Results haven't been posted, so I can't tell you how I did compared to everyone else, but since I am a novice (only my 2nd time in an autocross), I am definitely not able to do this car justice. But regardless of that, I am still almost positive I will finish in the points for the race (top 20). The car was that good. It would be a monster with some R-compound rubber on it, no doubt. If you have a chance to run yours, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed.
 
you might want to look into adding some extra oil (.5 qts) to your car the next time you run it autocrossing? I understand oil starvation is a problem with our Protege5 motors but considering your car is turbo it may be something you need to look into?
 
all of the DISI engines have larger oil pans... they hold almost 6 quarts in fact

Let us know if you run again this year. Our autocrosses finished a few weeks ago due to weather, etc., so I can't run mine until next spring. I will look into new wheels and tires for autocrossing then.
