Hey Everybody, I got a 2000 Civic Si with a Procharger, Skunk2 Megapower RR 76mm Exhaust, making around 290 fwhp and 201 ft/lbs and now I'm looking to do a complete suspension and I was wondering what you guys think is the best set up I could do for my whip? Thanks - Tom
Hey, I don't really have a budget, I got some money laying around and I want to build it even more than it already is, I drive it sometimes cause I don't like to put miles on her cause I have a truck too but I like to race her at the track too, Whats the best set up you think I should do
Thank you 203CT for your suggestions, Bloodshot, What would you like to see of the setup? It's a C1-A Procharger with a 2 core intercooler running about 7psi, its mid boost but the engine has some modifications to withstand the boost pressure, its just a mild setup, Are you planning on doing one yourself?
She's in rough shape, I just took these photos this morning, You can't see the intercooler because I just recently installed it so I still have the stock bumper
and for the dyno runs we just took off the bumper, I put the bumper back on for now considering its 30-40 degrees out here until I get a new carbon fiber one, I have crappy steel rims on it right now but I just ordered Forgeline GZ3R rims for 3,600 bucks, I know the number is high but they are high performance three piece forged rims that weight around 18 pounds a piece which is crazy, I ordered them in 17x7 size http://www.forgeline.com/products/competition-series/gz3r.html, I'm soon going to order ground control coilovers for it, and I'm pondering the idea of swaping in a F20C from a S2000 and converting it to Rwd, I know I have to replace the drivetrain but I could replace it with a carbon fiber driveshaft and a Quiafe Differential, It's still in rough, Winters coming so I'm planning to build my car up throughout the winter so it'll be good and ready for the spring, The supercharger was a mild build, it was pretty cheap to do for the powergains, I tried uploading the photo for it but Imageshack is crap, Its pretty genaric, Its just a B16A2 with a C1-A procharger, If I was to do a F20c swap I'd probably sell the supercharger and the motor, and heres a pic of my rear, Before I get jumped, I do not have the Skunk2 Exhaust on it right at the moment cause It's a nice and expensive exhaust and I don't want it to get flithy in the winter, I'm an auto detailer so I know that exhausts after the winter is s**t, So I put the stock on for now even though it'll be in the garage all winter now cause I'm going to be building it instead
[/IMG]I was thinking of smoking the taillights which would look pretty sweet I think, Please, I'm open to opinons, I'm sure theres a lot of you out there that know a lot more about Civics than I do, I'm a Beamer guy lol
for cosmetics i recommend removing the front license plate and put it where it should be. don't smoke out the tail lights they look fine the way it is. you should raise the car a bit since its winter u never know when it will snow and you wouldn't be able to drive nowhere kuz your too low. other than that it looks fine.
You race already but don't know about suspension? Do you have any idea of what spring rates would suit your driving style and needs? Do you have any chassis bracing (tire bars, tower bars, sway bars, pillar bars)? What type of track are you racing on?
