Quick Intro, Sophomore at CSUF. Money for the FRS comes from my Marketing Coordinator job for Re/Max. My first car build was a 1992 Prelude and was recently stolen 6 months ago; which allowed me to upgrade. My goal is to make around 200 at the wheels.

Goals:
1. Keep it a 10/10's car
2. 4th gear should actually pull...
3. Reliability same or better
4. Daily Driver friendly
5. Be different

New Setup

Impressions of what I did so far 5/6/16:
Honestly I think I'm done. E85 with a 4.56 Final drive is amazing, you honestly feel a pull through all the gears up until 6th. 0-60 time on a good 70 degree night is about 5.8-6 seconds. On the highway 3rd gear pulls up to 77 now instead of 83, but my 4th gear feels like the new 3rd gear if that makes sense. All the gears seem to have a purpose now 1-2nd are torque monsters, 3rd gear gets you to freeway speeds, 4th gear is when you want to pass aggressively, 5th gear is passing passively, 6th gear is overdrive. Shifting is refined with the mtec shift springs. My exhaust note is now perfect, no drone until you go full throttle. The TRD Intake really improved throttle response and felt like it added a few horses in the low-mid range. The ride is comfortable with pro kits. The best part? Nothing I did harmed my cars reliability.

Awesome tools I used creating this build:
