GAME ON
Robispec TIME ATTACK Build
For those who don't know who or what Robispec is, we are a chassis shop that takes pride in making cars handle better than stock, have consistant handling charactristics, and allow the cars driver to have more feedback before things get outta control.

For this build we will be using these criteria.







Does the modification/deletion make our FRS:

1. Safer @ the track
2. Faster @the track
3. More Reliable @ the track
4. Lighter everywhere (not always the same as #2)

What will have very little to no influence for this build.

Does the modification/deletion make our FRS:

1. Keep the WARRANTY? (if you want one KEEP YOUR CAR STOCK)
2. Quieter (intake brakes exhaust come to mind)
3. JDM cool
4. Looks over function (We like looks but like going faster more)
5. Easier to Daily drive
6. More comfortable to daily drive
7. Sexier to pick up girls with

So with that short intro let the BUILD BEGIN.

First order of business will to be getting the handling sorted out

This is what we have done so far.

Lowered the car 3" ( and Center of gravity 3" too) with a combination of tire size and custom suspension components that yield stock camber gain curves,lowered Center of gravity, corrected roll center, bump steer,anti dive, wider front track width, and stock travel on the suspension (though we do change the compression vs droop limits). See cliff notes above.

I was able to take the car to the local dealer and get side by side shots.
