    Andy, I PMed you. I also didn't realize how good the stock suspension is in heavy rain / standing water. Not a competitive group but me and co-driver paxed 1st & 3rd out of 48 this weekend: http://www.ubcscc.com/events/2013/sept29/i.txt I'm very happy with this car... specially for our weather.

    I was considering the K-sport, based on it's popularity but noticed that they come with really soft springs rates (280/170) and to replace them with heavier springs would probably cost the same as the fiesta B-spec coil overs... they come with stiffer springs out of the box 450/500. I'm neither...

    Do you have a link? Or better yet, do you sell them? I read somewhere that they cost over 2K and with my budget and level of driving, they wouldn't be an option. The ford coil overs are one of the stiffer ones out there and I'm still curious if they would fit our cars?

    So I've made the decision of going to STF directly. I ordered the adjustable tri-point RSB and a pair of camber bolts. Next I'm looking at the shocks / coil over options. Do these fit on our cars and would they be a good option...

    Did my first autocross in the 2 this weekend... I had a big smile on my face the whole day! Had good improvements through out the day but could have used a few more runs to learn the car better. 2nd/9 in RTF and 19th / 71 overall. I could have benefited from a rear sway bar. I think my plan is...

    So I have my first two Autox coming up in the next two weeks, I bought the TRM C1 wheels and ZII tires for now but will probably get a more dry appropriate tire + UL / Enkei later. This should be enough to keep me entertained for the next nine winter events and keep me in RTF HS. Coilovers and...

    Looks like a lot of fun Andres! I've only been to a few NT events... maybe in a few years I'll make the trip!

    Thanks for the tips Andy! I'll have to get under the car to figure out the cats. We have had to deal with noise restrictions of 89db at our local pad so I have to be extra careful with the exhaust. I used to run the 8 without a muffler and just an L-pipe right out of the cat... on a dry day i...

    I've been autocrossing for 8-9 years now but haven't been as active lately and have been mid-packing. I'll consider STF... didn't realize the 2 was more competitive there... but come to think of it I saw Andy Hollis win STF at NT a couple of years ago (then again he is Andy Hollis). I've got...

    Good to know! But is the front roll so much that upgrading the FSB would show an improvement? Or is it just going to cause more understeer? I wonder if anyone has tried both and can share their experience.

    A/C delete shouldn't be illegal based on the Canadian models. I basically got the base model with the A/C package and the only reason was that they didn't have a base model without A/C in the province and they would have had to bring me one from elsewhere. In stock classes, as long as you make...

    Hi folks, I traded in my 06 CS RX8 for a Mazda 2 last night and I'm already loving it... Plan is to autocross this in RTF - HS. I've got a lot of reading to do but here is my plan so far: -TRMotorsport C1 wheels...
