![]() ![]() I don't think I have a racing resume online anywhere but here's a little bio from my personal website: ![]() I'll be working the bugs out at local autox events up here, plus I plan to attend 1 or 2 SCCA events in the northeast prior to the Nats. I've always been a fan of lightweight, nimble feeling, high revving cars so the 8 pushes all the right buttons for me. Thanks for the great response, guys! I'm really excited to build this car and I have to say in stock form (well, almost stock) it's a lot more fun to drive than my previous project, a '06 G35 coupe. Long-term I may look to do a custom Rotrex supercharger install or maybe some kind of engine swap, but for this year the plan is to max out the build as much as possible within the STX rules. Got some other good stuff ready to be installed too, but any advice or feedback you guys might have about how to go about building a competitive STX class 8 would be greatly appreciated. ![]() I've used RE-11s on a C6 Corvette with good success for Time Attack, so it'll be interesting to see how they work on the 8 for autox. The rims weight 19 lbs, which is among the lightest on the market in a 18x9. My first STX legal mods have arrived already and I'm looking forward to bolting them up tomorrow. I'll also take it to some lapping days, maybe a Time Attack or two, and will be track testing all the mods made in a step by step fashion so I can document how the car's performance has improved throughout the project. I haven't done much autocrossing the last four or five years (mostly been road racing and doing some Time Attack events), but I used to be a very active cone dodger back in the day and I'm looking forward to getting back into it (though I'm sure I'll get my *** handed to me at the Nats.I'll be there so I can produce a good story for the mag and hopefully not embarrass myself too badly in competition). The plan is to build it as a STX legal machine and take it to the Nationals. I just picked up this '05 that I'll be building as a project car for Modified Mag (which I work for). ![]()
