Did some Autocrossing...
Went to the 24hr event at Continental Tire here in Charlotte. It was a good opportunity since its the first time I've done any autox in this car. I didn't prep the car at all, just took it as its daily driver condition and had some fun. I didn't do all that great, but I learned a lot, met a bunch of people and had a good time.. Heres some pics..

3800sc. I don't even really know how they class, I don't know much about autocrossing. Like I said this was my first one so I was basically out there to get a feel for the event and get some seat time. The car has a bunch of basic mods and when i asked one of the other guys there, he said I would run in SM2. I wasn't going to be competitive anyways, so I just said OK. I don't know if the 88 cradle swap makes a difference, and either did he, but I ended up in SM2 cause of the 3800 basically.

Wow! Your car looks great! 87 coupe? What mods do you have to put you in Emod?scrabblegod wrote:With the cradle swap, you should be in EMod. Welcome to my world. It is a tough class, but that just makes it better when you do well. The nice thing is that once you are in the mod classes, most anything goes.
What does that wraparound spoiler come from?

Thats insanity. Stock 88 is in SM2 right?The Dark Side of Will wrote: Yes, the cradle swap puts the car in E-mod because of the cuts that have to be made in the strut tower tops. The '88 setup is not purely update/backdate.
If an 88 cradle swap puts it in emod, might as well do an engine swap and brake upgrade too since its in the same class.. I wonder what it takes to get a Fiero competitive in emod.
