To be honest I'm not even sure if that would be quiet enough for what I want. I may end up just making my own catback with 2 giant mufflers.
If I could get it to sound slightly louder than running the Tomei 60s by itself IMO that would be perfect!
I guess we'll see...
I wonder how a header/op/fp would sound with the stock catback..

That is a good question, I'll be getting to that setup as I progress through my build plan. I am planning to do my exhaust beginning with the headers and working my way back to the catback. I am going to be doing the ft86 speedfactory uel catted headers and eventually their resonated v1 catback though, those will be much quieter than your setup. I am leaning heavily towards Motiv Concepts op/fp.

Finished installing the wheel studs. Piece of cake!
This is seriously the easiest car I've ever worked on.

Tires are ordered and should be here Thursday. I decided to stick with Dunlop Zii's in a 245-40-17 after running them last season with huge success.

More to come soon!

Why did you need studs for your RPF1s

I didn't need them for the wheels. I always replace studs on cars that I autox/track for peace of mind.

Ooooh that makes sense

Aznsky · 02-25-2014, 02:09 PM

man so much money spent in so little time! I wish I could do that....looks good!

xDanger_208x · 02-25-2014, 02:13 PM

That's the beauty of having a good job and no wife or kids haha

xDanger_208x · 02-27-2014, 09:54 PM

Tires arrived today.

4 wheels/4 tires barely fit in my winter beater haha

I must say, of all my years racing and modifying cars.. I've never seen a vehicles "attitude" change so drastically from a wheel/tire swap. She looks like a monster now!

More to come! Should have more updates tomorrow.

Those will come soon. It's still up in the air because I'm waiting for exhaust pieces to arrive and I'm too lazy to put her up on stands again haha

Could a moderator please move this thread to the autox/track forum please?

Love the look. I'm planning on doing almost the same exact setup for my autocross build. How are you liking the coilovers?

Love them so far! I've only driven 400 ish miles on them though. Poor thing isn't even broken in yet.
