Project AutoX domination!

[MustGoFaster]

So I have a few desires to make my car a bit more competitive at AutoX. I hope to get these done over the winter, but as with everyone here, I don't have a money tree in my back yard. I am planning to run the Street Modified class next year, instead of the Street Tire Index.

1. Fix the brakes! I have noticed between driving a few cars that my breaks are not very effective. I have EBC yellow pads which are supposed to be are more of a race/high temp pad. I hope to replace these with Carbotech AX6 pads, and install my SS lines.
I went with Porterfield R4S pads instead. Need to install.

2. Front end work. I need new PS rack bellows, tie rod ends and a passenger side outer axle boot. Maybe new lower ball joints as well, I have an odd click when transitioning form braking to accelerating that I haven't been able to pinpoint yet.

3. Sticky tires! I have a used set of 275/40/17 Kumho V710's. Planing to get 17x10 FN01R-C's. This is where not having that money tree kind of hurts... Tires Check 17x10 Enkei RPF1's check

4. Corner weighted and a full alignment. I've been doing my own alignments so far, I would like to get a real one done by the local pro. Biggest reason I haven't done it already is goal #2.

5. More power! I want to do a few mods. Individual intake pipes and eliminating the stock (un-used) MAS are #1. #2 is getting an intake manifold from an NA 6G72 hooked up and functioning with the AEM. #3 is getting the giant FMIC I have put on. I would like to improve the low end TQ a bit, it just needs a little more response at lower RPM and I think it would be perfect. I also need to get a working IAC so it will idle nice. Oh, and a 3" catback as well.
K&N filter, NA manifold, Check!

6. Gauges. Knowing something other than coolant temp would be nice. I have them already, need to install. In progress


This list will probably get a bit longer before it gets shorter, but I need to get it started.

And of course I will continue working on the MOST IMPORTANT mod there is, the driver mod. I have aways to go, but have made leaps and bounds in my first season of auto X. I feel my next big steps are learning left foot braking, developing more consistency, and developing my ability to apply what input instructors have for me.
