Default Silent Knight - build

Figured I’d start a build thread. At this time I’m not building for a certain scca class, but in a few years I intend on racing with scca a bit. For now, just building hpde weapon.

I’ve owned the car for 7 years now and done some mild upgrades. Here’s the car when I bought it-

I appropriately named it the “sh*t box”, but over the years it’s gone from an ugly eye sore that was quick to less of an eye sore and pretty fast. Thus it has been renamed to “Silent Knight”.

When purchased:
1995 original R package
Black, spray painted silver stripes, blue electrical tape stripe lines
Hard dog roll bar with death-trap extended hoop
kosei k4r 15x8 w 205/50 R7s
afco FM coilovers 650/400
FM sway bars
FM butterfly brace
rebuilt NA8 from prior owner (forged pistons & rods)
Kraftwerks gen 2 c30-74 8psi
unknown headers
thermal dynamics mid pipe & muffler
chopped windshield
gtc250 3d APR wing

Laptimes
Limerock 1:04.6
Thompson full course 1:28

see post 2 for up to date lap bests
