Hello everyone,
I am considering an SCL build. It will be mostly a street build, but for occasional track days. I will probably never use it for competition. I am mostly considering the build for the sake of building a car (so I can tell the cop that just pulled me over that I have touched every single bolt) but also to have a really cool car that does not cost $3M.
I am an okay fabricator, but I have never worked on cars all that much, and never for fun. Also, it seem reasonable to say that if the car's performance is around a 10, the driver's performance will be close to 2. This will be a ~lot~ more car than I can actually use.
So the reason I am posting here is to see if anyone has an opinion about what I am planning to do. (I know, right?)
I am thinking of using a fairly new WRX/STI drive train and chassis computer. Since my pony target is only around 400HP, this seems like a smart choice. It's not very expensive, though I am not really trying to save money, and very easy to source. It's also a pretty light option. I will probably get a wrecked WRX or two from copart to source a lot of stuff. I don't need or want a stereo, but I do want sound deadening and carpet. Air and heat are an absolute requirement.
Waddaya think? Does this sound like a good plan? Anyone have sage advise?
