The next local event is on 4/14 at Firebird. You don't need to do any mods to your car to run.

Tires, tires, tires, and tires. :P Hands down biggest performance booster you will get from "bolt on" for the price.

I personally don't care for much of anything cosmetic. my last two cars i washed every 6 months (well actually my friends would wash because they would get upset that i was mistreating my cars..). Just to set a baseline.

Personally I swapped the projectors out of my headlights so i could properly put in HID's as I could not see around corners while on "spirited" drives (safety first !). I have a set of KSports sitting in the warehouse waiting to go on, that will likely be set at the near absolute maximum heigh. (im not giving this as a direct recommendation get whatever you want and it depends on what class you want to drive in). following that will be a re-tune from visconti (hopefully next month!) then flex fuel once he releases his kit. and a drop in filter at the same time.

Then i will likely be swapping brake pads, lines, fluids. And once Nameless releases their header I will likely be ordering one off the bat with a full exhaust & the quietest muffler they have.

Once I wear out the factory tires I will likely swap out my sway bars to balance the car out roll-wise to compensate from the added grip.

I have the NT05's so it would be nice to see just how massive of a difference there is between them.

Another great thing to invest in is seat time with an instructor. AutoX goes against all the normal driving habits so having someone to teach you is the most valuable thing when learning the sport. I have a bunch of bolt on parts on my car and some drivers can still beat me in a completely stock car for example @Evil86 and his Co-driver Elliott.

Thanks everybody. I do plan to go out a few times stock but I will be saving up for wheels and tires in the meantime.

I will finally be able to go to the pavs tomorrow and look forward to meeting everyone in person.

Seat time and getting your car out on autocross while its stock. You can then really appreciate what the stock car can handle but also the mods you are doing to improve things.

Yeah my first time in a car.. only ridden it on a bike until now LOL

Should add a lot of thrills to a 191 loop.
