I drove it home about 40 miles so it's not that bad from what I can tell. I'll have the car inspected later this week or next from top to bottom to make sure it's all ok. Will let you know.

 

I would definitely look into an STU legal tune. It will help a ton. Make sure Kevin understands you can't touch ANYTHING boost related.

You could consider a map for race or E-85, but I would talk to Kevin and get his opinion on what it would be worth power wise.

Honestly, the slower the car the better to start. A fully prepped STU car will be very quick and a fully prepped ASP car may be too much for the novice or beginner driver. No offense, but things happen very quickly in cars these speeds.

What is the rest of your setup? Driving experience, etc.

Are you open to running other clubs?

 

I will get the power sorted out later. I've had the car for two years and have really enjoyed the reliability of all the car's OEM hardware, including the clutch. I bought the car at 50k miles and have every reason to believe it's stock.

I honestly couldn't tell you if it's been tuned or not. I just know that it feels like a stock evo. The previous owner did install a catback exhaust, which is still on there today but that was it. The cat and downpipe are stock, along with all the IC pipes and intercooler. Even the plastic DV is still there. I added an intake because it was time to change the OEM filter and someone was selling a new HKS one for really cheap so I bought it.

Suspension-wise, I added the Bilstein's from a 9 MR, on which I installed some Swift Spec R springs. At the moment I'm very happy with this setup - though some camber plates would be nice since my camber is maxed out. The alignment is by Forrest at Texas Track Works and is -2F (bolt flipped), -1.5R, 0 toe all around - very conservative. I'm using the stock Enkei wheels and Hankook RS3 tires, 245/40. Next season I'll go as wide as I can without doing the crazy fender-rolling/flaring y'all have been doing.

Prior to last Sunday, my experience consists of I think 7 autocross events last season - two with BMW for sure and I guess five with NTAXS. I've run on almost all the current surfaces: TMS bus lot, LSP, Pennington, MW and now Resistol. I'm still very much in the learning process.

I'm definitely open to run in new clubs, but only want to commit to two/month. Occasionally I'll get another one in if I can. Right now I'm leaning towards NTAXS and ER. I've never run in SCCA. We're fortunate to have so many local clubs!

 

sounds like you guys had a lot of fun out there!! Wish I could have been there to see Jeremy take flight lol!! Hope you get your car back up and running man.
