After following FFR for the past 20+ years, I finally took the plunge and ordered a coupe kit yesterday. It'll be mostly used for autocross, some occasional road course and a few street miles in between.

Current projected ship date is March 3rd for the car. I went with the 3-link combo, but I haven't decided on which coil-overs just yet. I'll most likely end up with Wilwood 14" front and 13" rear brake combo. I know it'll hurt some feelings but it's getting an LS1/T56 combo I have laying around the shop. It'll be around 575 hp at the flywheel and going with a flex fuel setup so I can run pump or E85. I'll be doing the work myself, with some occasional help from friends. The goal is to have the car on course, with or without paint, by early September for testing. I have a couple events I really want to run before the end of the year.

I know we have some veterans in here. What kind of advice do you have for a first timer?
