Here's a pic of the 87 LX 5.0 that I've been helping my boss build for AutoX.

Power is stock, except for a BBK intake and cat-back exhaust... Interior has been stripped of all extra weight but still appears almost stock ('cept the race seats and harnesses)... King Cobra clutch and B&M shifter help get power to the wheels, along with a different rear end ratio (don't remember the number)... Riding on Ford Racing lowering springs and Koni shocks... 5-bolt conversion and Hawk HPS pads slow it down, with Toyo RA1's keeping grip through the corners... The "body kit" is a custom job, but I don't know anything else about it.


My car is an 89 BMW 325is that's also built for AutoX, but I won't get into the details unless anyone wants to know about it.

As for performance, we run in the same class under Motorsport Club of Ottawa rules, he is 3rd in class and 12th overall, I'm 5th in class and 17th overall, though both of us have missed an event or 2.

that fox has a funky body kit, but looks good :thumb1:
nice cars :4:

 

cool, you guys ever go at er head to head?? lol just kidding :teeth:

 

nice lookin cars!


keep up the good work!

 

so your tellin me that a stang "Riding on Ford Racing lowering springs and Koni shocks... 5-bolt conversion and Hawk HPS pads slow it down, with Toyo RA1's keeping grip through the corners" is better in the twisties then an oldschool bimmer built for autocross? i though it was u guys that should be able to handle and we go fast strait. nice cars either way...just the sideskirts dont do it for me...looks like running boards of a truck missing the middle.

the 5.0's front bumper looks like it came off a ford taurus SHO the side effects look slick nice car :4:

 

Well first off, he's a far more experienced driver than myself, second, he has track tires vs. my street tires, and third, his car has 130k kms less wear on the tranny (mine has issues)... despite all this, I'm always within a second or less of his times, including one event where the difference was 0.001 seconds... gimme a year or 2 to solve all the bugs in my car (and my driving) and I'll be taking him by 2 seconds on any given course.
