I also run in STS with my 1990, been so for the past 2.2 years. Thinking about a major engine something (swap, boost, build) and go play in SM.

I do auto-cross from time to time, but in New England, Maine especially, those times are often hard to find."Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities."Comment

I've been autocrossing my Protege since it was 4 months old. I ran it stock for the first 8 years, sometimes on street tires and sometimes on R-tires (anyone remember the A-008R-TU? Or the first-gen BFGs. Or the coolest tires, the original BFG R-1s with the assymetrical sidewalls for camber-challenged vehicles). In '98, it became an STS car...shortly thereafter (about 4 hours), it acquired a salvage title (Doh!).
I have no idea how many events I've run (although, I show up many times on Google), but I'm in the top 40 of all-time points in the LA region, and they started keeping track in the 50's. With my recent move to Kansas, I won't be getting many more points in LA.
The Protege now has 218k miles on it, many of those driving to and from autocross events.David Avard

good to know there are other fellow protege members. We should have a contest to see who can rack up the most points for 2004.Eat ****.Comment

I autocross at Gulf Coast Region's division in Pensacola and I run in STS. I've only been doing it since February of last year, so I still consider my self a newbie at the sport. I still have plenty to learn.Comment

Interestingly enough it was a year ago and one day I first took my car to Buttonwillow. I haven't actually "raced" my Protege... not yet. With the configuration of the car it's not really going to be competitive in any autocross class I'd like to enter. We'll see. I was thinking a Miata might be fun....

I think you'd be surprised. In stock form, you would be competitive in a street tire class (HS). I ran there for years when my car was classed in ES. Of course, in LA, you'd have to beat my old competition, who now races a Ford Focus ZX3.Originally posted by charlesInterestingly enough it was a year ago and one day I first took my car to Buttonwillow.

I may race the Protege near the end of the season, depending how the points situation goes with the Miata. I've very curious as to how well she'll do. I enjoy spirited driving with the Protege, but I'd like to open it up and go full blast. We'll see.....-Kevin

Stick to the miataOriginally posted by kcbhiw
She up and running yet? I see you've got the whole front end off. It wasn't e-coated
which is why there are problems now.
Good luck with it. Sometimes I still wish I had a miata to play around with. It'd be nice.
