A small update!
 
I missed the last autocross event of the season but my car went through some minor upgrades. Once I get the money I’m going to add 3” drop springs for the rear to help level out my car and upgrade to 6 piston calipers up front.

After the autocross in KC and getting tossed around like a rag doll I decided to install race seats.

So I switched out my front calipers to a 6 piston and it made a world of difference. It’s amazing what a few extra square inches of stopping surface will do. Anyway, I got the car setup for my first SCCA event and she was hooking up great but I really need to learn not to over power my car around corners. It might help upgrading my tires to a DOT race slick just to keep up with the rest of the cars in my class. Either way had a blast and each run my time got faster.

So this summer I was knocking down some laps at MPH and going around corner 5 started hearing some noise coming from engine. Not taking any chances loaded the car and headed home to see what was going on…well come to find out ended up blowing a head gasket and filling 3 cylinders full of water. The engine bay was dripping wet with antifreeze and a pain in the butt to clean up. Well got her back together a couple weeks before the KC goodguys and she’s running better than ever.

While at KC doing the autocross I just couldn’t seam to break that 30 second mark so I gave the keys to Kevin Miller and Kyle Tucker to see if they could break the 30 second mark. I didn’t get a video of Kevin but did get one with Kyle. Oh and did I mention that I couldn’t get my 10 year old son out of my car!!! I didn’t even get to ride along with Kevin or Kyle because Zach jumped in the car before I could. Here’s a quick video of Kyle and Zach doing the GG autocross.

So I ended up buying a fays2 watts link for my car in hopes for better traction. I’m also thinking about a strong arms and adjustable coil over shocks for this winters upgrades.

Craig that looks like a pretty sweet setup! Sounds like you need to talk with Natha and get some driving lessons at Hastings, that lady can flat out drive!

Were are we at with this car....?

Just read the whole thread and i like it!

Im in about same situation as you with an ultra clean and 100 % numbers matching car that i cant come to tearing apart!!! Bolt on 's are a possibility as i could keep its value and easily turn it back if wanted.

Inspiring.

Lead.
