Hey everyone...just found this after looking for AT coolers and upgrades.
I'm working with a 1999 Sedan V6 (J30A1). A couple of friends and I have gotten together to turn this into a road track build for an endurance race for beaters.
I'm researching everything I need from here and a couple of other forums, but there's plenty left to do. Ideally, we'll install:
A transmission cooler
Rear sway bar
Strut tower brace
Cold Air intake
Sticky tires (Star Specs are recommended for this series of event)
Depending on whether or not I can securely mount some tubing, brake ducts
All of this will be DIY, and all of it will need to be done on the cheap (<$500). I've sourced the sway bar to a couple of different Acuras, now I just need to nail down which one and how thick I'm willing to get...18-23mm sounds like it's my range.
I'm also trying to source as cheap of a CAI as possible.
So, all in all, there's lots of work left to be done and still a ton of searching. I'll be sure to post picks as the build progresses, but right now, it's just a mess of a shell. The roll cage goes in in February, so the pics will be a lot clearer and more definitive by then. If y'all have something to add, I'm all eyes.
It should go without saying, but this will be ALL TRACK, no public roads whatsoever.
Looking forward to some Gen6 BSing with you all.
