I've been talking about it for a while, and I haven't really don't anything yet. But I've decide to build a auto cross car/street car. Now bear in mind I, like most of us, have a very Very tight budget. I'm thinking of starting on the power side of things but I need a tip on a place with cheap parts, that work. If anybody has spare parts, cheap mind you, let me know.

For autocross.... And a tight budget. I would suggest suspension cause thats the most important thing for autox. Save for some BC Coilovers

Have you picked a class yo want to run in? Because that is gonna dictate cost. Plus if you start doing power mods its gonna throw you in to a class you'll never be able to compete, if competing is even your goal.

oh noze........you could essentially run your car in a stock class( what I recommend before spending any money) for a couple events then decide if you want to choose another class. AutoX isn't my expertise but there are an ass load of rule for each class.
Here is a link to the 08 rules

what he said
all he had were shocks and r compound tires. raped everything that day.
autox will make u a better driver, drag racing can be won with just mods.
So i guess with the racing beat set up that came stock and a set of z rated michelin tires I should be alright, unfortunately I live in a rather small town and with the only decent track being bristol motor speedway and they do have a decent drag track, but they only have auto cross one or two days out of the summer. so i'll have to give that stock class a shot when it gets warmer.

Come to Danville, VA for our Novice school in April. It is a Friday evening classroom session, all day Saturday driving session, and Sunday is a club points event all wrapped into one weekend. I usually instruct, but I might have a work conflict this year.
