Default Newb check-in from Colorado
Hi,

I did a noob check-in in the wrong area but figured i'd do it right and post here too.

I live in Colorado Springs and love tracking this car. It's 99 10AE w/hardtop. I love it. Looking forward to learning new things and finding other people that enjoy pushing their cars on the track too.

I like 10AEs. Welcome to the forum.

What are your plan for the car? Current modifications?

Plan is to track it as much as I can. Currently working my way through NASA HPDE so I can participate in NASA Time trials.

What spring rates are you running with the AFCOs? I'm at 550/350 currently with my Bilsteins for track duty on my '96, but I know the 10AE is a heavier car.

I still get plenty of body roll with mine, even with FM sways front and rear. Check out my build thread for recent pics from track day at Homestead showing body movement.
