With the goal of performing better at the 2016 Super Street FF Battle we have done more development on Project 1993 Integra than last year. Although, to be honest, in 2015 there wasn’t much development on the DA besides the Progress CS2 coilovers. And we didn’t even get to test them out before the last FF Battle presented by Continental Tire. Brian swapped the supercharged K24 right before heading out to California for the event. So, this year #project1993integra is a completely different animal. It is making more power with it’s Hondata K-Pro tuned by Tim Kelly at Xact Dyno and generating loads more grip with super wide 18×10 Konig Wheels.

Project 1993 Integra with it's wide Hush Performance front end, new splitter supports and supercharged K24 swap busting out of the hood. Yeah, it's slightly different than last year.

 

Translating those improvements to quicker lap times requires testing. That is what brought us down to Tucson, Arizona to a go-kart track called Musselman Honda Circuit. It is a rather large go-kart track that is wide enough to run cars. Since a huge part of being fast on a time attack course is being fast through the corners, flogging the Integra through the tight, technical turns will really help to get a feel for what the car wants to do and expose any changes that may need to be made.
