Tuning Car for Autocross/Drift (flamesuit on)
OK, after several months of attempting to sell my Turbo Vert I have decided that it is worth more to me to keep it. So I am. I am going to set it up to swap between Autocross and drift events here locally.
The current setup is as follows:
Racing beat springs and anti-sway bars
Megan Racing Strut tower bars
S5 turbo and wastegate
(retained the 6 port motor)
Racing beat downpipe
HKS BOV w/ custom uppipe
Stock IC
Stock T2 manifolds w/ port match modification
T2 fuel pump
T2 injectors
T2 ECU and MAF
T2 CAS
s5 t2 Front cover
My main question is how/what should I do to the suspension to keep it competitive on both circuts? I am looking at 5 way adjustable Tokico Ulluminas and perhaps some camber plates. Any ideas??
Attached are the pictures of the car.... Anyways thanks for the help.

Not related to your suspension question- but when I talked with several friends who auto/rallycross around here about the possibilities of running my 'vert (when I get it running -_-;; ) they said I'd almost certainly have to have a rollbar installed to be able to run with the a convertible (even if our tops- when up- should provide sufficient protection).

I envy you on the turbo vert though, it's something I'm considering doing down the line- but I figure just getting mine running with its original NA engine should come first. :P
