I've been on the "fast build" several times before. My 12 sec Turbo Auto-X Civic was built in under a month....you wanna talk about dropping a ton of cash in no time? I was sponsored, so it was a quite a bit cheaper too.... So I know where you're coming from.
Doesn't look like much, but it's decieving....those wheels are 15", and weigh only 8.6lbs...Spoon SW388...yeah, anything with "Spoon" on it, for a Honda is going to set you back. Also, the suspension was all Tien...and the motor...well....
It's ALMOST the equivalent of what you're gonna be running...eitherway, it's a turbo motor that pushed me into the 12's....and 12 inch Integra Brakes...which is how I was talking from experiance on 12" brakes on a HEAVIER car is MORE than enough. It's about the Civic equivalent to what you're building....
My Cavalier...yes, Cavalier SEDAN ran 12's with a soft launch and had a GM PROTOTYPE MOTOR....I look back and think to myself...all that money just to be 1st...bragging rights are $$$...By the time I was done, that was probably a $40K Cavalier....yeah, what a douche, lol.
If you can support it financially, by all means go for it, it'll be the ride of your dreams. But if you're blowing out everything
just so you can be 1st or be done fast....trust me....It's not worth it, is all I'm saying.
But if you can support it....go full speed ahead and never look back....
