absolutely yes, but keep the weight down and it would trounce any other car in its class. Maybe even faster than a MS3

Still doing it it's been on/off 5 years of AutoX. Car still runs great and is my daily driver, too.

Sorry to hear you have so much grief with your MSP. Personally I love my MSP, sure sometimes I love it less when I see a MS3, SRT4, Cobalt SS, or even my brother's Focus SVT. I would not say I hate it.

Diesel Mazda2 and a RX would be what I want in my garage.

Keep the weight down, 250 is fine, if the weight is sub 2800. I rather get a lightweight decent HP car than brute that weights 2 tons.

Don't forget Audi and Jaguar. Also a lot of car companies are now using aluminum in their engine design. It makes sense that AL has gone up $$$, since the process to extract AL is extremely energy intensive.

The best handling mod for auto-xing imho is seat time. The MSP already has decent handling out of the box, and it'll take some time to learn the limit of the car as it. Don't get the best tire out of the box too. You want to learn what it is like driving on the edge. Progress towards...

There's Driving Impression at Lime Rock Park. They sell basically safety equipments from head to toe. They also have a website -- http://www.teamdi1.com/

You were watching a Connecticut Autocross and Rally Autocross event. You should come, they have a novice class where they have instructors to get you on course and get started. The other ones are SCCA in Boston, NASA-X at Giants Stadium, and SCCA down in NJ. Don't worry about cost, if you...

This is a great thread, good luck to you. I'm also interested in the schroth belt. Let me know how the installation go. also are you planning on putting a camera in your car?

I'm interested in a set, but I would compare the two set to see which one is the best one.

You have the general trend right, but it's really not just more fuel that you make more power, the point is that larger displacement "displaces" more air so you burn more fuel and so more "power" Now about the bore, stroke and i'm guessing you are talking about the geometry of the piston all...

Ethanol has less energy density than gasoline, hence the lower gas mileage. Also, people argue that growing bio-fuel takes more energy than using petro from the ground. Well think abou this, how much energy did it take to grow a dinosaurs or some "animals," compress it to some gooy black...

I think this car is great, but due to the brass at GM they dropped the ball. Rode in a friend's GTO and it rides great and I think it's a nice car. I just don't agree with how GM always try to reuse car and "rebadge" to something which it isn't. They should of just brought it over like a...

Anybody got some good hints on how to loosen the allen bolt? I can't get it to move. Also, I know this sounds stupid, but loosening the bolt is left from engine looking out or outside looking toward engine?

When you said private loan, did you mean loans from a bank? If you had loans like Perkins or direct loans you can consolidate with the govt. I think the rate is now around 3%.

I personally don't care for the MS6, since it's big and heavier than what I think a sports car should be. But about the interior and fits and finish thing, that shouldn't be the deciding issue for a sports car. When you drive and I mean really "drive" I don't think I'll will be worrying about...

This is discrimination, because most of the "antique" cars will be the 60 70's muscle cars and the cars that will be impacted are your "ricers" So now they are discriminating against cars instead of colors? MA is messed up, first legalizing that crap now they are gonna enforce this, glad I...

that's so sad, this is why the US barely got a medal this past olympic. NBA has ruined American basketball by idolizing "stars" instead of team game. 81 points by 1 guy in a basketball game?? so did the other 4 guys on the court do? sip margeritas? Going back to watch College basketball.
