. im gunna try to get serious into it, but its still for fun..
(i would need, new set of street rims and tires since mine are messed up, seats, harness, harness bar, and good coilovers..) thats kinda alot, so ill have to evaluate where im at in a few weeks. i could of really used a little extra power at this last event, so im thinking this turbo build will be great at low boost for autocrossing in.

ya its a blast depsy. even if you just mess around and have fun and dont try to win, you still have a blast. most people dont mind you riding with them (atleast at the regional scca events)
some people are worried about breaking stuff on there car racing. but scca solo autox is rather safe on cars.. other then hard on the suspension parts, tires and brake wear is minimal since the course your racing is rather small, and you have plenty of cool down time between runs.. tires r really the only problem because my street tires stink when put into turn after turn like that and there good street tires to.... they just dont keep up with you push the car that hard.. (my only real problem, overdriving)

ya thats the guys.. but they build there mini vans right, lol.. honda takes there powerplants seriously. doesnt matter what vehicle it is, it will fly if built right..
i wanted a ride so bad, but i was working the course and to busy racing to ask for a ride, it was so badass to see the pro driver rippin through the course in it.
i want to get an lsd sometime soon, and hopefully ill be able to hit up one or two of the national events. but those events are intense, peopel take it so seriouesly.. i need more track time.. cant wait for next seasons.. SM class is going to murder me already know it.

Wheels were stock MDX.
The only thing we did to the suspension was H&R springs and the stiffer (stock Honda)
dampers.
Cats were still on the car.
Did some ECU tuning.
Hood was not CF. The orange car does have CF body parts.
The red car is really pretty stock. Nothing major at all. Well we did wax it with a new kind of wax I found at Auto Zone.
P.S. Damon, We like your car and it looked great on the track.
