Set up a Race Car

Setting up a race car is cool because you get to customize your car using your own choices to make something you like! This article should be a good start to building a race car.

Steps

  1. Find a cheap, used car (Sedan or mini-van).
  2. Replace parts with original racing parts (e.g. Exedy Clutch, HKS Exhaust).
  3. Replace pistons with forged pistons.
  4. Install turbo to increase power.
  5. Replace the exhaust with larger pipes.
  6. Adjust the air filter to apply maximum power.
  7. Change the batteries with OPTIMA Redtop Batteries.
  8. Replace headers for a good look, if you'd like.
  9. Replace The wheels with Alloy Wheels to reduce weight (preferably 20" Rims).
  10. Replace tires with performance tires to increase traction.
  11. Install spoiler to increase traction.
  12. Install Nitrous Oxide to increase power. (Beware, this is illegal in many places, especially in the U.S. Check state laws.)
  13. Replace clutch with a racing clutch (e.g. Exedy Racing Clutch).
  14. Replace suspension for comfort.
