I haven't done th rears, the stock rear tires are on in today's photo's.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Mmmm, negative camber...

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

MMM this will be a fun ride to tune :). I am assuming we'll be using street rubber?

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

CAN i ride along? actually i need to stay away from that thing makes me want to get one.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Just ride in the back seat for a while, you won't like them as much after that.

And yes Josh, street tires. The new tires are mega bucks, mostly for the fact that is doesn't last very long when you drive hard on them.

sexay!

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Edit: Ditching the AC. Must go faster... I should probably swap my CF hood over too.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Leave the A/C. You need any help removing it?

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

It's half gone already. As are the stock IC's and piping. FMIC on the way!

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Are you implying that the back seat is still in the car? That isn't necessary for SM!

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Yes it is. And so are a bunch of other things that don't need to be.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

This is why it was at the LaCroix house this morning, very nice!

FMIC, I can haz too? I am sure my stock car would love one.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

^what?

If you are taking out the AC, does that mean more weight is coming out?

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Possibly, I am considering going full SM prep with it. Which would mean very little interior, and a bunch of other stuff. Need light weight seats as well, 80lbs is way to heavy for the drivers seat.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

If you strip a 3/S, can't you get them down to about the weight of a fully loaded DSM?

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

I was just looking at the rules again. I can't strip it, I was looking at the wrong category yesterday. But yes, with some light weight parts, and some parts removal, 3300lbs is achievable with most of the interior. Going to the extreme end of the scale there are a couple out the that are ~2850 with driver. The one that runs 8's is that light.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Thats right, I remember seeing that one. That would be so sick to have a 3/S that light with a simple engine setup making good power. With how wide those chassis are and how much room for tire there is relative to a 1g, it would be a blast.

What can't you strip out of it? I thought I read I could strip most of the interior but have to leave things like the dash and heater setup intact and fully working for SM. You can remove a/c and p/s and stereo though I know for sure.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

Put starquest seats in it, they definately aren't 80 lbs, and knowing mitsu, they bolt right in.

Re: Project AutoX domination!
 

The WIDEness of the car is a bad thing. Lots of extra work to do in slaloms, costs a lot of time.

Per the SM rules: back seats and seat belts, radio and speakers, but not the wiring. The rules of Stock, Street Touring and Street Prepared can be used as well, but I read through all those and SM is the only one that even lets you take out the back seat and belts.

When I go for seats, I think some nice 11lb Kirkey race seats will be the way to go.
