No, I'm just welding it in because that's the usual way to do it, one way or another you don't want it rattling around.

Thanks for the suggestion, half the reason I want to drive better is to prove my setup works. A trophy (at a national event) might be too much to ask, but it's fun to try :D

I'd agree that in general the suspension/tire setup vastly outweighs any engine mods in an autocross. In our case we have an easy metric - SSC. As I see it, until I can run with the best SSC cars...

FWIW, there are some XS* cars here in the DC region, the DC Tour has 9 in XSA, including Brian Karwan in his 86. We usually had a few in XSA and B at events last year.
