Never really posted in this section but im sure i could get some good insight from you guys. I have never Auto-x'ed but from what ive seen it looks fun as hell. lol. I just recentually brought a 91 ef hatch that i was thinking about using for DD and from time to time Auto-X. Until about 2 years ago i have never seen an ef auto-xing and when i finally got around to seeing it "I WANT TO AUTO-X". I wanted to know how should i go about preping my car for this. In terms of suspension, engine, etc. And remember im just a broke spanish kid from around the way so good pricing is a must lol...LMK

 

Almost anyone is going to say, get some seat time.

So first, clean your car of all objects that can flyout , then take out the spare tire.

And your set for your first event.

 

Also you can read over this.

Solo II ( autocross ) Novice handbook. Lots of helpful material

After a season. Get some good street tires ( hankook RS3 or falken azenis or etc )

 

thanks imma have to look into that site......and you think itll be good to give it a shot bone stock suspension sand all that?

 

Yes 100% , youll be good to give it a shot with bone stock suspension and all.

Alot of guys do that here, with stock setups and good tires and have a blast.

After a few seasons get heavier into modding the car. But for the first few years spend the money on the events and youll have alot of fun .

 

Intresting.....appreciate it. Do you know how i could find out about events around my area?

 

I'm usually in florida only for vacations so I dont personally know any groups.

But heres some stuff I found.

You could get away with stock suspension, but things are going to break and you have to be prepared to fix them. you have to pay to play.

 

i bet.......tahst what im sayin. illprolly go stock until i break a axle then upgrade

 

Props for wanting to use your car the right way. Haha.
Just go from stock like everyone else said, then make whatever adjustments necessary (buy parts from there). Good luck, bro. Don't forget to have fun! Yadadi???

 

Stock car/suspension + decent tires = fun.
