I'm finally in a position to own and maintain a track car!

Engine build sheet: Thoughts appreciated







Things i'd like to tackle first:
(Please send any advice)
1. Wiring; the wiring in the engine bay hurts my eyes. I'd love to clean it up a bit.
2. Paint; I've purchased the necessary equipment to be able to paint and would like to give it a go. I hate red paint.
This list and pictures will grow I wanted to get this started though

Purchased my seat rails from Street faction and they came in today. When I backed my car out of the garage (garage is a mess no room to work) I noticed a drip from under the trunk. Found a fuel leak.



Never had to tackle a fuel leak looks simple but looks can be deceiving i'll be searching the forums and youtube for some assistance.

Not sure what type of track you'll be doing, I assume drift? If so, I'd go with fortune auto coilovers over the megans. For steering, run a slightly lengthened s13 FLCA (maybe like 15-20mm), maxima inner tie rod, and an OEM style outer S14 rod end. If you already know how to drift, get a cut knuckle. If you're going to learn how to drift, run stock knuckles until you master the basics, then switch to a cut knuckle. The rest of your suspension/chassis looks great.

Regarding your leak, check for cracks in the hardline and tears in the rubber. Make sure you're running J30R9 rated rubber fuel injection hose and using proper fuel line clamps, and not the ones you have there.

Have fun with your build

Really appreciate your response. I'll go through and swap out the hoses and fuel line clamps.

Definitely will add the items you mentioned to the list too.
