Thats the reason I put off my tranny and engine work to buy my racing wheels instead. Though the last auto-x was not my greatest the new rubber made a very noticible difference.

Once I add a front strut brace and a fresh set of sport or adjustable rear shocks I will practically be done with my suspension mods (new bushings will eventually be a necessity).

While I can live with 300 HP at the rear wheels and the oil leaks, I am anxious to change my ring and pinion since that would really help my acceleration at the slower auto-x speeds.

At least at this stage of mods I feel much less limited by the car and can focus more on the whole driving side of the equation.
