| The front control arms feature ball joints instead of mono-balls and are also adjustable for camber. |
 |
| Camber, caster, toe, and any other suspension adjustments are made prior to or at the track using toe plates and camber gauges. The interesting thing you'll probably notice is how many stock parts this DA Integra still uses. While the bushings are replaced with urethane and spherical joints where needed, the control arms, tie-rods, and trailing arms are all OEM. A very smart move because if something breaks, you can usually call up a NAPA or local wrecking yard and find the parts you need without special ordering and waiting weeks after an event just to possibly miss another. Oh, and those axles you see in this picture are 3 year old pieces made by Raxles. Goes to show if it ain't broke, just maintain it and it will last you many years of service. |

| As mentioned very early in this feature, the transmission is a GSR unit that was built by Synchrotech Transmissions, who specialize in Honda and Acura transmissions. They also worked with MFactory, who are also Honda/Acura drivetrain specialists. It uses a Fidanza flywheel with a prototype single disc MFactory clutch. |

| The Interior is all business. There are aren't too many gauges to distract the driver, there is not even a speedometer. It's an Autometer Autogauge tachometer with Recall, a Shift Light, AEM Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge, fuel level gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltmeter, and water temperature. That's it. It doesn't even have any data acquisition. He doesn't even have a clock to check his lap times, the only other electrical parts are the ECU, the Longacre Racing shut off switch, and engine start switches. |

| Edik utilizes Pyrotech safety nets on the driver's window and the right hand side of his seat that attaches to the dash board. He's also using a 10 year old Momo Seat and Steering Wheel. He does not use a passenger seat, but does put the ballast there to centralize the weight. A friend made the base, 4-point roll cage, then Edik and his family created the rest of the straight and NASCAR Style Door Bars. |

| The Hondata S300 ECU is located in the passenger foot rest as Honda intended it to be, but they sure didn't intend on that ECU. It is tuned by ”Turbo Joe,” who has tuned all of the Hondata controled engines Edik has used. They also built and tuned this engine in 3 weeks and started off making too much power before it was dialed in to the 193 HP they needed to be class legal. |
 |
| It also means he is utilizing the Honda OEM Ignition system. He's not even using an external coil. Again, that not only adds to the reliability, but also to parts sourcing. Something goes wrong on the Cap or Rotor button, call up Autozone. More than likely, they have an OEM equivalent that will get you through the race. |
