It's been about 35 years since I tripped the timers on an autocross course, but I kinda want to do it again. My 9K is hardly the ideal weapon to attack the cones, but I don't have another ride and have no delusions of placing well. It's just for fun... and with a little luck, to maybe surprise some folks in the sedan class. ;-)
The car is reasonably prepared. It's my '96 CSE with JZW Stage 1 tune, a Sachs Sport Chassis and SAS bars. The suspension has 30K on it. The engine mounts are good: one solid, one stock on the bottom; one stock, one poly up top. Tranny mount is poly, too. So are the control arm bushes. All the mounts and bushings are under a year old. Alignment is stock and don't want to change it for just a couple of autocrosses.
Tires are 205/60x16 Bridgestone RE960AS. Have used them on the track and in driving school and they are OK, not fantastic. Decent feel, controlled breakaway, predictable. Do well in the wet if it's a rainy day.
Any hints/tips on tire pressures with this set-up? Want to avoid understeer but not get tail-happy. At a driving school with a figure 8 and skip pad a couple years back the car was pretty neutral with about 5-6 pounds difference front to rear. I'm thinking something like 42/37, but any input is welcome.
Any other thoughts?
TIA.
