    Hello, I'm Jay. I've been lurking here for a few months but figure I should introduce myself as I'm getting to the point where my questions are no longer easily answered by the search option. Yeah, I'm one of those people that actually searches first...

    I Live in Washington state and I'm competing in the Northwest Region's SCCA Solo championship. At this time I am ranked #9 of 41 for the championship. My car is a 2001 GT with a host of suspension upgrades.

    I specifically sought out an naturally aspirated car so please don't bother to tell me that NA's aren't worth modding or that I need to top swap asap. If I wanted a supercharger I would have bought one.

    I am new to W-bodies but Have had several 3800 cars in the past, mostly H-bodies and 1 U-van.

    This is Kaisa, my '01 GT:

    the leader is in an STI. the rest are mostly Miatas and BRZ twins. I'm very out classed.

    The mods are pretty simple. Eibachs over AGX's, GMPP sways and STBs, Moog LCAs with spherical bushings and rod ends. Doorman tubular trailing arms. 2 inch spring rubbers in the rear. Uner the hood it's a K&N in the stock airbox, a PLOG and a ZZP U-bend delete. It's really pretty basic. most of it is technique, skill and a little bit of crazy.

    Oh yeah, and these:

    Won't fit inside those wheels. SSEi upgrade is the largest that will fit and i've already got it.

    Just ignore them.

    Blame this website and the way it's setup with google/ads and other junk. It's not been updated in a while and still running a slightly older Vbulletin. Like the bargin bin bot that is on here will post stuff on the internet that has already ended in a bidding or posts stupid other junk nobody cares about. Since the owner of this website passed away we really don't know what will become of this place after 2017.

    Do you have any body roll with those suspension mods, or is it pretty tight in the corners?

    I wouldn't mind seeing some videos.
