if you want to learn how to drive, drive what you have now and dont worry about tuning, tires or HP - just drive it and learn how to be smooth and carry momentum.

since u live in NJ, there are plenty of autocrosses around. Check out http://www.autox4u.com and my website http://www.autocrossnyc.com

I drive a yellow ITR and am very willing to help people out. I should be at the March 1 autocross at englishtown.

I wish I could find a CRX around my area for that cheap. Most ads i've seen online has people wanting nearly $2000.

But to the poster, I've only heard good things about the performance of CRXs in autocrossing.
