I'm an SCCA member so I was $20

i'm getting a girl i know with a mustang gt to come to the next one at mid-state...then i'll try and get her down to the hershey 0ne in oct
Cool! Got home tonight and found out my car is just plain falling apart. Last night (Sat) I was trying to figure out why my idle is so lumpy.

Popped open the hood and saw that my distributor lost 2 bolts and the 3rd one wasn't even close to tight. Then today I failed tech inspection at CPR this morning 1 was my battery tie down was loose, and then my wheels were shaking a little. Wheel bearings on 2-3 corners are shot. I guess after 184,000 miles I guess things will start turning up

It's not gutted at all. All the interior is in there except my seat is a Sparco Fighter seat. You must be smoking something good Lawrence

It's loud because I have a straight exhaust from the cat to the back bumper.

I would think an MR2 would be good for auto crossing, mid engine, light. I look forward to autocrossing my 914, if it weren't so nice, I would put a cage in it and vintage race it.

Any car is good for autocrossing because there are 20+ classes to pick to run in. You can run stock or a modified. Street tires or Street Mod.

Although I've driven an MR2 at an autocross. Super Fun. Hopefully Lawrence gets hooked enough to buy R tires

Lawrence - is your car turboed? Cause I didn't think of it til now - if it's not you should be in ES, if it is then BS is your class
