Well I wish you good luck man.I will suggest extending that roll cage through the fire wall and stiff up the front also a Good custom fab aerokit(don't expect to use that kit you got on and see if any downforce att all,diffusers,ect.If I was close to you I can probably hook you up.Care full choosing the sway bars and suspension and even if you do manage to make the car work on autocross which is awd territory.You'll be dealing with oversteer(happytail) which some times help on corners.I give you this man lol you have some gutz lol.hope it works out.Full Race sucked because of there aero maybe you can make a diff.good luck man.
ps I'm a aerodynamicist lol if that matters lol

i have not seen you post here much..... do you race also?

this build is not going on anymore as far as we know. Charles is also no longer part of the forum


i come from the scca Washington dc region and AWD didn't do very well there. FR and FF ruled. it may differ region to region, what region do you race in?

it totally depends on which class you talking about. like i know AWD usually dominates in STU, and of course AWD always dominates if it happens to rain on race day

I, unbiasedly, have to agree with biggame, AWD dominates against other AWD with autocross, FF and FR drivers tend to be several tenths (if not whole seconds) faster than AWD drivers.

Sorry just been busy man.We have been trying to tune a S chasis to go out and play But so far its been a mess lol.First I wouldn't go for that Chassis.S14 or S15 have better chances of getting a 50/50 balance.The motor was a great choice tho.JIC Magic for suspension is the only way to go for damping.They Sayed the car weighted 2150lbs which means some serious downforce most be used.You will have to customize a hole new bodykit to make this happen.Front splitters and diffusers thats easy to come up with.The proyect was doom when you tryed to use a hatch.
We race from time to time just been out of budget lately lol.Since we haven't finish our s14 thanks to HKS.
It was a good set up just the wrong chassis.
I work for Koemotorsports and I'm a builder.
We just build cars for others but now were making one for all purpose race.
Problem Is the Roll Cage.You can't have all in one.
Well good luck guys
