I started modifying my car a few weeks ago for autocross. It's a 1973 1.7l car with a more or less stock 1975 2.0l engine, very clean. After the Portland PCA AX #1, I made a few postings and got some suggestions. Rather than continue to hijack that thread, I thought I would start my own.
So here's where we are at today: Tarrett Engineering front sway bar installed and set to mid point 225# Rear Springs and perches Koni Sport Adjustable Shocks set 1/2 turn from full stiffness Turbo Tie Rods 205/50-15 Kuhmo Ecsta XS Tires Empi 44mm Dual Carbs (replaced a single Weber) Mallory Unilite Mechanical Advance Distributor JWest RennShift side-shift Triad Headers and Exhaust System - heat disconnected of course Porterfield R4-S Brake Pads - to be installed next week I think that's about it. Damn, she drives nice. Super tight in the corners. Wow. So, what's next? Besides just drive and compete. I know that. I don't plan to miss a single autocross opportunity in the Portland area. Pictures next. Don't complain yet. Would love to get more ideas and suggestions. Thank you, Steve |
