Hey Folks,

I bought this car about 4 months ago and I've been out to a few events in stock form. It's a 2015 Q60s Limited (Which replaced the IPL, which I think is about the same except badge, ecu and body kit) either way, it's a BLAST to drive on a closed course!

So far I'm still on stock tyres, but I have installed SPL front camber arms and am working on the alignment to get a nice balance, which is where I believe I am almost at. Next is Hotchkis front sway bar and then taking care of cooling and stopping mods, plus decent rubber, before heading out to play with the big boys on a real road course without these pesky traffic cones!

Good stuff!! I have a buddy that autocrosses his VW Golf. He's been asking me to participate, but I want to get a few things done before going out there.

Why wait? Autocross is not physically demanding on a car the way a track day is. My car is stock and I've also autocrossed in standard Mitsubishi Lancer hatch, Suzuki Swift, Honda Accord, Honda Integra, Datsuns, Toyota's, corvettes, and others I'm sure I forget.

The best thing you can do is simply do it! It doesn't cost much and the worst you could do is just not enjoy it, in which case you know before you spend money on the car

I wonder if NJ has autocross!? I know we have 1/4 mile tracks but never heard of a plave with autocross. I'm sure there's places in Pennsylvania that might. I'll have to look into it and take off the Vossens if I do decide to take it out for a nice spring/summer day lol

The main reasons why I haven't done so is that this car is second-hand and my daily driver. I've only had her for ~3 years and I don't yet know what may fail. I'm slowly replacing most of the typical things that break.

That's a shame Shuura. I'm sure your car will be A-ok, autocross is no harder than driving spiritedly on the street. In fact, probably easier because the course is usually only 30-70s long. My car is second hand and I had it on the 'track' 6 days after taking delivery

Kenny, check out the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) they run Solo (autocross) programs all over the country and I'm sure plenty of car nuts live in NJ that want to get out with their cars.

Quick google found me this:
AutoX4U.com | Everything Autocross in NJ, NY, & PA
Northern New Jersey SCCA | AutoX4U.com
