So first post (Flame suit).
I'm coming from a modified Rx8 that I started to autocross last year. It was NA but tuned (most bolt-ons) with suspension and 18x10 forgestar F14's 265/35's. I toyed with getting it turbo'd but decided I wanted something new/different. That car handled like a dream.
Anyways, my point is I have a 370z sport on order and I want to keep autocrossing. I heard a few things here and there as far as what I should look into modifying first etc. I've been reading non-stop for a few days now but I haven't seen much do's and don'ts in regards to suspension and offsets. So this is what I know...I was hoping you all could add to it so I know what needs to be addressed.
Tire size...The Rx8 requires a square setup. Same size offset and tires sizes on all four corners. The Z it seems based on a few members responses likes a slightly bigger tire in the back but what about offset? Should they be stock like while accomodating the larger tire sizes? What are the don'ts of offsets for racing? Yes I read the offset thread...what I got from that is what makes what look pretty. I don't believe in form without function.
Suspension...whats everyone running in stock class and are springs allowed. Sorry havent checked the rules yet. I'm eye balling the Swift springs since they have great spring rates.
Camber...seems we need camber arms in the front which goes in line with what a racer friend told me that the 370Z needs more camber in the front but would getting the camber arms kick you out of stock...I'd say yes.
Finaly...what class has a good amount of competition for the 370 but is not saturated?
