Foglights and HID's for a track car?

it was a daily driver till i turbo-ed  it and bought track tuned suspension on it. now it rides too stiff and with a 7lb flywheel and 6 puck solid hub clutch it does not like to be daily-ed.

i don't see any motor pix? what's the honda got?

Hmmm...Im thinking, keep the LS and sell the others to get rims and suspension

sorry but i dont have a recent pic but it looks a lot cleaner now but its a d16a6 block with ls rods and a stock d16y8 head with a chipped p28 ecu. the fmu is there just to raise the fuel pressure a little bit also it has 450cc injectors not yet been dyno tuned so i have no clue on hp but i can estimate around 270-300 with 250-300 lbs of torque. all with a t25 turbo that hits full boost (15lbs) at 2200 rpm.

Man I don't want to be negative, but I've made this mistake before. Trying to build multiple projects at the same time on a budget usually does not work out very well. From my own experiences, none of my projects would get 100% of my focus, and in the end it would show. I would end up with like 3 projects that were all about 40-50% done (in my eyes anyway). Talk about never being satisfied, reminds me of my ex-gf. But anyway, I learned from my mistakes, and now build one at a time. Hopefully you will do better!! You should ask yourself the tough questions tho .... like what you are trying to achieve and how much you'll really be using these cars for those purposes. Don't wanna end up like me, two race cars and a track that closed (aka two less spaces to park and two rust pits), two cars built for the same purpose, neither completed 100%, and another project that constantly breaks and needs maint. (aka takes time away from actually enjoying the cars/trucks that work)... that sucked ....

as of right now im focusing on the lexus due to finding a trans for the cressida is hard as hell where i live and thats a long term restomod  project. then the civic is down for the winter till spring when auto-x, and road course track days open up. 

so if you focus time one car at a time you can do it. at one time i had 4 projects going on and finished all of them even tho it took me 3 years to do so but i enjoyed every minute of it. 

i cant have just one project thats just not how my mind works

Do you have any pics of projects from the past that have been completed...maybe that will clue us in to your skills?
 
I just see 3 cars that need a lot of work and money, but  maybe I'm wrong.

minus the fact of my other two cars lets carry on with this one.
