Nismo and whiteline bushings are pathetic compaired to SPL, i have run both. Also the subframe bushing are a must, and yes they are the only ones on the market.

Also if your going want to be competative in street or mod class. Better coilovers may be needed.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.....

I won BSP (including the pro's) the only one I attended in Oct. Fun group.
Yeah waldorf is 5 min from where i grew up (Mechanicsville) and yeah that didnt include the "pro" class in 2009. Those guys all run the national levels in amazingly prepared cars lol... hard to hang with them when i was just starting out back then haha. I havent had a chance to race up there since then so I dont know where i would stand.

Just fixed the original post and deleted the COBB AP from the list to avoid confusion on the build. We are prob using Utec or haltec depending on the deal we get

Does anyone know where i can get the 3m clear bra for the front of the car? Like the clear protective stuff? Do they make it in sheets or make it pre cut for your car?

Many places offer it as a service.

What Time Attack series will you run in? I ask because of your choice in tires and the relatively-low HP turbo kit.

And I agree with others about upgrading those SPC pieces to SPL pieces.

I plan on running every event possible on the east coast for 2011 and end goal to be racing Redline late 2011 and 2012. Im just waiting for the NASA schedule to come out and other schedules before I commit to anything.

Also I updated the list because i realized I had old parts still on the list like the cobb and tires and some exhaust will be switched to custom if not all. There were also a few things I didnt have on it because it wasnt being bought asap (Hoosiers).

Also I will find out today the exact details of what turbo im getting, but I know it will be more than enough power

46 races in one year is going to be really tough...even the 42 if you don't do the Friday's is going to be a lot of consumables and time.

Those are just the races that are on my list... its a very rough schedule, im sure ill take a least a quarter of them off... but yes we plan on running that much or as much as we can, money and time are always going to dictate where we go but this is a list of possible races... i guess possible is a better word than tentative lol



Btw Ive talked to Greg from NASA and the only thing i would need to change to be legal is take the methanol kit off
