'12 AutoX thread

Well, I guess having the earliest event of any surrounding regions means I get to start this thread every year! :hick:

Beautiful 50* February weather, and a chance to blow the dust off the car. It was a great day!

What other models are in your class? Im assuming you have a lot of suspension upgrades, but I'm curious to know how the tbird compares.

In my region, I run in a class with a pair of FF Cobra kits and a 65 mustang.

The FF's are 1K lbs lighter than my car, and the mustang has a 393ci small block.

Search for threads started by me. You will find most, if not all, of my mods. The short list includes tubular parts, some coilovers, and IRS.



Next event, 3/25!!

I finally busted my autocross cherry today. Drove a friend's Elise with A-Comps. They had a performance driving class on Saturday that I didn't attend because I was busy pulling shrubs from my girlfriend's house. :disappoin

Time to rebuild the T-bird's front calipers and autocross that sumbitch.
