Back where I belong

First sports car, my triangle love drew me back in. I still miss it sometimes. '88 TII

Yeah it's more a fun, occasional HPDE, local CS car with the options. But the color combo, maintenance records and 51k adult owned mileage drew me in. $12,500 later and this: '05 with leather, butt warmers, Bose system and most important... Black interior.

Yep, we were parked on the infield @ Nopi Nationals in '99

coilovers would be the best choice.

To be legal for stock class in SCCA autox the only mods I can do is replacement shocks (planning on Koni yellows) a front sway bar and I can run Hoosier A6's or Kumho V710's.

Really loving this car thus far!

Check with your inspectors first and see how much knowledge they have. A number of performance sports cars come with coilovers so they might not know any better.

You would be surprised how many people cheat the SCCA over because they see a high volume of cars and could never know every detail. From transmissions that have been reworked, to rear diffs that are far from stock.
