Default My car is too fast! Otherwise known as the New Car thread.

Well here it is, my replacement 1995 L from LIC motorsports:

http://community.webshots.com/album/187863058fbUZiF

Yes its fast, at least to me. Its not as fast in say 4th or 5th gear, but 1rst-3rd is awefully quick.

Here is the mods:

MY2000 2.5 Conversion, with MY2000 Tranny (by LIC Motorsports)
WRX rear diff w/ LSD
Custom full 2.5" exhaust (Magnaflow muffler, high flow cat)
Custom CAI using 1.8 Intake
Lightweight Flywheel (unorthodox?) and ACT Clutch
Vishnu Underdrive pulley

STI short shifter/linkage
Custom Eurathane reinforced tranny mount
RS stock suspension
WRX 20mm rear swaybar
RS front brakes
WRX rear brakes/hubs
MY98 Gold Rims with Yokohama tires

RS seats
RS red stitching shift knob
60/40 rear fold down seat


Its got a few scratches and noises and other issues I need to address, but otherwise its got a very nice interior, and only 68k miles on the chassis, which is awefully good for a 10 year old car.
Right now im only running stock headers/cat with a ~2.25" funky custom catback. Ill get the other GOOD exhaust on there as soon as I get the new exhaust hangars and one or two other small things I ordered (shifter busings, steering rack bushings, diff bushings).

I dont think Ill be able to afford a decent suspension anytime soon, let alone any other serious mods, which is nice because this car doesnt need anything major at this point. The tires should last at least another year, the brakes are basically new from what I know. So that just leaves mods and such. I do want to get to Sac Raceway as soon as I get the other exhaust on, that should be fun, maybe an autocross if I can get a saturday/sunday off, otherwise no track days for awhile for sure.

Comments?
