[QUOTE="fiveo'cobra, post: 2499027, member: 23893"] You don't really need anything to autocross. Road racing is a different story; the reason being that you usually have a few 20 min- 1 hour long sessions and that is a real beating when you're going flat out. In an autocross, the runs are a minute long at maximum so its not really an obstacle for your forged shortblock. You have about 10 min in between runs depending on how big your group is so that gives you plenty of time to pop the hood or fan out the engine etc. There are ghetto tricks you can use to keep engine temps down if your car isn't modified for higher cooling such as brining a leaf blower and blowing out the engine bay in between runs or bringing some sort of pesticide squirter filled with water and spraying down your radiator etc. Brakes wise all you need is a good set of pads and you're set there; no big deal. As far as using up tires like they're gas, thats not entirely true. Yes in an autox you aren't exactly sunday driving but their longevity is really up to you. Just don't enter turns too fast and plow with the fronts and on exit get on it easy as to not oversteer and spin them until you have a better feel for corner exit speed. I started autoxing with my cobra a couple years ago and one of my fellow mustang buddies was even nice enough to let me borrow his victoracers for a day to try them out. Tires are deffinatley one of the top 5 things you need out there. [/QUOTE]
