i do and dont agree with you axel

what do you plan on doing to the car? Drift/Drag/Auto-X/Daily driver/street car

depending on what you want depends on the mods you should get

if you want to have a good track car then do suspension you wont need an a$$ load of power to win on the track

try lookin around on some of the engine forums and suspension forums here at NICO for some good pointers from each of the guys on the forums

3 trillion? That'd be sweet. Just use a quad turbo setup with a flux capacitor.

I wish there were mountains here :[ As for building your car, seems like you pretty much know what you want to do. It's going to take very long if you don't have money, but if you do it won't, simple economics.

not a bad start

some advice, expecially if you want to drive mountains, keep the power lower with less supension, if you get more suspension then power increase can take place, you dontw anna be driving fasta nd have body roll and crapyp suspension on turns with liek 600ft drops

Well, unless you put some serious money in to the engine and have a lot of internal work done, you're going to be disappointed with the power the KA puts out in NA trim if you're expecting anything approaching 200hp at the wheels.

Quite honestly, you'll have about twice as much clutch as you will need. If you're keeping the car NA with bolt-ons one of the ACT sprung hub discs would probably be better on the street than a 4 or 6 puck disc.
