The adjustable endlinks are a great mod. Wether you autocross or just run an aggresive suspension setup. Though the reinforcement braces will definently help, I doubt it will be noticeable. Don't fergot you wont get be getting into high speeds. Sometimes less is more, try to get a balance of understeer and oversteer. Best mod is the wam up tire mod, warm them up before your run.

 

sweet, thanks for the info. I do want to do some track days this year too, so maybe in the springtime I will get the braces. Sounds like end-links are thew way to go... my car is squeeky anyway lol

 

best mod would be tein mono flex coilovers or Stance(great for track ride harsh), or if powered by max has them for the Z yet. All except the mono flex are very reasonable at about $1000. I run the mono flex and stillen 3 way adjustable sways and I love it. The other thing that makes a big difference is tires, even without running R comps, running good/wide tires helps tremendously. I am looking forward to taking my car autocrossing this spring, should be interesting, I'm down on power, but I'm big on rubber/grip so we'll see.

 

I just got some PIAA Super Rozzas with BFG KDW Gforce, 285/35/19 in the rear, they look pretty beefy!

$1000 is out of my budget right now, maybe 1/2 way through the season it should be better, but 3-400 is all I can do on suspension now. Thanks for the info, I will def look into that when I have more available $$$. I need some exterior repairs in the spring first, and that is going to cost just a little bit lol.

 

Now here's a question that I think I know the answer to, but figured I would ask anyway...

Tire with a plug, safe to autox on?

 

Why not get Tokico D-Spec's since you already have springs? Many give this setup nothing but praise.

 

tire with a plug = rollover and your car bursting into flames.

Trust me I have seen this happen multiple times.

Honestly if the sidewall isnt plugged than you should be fine, if you drive it at highway speeds then your can drive it at the auto-X

 

lol oh nooooo

No it isn't in the sidewall, its in the middle toward the inside of the tire well. Sucks... on brand new tires!

You get my PM btw?

 

Shoot me a p.m. Mr. Pratt next year when Autocross season starts. The names Mike, we met once at Function Tuned when you were changing out your VLSD pumpkin fluid.

Actually that goes for anyone that goes.

 

Were you the one that went for a ride with me after the install? Man, I can't believe that was almost a year ago.

I will definitelt shoot you a pm to remind you, but I will definitely be at this one on the 20th!

 

Yeah, I can't believe you remember that, but yeah that was me. I look forward to it.

 

I need a front sway bar, intake spacer, HFC, and some wider tires before the next outing.

If I havent sold my RX-7 then I might take that beast out...I know it loves cold air!!!

 

Has anyone pre-reg'd for this? Or are you guys just planning to show up and pay the day of?

 

I would pre-reg but i don't think I will be able to make this one, I definitely will in a few weeks.

 

hmmmm, i think I might do this

 

There are still 45 slots open. I managed to talk 3 of friends into making it out, though none of them happen to own Z's.

 

i am not sure if I will have ANY car at that point other than my wife's Jeep LOL

I will see, I may just register the day of if I have my new ride by then. If not, then next time.

 

I've seen Honda mini vans attack the course, though VMp does have a mud bog

What is this new ride you speak of
