Will you Autocross your 86?
 
Will you Autocross your 86?

Mine will most likely have cone marks within days of taking ownership of it :)

Planning on running in the local street tire group for the first year then run in Stock or Street Touring (STX?) depending were the car will be the most competitive.

i know i will be autoxing the 86, so i can retire the FC from that sanction.

I'm seriously considering running in Stock, especially with the rule change on anti-roll bars where now I'll be able to change the rear or front rather than just the front. I'll have to buy new 17x7 +48 wheels and 215/45 NT-01 rather than run my 17x8 +35 235/40 track setup. If the brakes calipers are the same as the Impreza, it's just a matter of sliding in Carbotech AX6 pads and hitting the parking lot.

Of course.

How not? I have a track 15 km from my home. That is also the purpose of my purchase of this car. For everyday I have a car. If not you see what daily car I wish.

Hint: Sig.

If I didn't care about autocrossing and track days I'd be looking at something else :)

Thinking Stock then STX/STR next year

I will see you out in the stock group. I just hope I fit in the damn thing with a helmet on.

Chupacabra 12-26-2011 05:43 PM

Yes! Hopefully I can get a few test n tunes to get familiar with the car before I put it in a stock class.

What group do you run with? FAST? SCCA? someone else? I'm in Tampa.

SVTSHC 12-26-2011 05:50 PM

My FR-S will ONLY be for groceries.

yes, 99% sure it's Imp brakes

chulooz 12-26-2011 07:01 PM

Yes! Cant wait to get it on some larger courses either.

Thrashy 12-26-2011 07:04 PM

I'm planning on it. I'm very interested to see where it'll slot into the SCCA Street Touring category. Right now it seems like it's about 50/50 as to whether it'll be in STR with the Miatas and S2Ks, or STX with WRXs and Bimmers.

Ribface 12-26-2011 07:42 PM

I am hoping for STX, I don't think the 86 would be competitive against the S2000.
