It's mini stock class and the rules are pretty stringent. max 150 advertised hp and no bigger than a 3.1L v6. It's wheel to wheel racing, paved circle track with hard banks.
I started off with a $225 95 escort gt that had a burnt clutch and 210,000 miles.
trans out...
What the clutch looked like...
New centerforce clutch back in that I had laying around...
Fixed a lot of crap like the fuel filler neck, fuel filter clamp, head lights, all the nasty dash squeaks, fallen shifter, e brake cables and set up the rear brakes properly. Deleted the cat, b code vaf, added 4 degrees of timing and took it out racing. Never did any work to the suspension as I have never raced before and wanted to try it before I got into it.
came in 2nd place in both my first races and 1st in the last race. I am hooked. I was singing at 7500 rpm in 2nd gear so stepped down a size in tires. Also added some camber to the front passenger tire
Before...
After....
This should allow me to run in 3rd gear the whole track and still have the power.
I also deleted some unnecessary stuff under the hood. Like a/c, cruise control, and the complete windshield wiper system. We are not allowed to gut the interior unless the car is caged which it isn't yet.
I also added a magnaflow fart pipe off of an mx3. it now sounds like a pissed off weed wacker at 7000rpm.
