i want to get and se-r and set it up for autocross. does anyone have any good suggestions on what mods are best for this type of racing?
Its sound s like your are having a ball in your spec congratulations we run with nasa rules for time trials and use the same rules for some road racing I’m actually racing in F class which is one class up from the original starting class for a ga16de engine but because of the mods I ended up in F class after a first year championship in G class and the good thing about nasa rules is that they are not as hard as scca rules and are more open to mods but it is a good idea to start racing as simple as possible like as much stuck as you can so you gain car control and stuff.Jess_Spec_V said:Im a little late replying to this post.
BUT, I have been racing this season with my spec v. I have won in my class but I have raced in different classes during the season. I am a beginner but Ive learned a little. Is this an SE R or SE R SPEC V? Staying in stock class is probably best especially if you are a beginner. I have found that the stock classes tend to be pretty competitive as there are minimal upgrades permitted. You can have r compound tires (probably the most helpful thing and my next purchase), intake and exhaust, and I believe struts. So far, I have been racing completely stock and am very happy with the performance.
Before doing anything to the car, race it as is and see how you feel....upgrading does not always benefit you. If it is a spec v, you will be in d stock and if its a regular se r, it will be in g stock. first do everything all the upgrades allowed to remain in your stock class, the more you have done in a lower class, the more competitive you will be.

I'm not into doing competitions but love to be somewhat competitive with other drivers of different makes (BMW, Audi, etc.) The car holds up well for the autoxing but we'll see how the next track weekend goes. I'll be watching my brakes closely and decide if an upgrade is needed at that point.
