Sounds fun haha never been or done it

 

[firstorbit84]

You're welcome to come out to the Jax events, but if you're in port orange then there are events closer to you through the central Florida region scca.

It looks like I should be around for the April events. I was going through the solo class and my car is kind of in between the stock class and next one up.

 

[firstorbit84]

What all do you have done to it?

The big things that will bump you from stock class are springs/coilovers, tune (unless you switch it back to stock mode), and wider wheels

 

[rdss]

Tuned, 19mm spacers and looking at Eibach springs and a front sway bar when I get back..lol I could probably do a stock tune with ECP added to it to keep my Forge BPV happy and pull the spacers before heading to the track.

 

[firstorbit84]

Yeah if you flash to stock and take out the spacers you'd have no problem running in stock class (even though the bpv is not technically permitted I don't think anyone will give you a hard time, especially in h-stock).
Then we could run head-to head in the same class

If you add the sway bar you'll still be ok too. but the springs will bump you to street touring fwd (stf), if you run the stock tune. Springs and a tune will put you in street modified fwd (smf) and in that class you might as well gut the interior and get a bigger turbo

 

[rdss]

I think my DDM intake and second cat back exhaust might be a problem as well as a cat less down pipe!lol I might as well gut the car and get to it...lol It might be easier to just run the truck.

 

[firstorbit84]

Nah, for a first timer I don't think anyone will care. And if I'm the only other person in the class I'd have be the one to complain

Last season I saw a mustang v6 with the shaker hood and intake running stock.

 

[rdss]

Nice, it would probably take everything I have done including the tune to keep up with you anyway....lol I'm a beast on Forza though!!!

 

[firstorbit84]

The power won't really help without suspension and tires and maybe LSD. You'll just spin the wheels every time you touch the throttle in a turn.

High HP fwd cars take a lot of grip or a lot of finesse to auto-x quickly

bump... another event coming up this weekend in green cove springs.

 

[rdss]

That's right down the street but I go out of town Sunday and will be busy Saturday.
