Ok, after much reading, bugging people and asking stupid newb questions, I've come up with the following:
Original auto - 1995 Del Sol Si, D16z, 110k miles, 5 spd.
Intentions - Semi DD, car meets, track through HPDE3, and then I'll reassess whether I want to get a full time track car. I will be doing things like replacing carpet, adding dynomat, and other interior/exterior bling type things.
Build list:
B18C (GSR) full swap, Hmotors
ACT HDSS clutch
Exedy Flywheel
Short throw shifter
DC Sports 4-2-1 header (Steel? Ceramic?)
2.5" cat - Bosal
Tanabe Hyper Medallion catback exhaust
Hawk HP+ brake pads (Front)
Hawk HPS brake pads (Rear)
New Rotors (Autozone)
Earls SS brake lines
KSport pro control damper system (coilover shocks)
5Zigen ProRacer GN+ wheels
Megan Racing upper strut bar (Front)
CF Hood
One of the more subdued front bumpers (Mugen style), side skirts, rear lip
Paint job
Race seats/harnesses
Chip mod/tune
Tires will start out as Dunlap DZ101, 205's.
I've already got the brake pads/rotors/lines, and I'm getting some good deals on the KSports and 5Zigens ($400 for each), I'll get those in early Dec. I'll be removing the power steering (Not a complete rack swap, but the tie-off method described on H-T.), but leaving in the AC (Phoenix).
Other options: LSD, rear wing (Although the wing is iffy, I want the front to come down not the back), and possibly a mild engine build down the line. Also possibly removing the driver SRS and replacing the steering wheel, but I need to check the legality of that for the street.
Opinions/suggestions/flames?
Also for norcalgsr or other knowledgeable people- If I went with higher compression pistons, do I need to replace the rods also? What type would you recommend? Also, what cams would you recommend if I changed those out?
