Wondering if anyone here has run their R in STX. If so, parts suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I'd love to, but my upgraded Haldex controller has me stuck in SM.:banghead:Wondering if anyone here has run their R in STX. If so, parts suggestions are greatly appreciated.
If I were you I'd paint it silver and call it OEMI'd love to, but my upgraded Haldex controller has me stuck in SM.:banghead:
I was trying to not sound pompous in my first post, but I feel it's worth pointing out that I'm a top 20-30 overall guy when in a reasonably prepped car. That's out of 130-150 drivers usually. Even with my car as is (intake, tune, wheels, tires, terrible ceramic brakes installed by previous owner) I finished top three out of 7 or so drivers in STX. Just looking for the suspension mods people ran, so thanks a ton for this post- where did you find your V3's, and how are they for the road? Strut bar? Do they even make those?I run my R in STX as much as possible and i'm fairly competitive at a regional level (normally top 1/3 or so in PAX all depends on who else is there :laugh
18x8 OZ Ultraleggeras
235/40/18 Bridgestone RE11s
KW V3s
Evoms stage 2 intake
UM NA Race tune
Autotech Adjustable 22mm RSB - Set on stiffest setting
Adjustable Lower Rear Control Arms
Adjustable RSB Endlinks
Slotted Rotors w/ EBC Red stuff brake pads - Seems to work alright for me
HPA Short Shifter with 42DD shift bushings
VF Motor Mounts/Dogbone Mount - Although i'm pretty sure these aren't technically legal in STX as it has to do with the metal/rubber ratio of the mount. I think the Dog bone mount is fine though.
First thing i'd get is some nice light weight wheels and good tires which will make the biggest difference and go from there. If my car was completely dedicated to autox i'd love to get some 17x8s and 245 tires and shed some weight with exhaust/brake combo, and get some custom spring rates done on the car but its/I'm not to that point yet.
Just go out there and drive and have some fun!
Hahha.. ohh it just sounded like you had never done autox before. My Mistake.. :laugh:I was trying to not sound pompous in my first post, but I feel it's worth pointing out that I'm a top 20-30 overall guy when in a reasonably prepped car.

That would be meThere is another guy that runs his R32 down here who has competed and done well on a national level. I don't have any specific spring rates/shock valving on his setup but I believe its a custom ohlin setup and i know he runs some suspension spacers to keep the car sitting up higher at just about a stock height. I might be able to ask him about it next weekend at our next event.
If you did the controller you'd be in DSPi run my MKV R in STX, I did the walk kit, (LCA bushings) and have done haldex as others have mentioned.
