Good point:D I am running my MKIII Golf right now. I bought a 325is that some one wrecked and didnt want to part out. I picked it up for next to nothing. Then I picked up my car that needed a clucth and the project just started from there.

I have to run my golf in STX because it has a LSD. I didnt even notice what times other people ran because I was having so much fun. The region I am in has some really nice people. I just want to run the E30 because I dont like working on the Golf.

Talk about turning into a turn. :up: Now that's some lean.

If you have only run one autocross you should maybe wait a bit before building a car to a specific class, maybe? Just drive it and have fun for a while. :D

I am currently building a car and I think DSP is the class I want to run. I have only run one autox in my street car, so I have some questions ...

On the LSD, yes you can update/backdate any diff that is an option in a DSP car on the same line (so all E30s) 3.73, 4.10, and I believe a 3.91 (ix diff).

Thanks couldn't remember off the top of my head, I have the STX rules down pat, however.

Thanks

I am currently building a car and I think DSP is the class I want to run. I have only run one autox in my street car, so I have some questions about my rule interpretations.
1. It is my understanding that I don’t have to run an catalytic converter.
2. Do I need a rear seat?
3. Do I need a headliner? I have removed my sunroof and a headliner replacement would hit me hard in the wallet.
4. Can I run a LSD? I have a 1990 four door that I am building, but the LSD is out of an 87 is.

You haven't read the rulebook have you? Spend some time studying it and it will give you ALL the answers you need, but since I saw this I'll answer ir for you.

1. Yes, as far as I remember, you don't have to have an Emissions legal exhaust.
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. You will need to check on backdating but I think you can.

Indeed Fair.

Fair... when you say Pat's car has 'no power' can you elaborate? I've seen his dyno plot and have a very similar one (minus a few ft. lbs... darn cat) from the STS 2.5 RS I've campaigned in. Just curious what your definition of 'no power' is.

Ah, I meant no power mods legal in and typical of Street Mod. Non turbo Subies just dont register as powerful after driving so many boosted ones. ;) Makes his SMOD win that much more impressive. :)

[rsafier]

I had a low car on big tires and the camber was fine, about 2* perhaps 2.5* negitive in the rear. You have enough tire the lessened traction isn't a big deal and helps even out the wear some. I had zero adjustment in the rear, I don't true eccentric bolts, at least on my Vettes they would get out of wack very quickly after a couple autocross events even torqued to crazy high numbers.
