Yup. I’m kinda leaning that way. I just have to decide if I want to tackle this myself or have my tuner build it. I spoke with him yesterday to get a ball park on the labor and I want to die lol. Trying to do a little research now.Getting a used Gen 1 engine from a junkyard or a Parts farm...
Honestly I never bought this car with a power goal in mind. I’m more on the safe/reliable set up side of things. Whatever set up I can do to be good long term is what I’d like to go with.
Yeah I’m gonna sit on it for awhile. I’m in no rush. I do a lot of my own work but I’ve never done a rebuild before. Learning on a car that I NEED to work when the motor is in is why I’m weary on that option lol. Shortblock seems easier. I don’t think I want to sell the car. If I sold it...

My main question - my car is an early 2011 car so I'm assuming it probably has the throwout bearing spacer that...
Thank you! Yeah I figured everyone has different set-ups, preferences. I just wasn't sure if the S197 chassis itself does better with softer/stiffer settings of any kind. Was just looking for a general starting point, if there was anything different compared to KW's settings.
Thank you for this! Lots of great info and explains it easily enough.To be honest, this is my first event since May 2022. My 2 year old takes up all my time and money lol. Being that it’s autocross I’ll probably only have 6-7 laps, I probably should just focus on driving as is, I’m sure...
