Hey all! Long time lurker but some of you may recognize me from facebook!
As a little background I purchased my Boss while overseas and got to come home to an awesome car. The car has grown with my driving ability from stock to various forms over the years but I am now ready to get more serious with it as after the mods last year I drive it on the street less and less.
The car as it sat for the 2013 season
The car as it sits now
Current mods are: Grand AM spec AST 5200 gas independent reservoir coilovers on 550 front and 300 rear lb/in springs, ARP studs, Forgestar Vorshlag special 18x11 wheels, Cobra Suzuka seats with Cooltech Boss harnesses, Boss 302S grille and an adjustable PHB. I am running about -2.75 degrees of camber and am hoping for more than -3.0 once this seasons mods are finished. My drivetrain is all stock with about 25k on it. I've also pulled the sound tube thingy and the rear sway bar (I was lifting a rear tire on power out and going open diff)
My future mod list is kind of open right now but I already have a QD wheel, Cooltech oil cooler kit, rear seat delete, MGW Race spec, and Laguna gauge pack that all need to get put on.
My tentative mods list (open to suggestions/feedback!)
1. Watts link (my passenger side rear wheel has rubbed the fender liner off so my rear axle is clearly moving around too much with an adjustable PHB)
2. Tiger racing hood (likely in fiberglass for durability/repairability)
3. Lightweight battery (looking at the Braille GU1R http://www.summitracing.com/parts/brl-gu1r?seid=srese1&gclid=CJjBgc_Cy8QCFcpZ7AodoUMALw)
4. Boss 302S front bushings
5. New brake pads (carbotech xp16's fronts? maybe titanium shims? My pads are absolutely smoked after years of hard autocross though they put up a good fight)
6. Stiffer front springs? Adjustable sway bars?
I am really competitive in the local autocross scene in my area which is really strong to begin with and plan on doing Optima Challenge in Michigan on June 20th-21st this year. This also means I might have to tweak my setup a bit since I am running on 305 Pirelli DH slicks.
A quick clip of one of my autox runs last year (I really messed up that second slalom )
