Default I'm Back! - Just Put Money Down on a New EF

Since I sold my CRX to field a 944 in the 944 Cup I've been pretty out of touch with the EFs. But I'm back.

Sold my 944, relocated to Kansas, and will likely be joining the Midwest Honda Challenge next year (need to get some seat time). Just put money down on the 2003/2004 H5 championship entry. May update it to an H4 with d16a6 engine/tranny and rear discs (still have to decide how if feels to drive).

got the car...got several things to do before it's first race at Hallet in late September

- just put a deposit down on a trailer to tow it (gotta find a good place to store the trailer)
- just ordered some new pads (hawk hp plus) and rotors (slotted and dimpled) - still have to inspect the old ones
- installing a kirkey int road race seat and getting a seat brace welded in
- working on existing camera mount to work with my camera
- getting new belts as the existing ones are a little frayed
- flushing the brake fluid
- flushing the water and adding new water and motormax
- making door window inserts out of plywood to plug the hole (windows were removed) to prevent the elements from getting in
- getting the car to the shop in a week to do: engine/tranny oil changed to redline sythentic (i think it aleady has it done anyway), get it aligned and suspension tuned and checked out, get the car's timing checked out and see if it needs a tune up, corner weighting it with me in it to see total weight and distribution

Nice what mods can you do to the car according to rules? Also I would have gotten Brembo blank rotors instead of the slotted dimpled.
