So......a long long time ago I spent a bunch of time here. And then I didn’t (long story)

Well I’m pretty much set on the idea I’m going to be autocrossing a 4th gen again.

So what has changed?

Some things I’ve found already:
Tires are drastically more expensive
Available “good” r compound options are even more limited
Street prepared has some allowances I would have liked to have way back when
The “newer cars” have taken over ESP
Wheels have gone up in price. I think I only paid $400-450/wheel for CCW’s

CAM C looks like a class that I’d probably run in “most” of the time just for the participation.


What else has changed in 10 years LOL

OH, is that landstuhltaylor here? Nice! Yes, well done, sir!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

On another note, does anyone have a link to a picture of that '81 'SVO'? As an SVO owner, inquiring minds want to know. I'd also be very interested in the list of update/backdate parts that were used, but that's for another list.

There are some on Facebook under their profiles as well as on gotcone.com and all the other photographers sites. They had a V8 in it up until two weeks ago or so (it ran with the turbo 4 at Nats 2016 and blew up day 2). My understanding is that they have a hard time finding the turbo 4 parts but that it is much faster with that engine in it. Their first real runs in it were on the practice course on Wednesday and they were still tuning it on Thursday runs.

I'm still not sure how they justify gutting the back seat, but until it starts beating me I don't care.

And on that note, trying to get a custom diff made or get the Truetrac modified. If that doesn't work I'm probably bailing on ESP and codriving for a while until I can get a half-assed CP/CAM/SM build going. All the tricks I have up my sleeve won't be worth anything without a better diff and the G threw away what should have been an easy win with cones.
