Last year i did my first autocross. It was set up on a road course, using just some of the track. There was two straight aways that you would swerve through, various boxes to go in and out of etc.
I rode with a buddy the first round (he has an integra with coil overs and all kinds of stuff), to see what its like and get some tips. Worked out pretty well, I had really good times for having a heavy muscle car with just a couple things done :rockon:
As far as suspension mods go, i have H and R race springs, Bilstein HD shocks/struts and full length subs. Currently have 275 fuzion's on all four corners. With just these few things, I thought it handled it self really well. It was the first time i really got to use the springs what they were made for. The worst part is the GT seats (no support), esp since i have leather, I was getting thrown side to side like a rag doll.
I plan on doing a few this year so i have some questions.
The couple issues i had was in the sharp turns, if i carried to much speed into the corner it would push like a mofo. Literally I had the wheel turned and the tires would just slide.
How do I prepare for this situation and how to I correct it? Can i work the rear end some how?
What psi should I run the tires at?
Also, i went in ESP class ( i think) in the street tire catagory, right class?
What would be the next mods to help? I would like to kill to birds with one stone example, a set of lower control arms that would be good for drag and turns.
Thanks
