im at the end of my turbo build right now. so when im finished im going to stop and wait a few weeks and deside on what i want to do. i might upgrade to a good set of coilovers(no idea which ones) and definately be using my competition tires at the next event. next season for points should start in feburary, so i have a few months to prep this car. im gunna try to get serious into it, but its still for fun..
(i would need, new set of street rims and tires since mine are messed up, seats, harness, harness bar, and good coilovers..) thats kinda alot, so ill have to evaluate where im at in a few weeks. i could of really used a little extra power at this last event, so im thinking this turbo build will be great at low boost for autocrossing in.

An LSD would go a long way with that list of mods, especially for auto X

I actually did read through the read before I commented. I'm still surprised someone modified a minivan that extensively. My comment was a result of awe and not something I posted just after looking at the pictures. I also read that you used the wrong homophone for "threw".

ya its a blast depsy. even if you just mess around and have fun and dont try to win, you still have a blast. most people dont mind you riding with them (atleast at the regional scca events)

some people are worried about breaking stuff on there car racing. but scca solo autox is rather safe on cars.. other then hard on the suspension parts, tires and brake wear is minimal since the course your racing is rather small, and you have plenty of cool down time between runs.. tires r really the only problem because my street tires stink when put into turn after turn like that and there good street tires to.... they just dont keep up with you push the car that hard.. (my only real problem, overdriving)

ya thats the guys.. but they build there mini vans right, lol.. honda takes there powerplants seriously. doesnt matter what vehicle it is, it will fly if built right..

i wanted a ride so bad, but i was working the course and to busy racing to ask for a ride, it was so badass to see the pro driver rippin through the course in it.

ya i know man, ive juts been doing so much small custom work on my car that its been adding up left and right, it would of definately helped out at this last event, i could feel my car lacking so hard in the sharp turns that it just couldnt grip on at all.. definately going to try to get that done before the next seasons starts

i want to get an lsd sometime soon, and hopefully ill be able to hit up one or two of the national events. but those events are intense, peopel take it so seriouesly.. i need more track time.. cant wait for next seasons.. SM class is going to murder me already know it.

Did some ECU tuning.

Hood was not CF. The orange car does have CF body parts.

The red car is really pretty stock. Nothing major at all. Well we did wax it with a new kind of wax I found at Auto Zone.

P.S. Damon, We like your car and it looked great on the track.

^^Thanks yours to, it was my first time out, i need some pointers(my fastest run was a 58.9, but that was in fun laps, and super bald street tires)... gutted interior and roll cage on a mini van is sick! (never got close enough to see everything and talk to you guys)
cant wait to see that orange one at the next event (ill have my good tires and i call shotgun on atleast 1 run!!!!)
