wilwood 12 inch big brake kit front*
Neon rear disc swap*

Hey Aaron. We can help put those chassis mods to work. 8)

The nearest PDX events are held by our neighbors in St. Louis Region SCCA. By all accounts, they are running one of the flagship SCCA PDX programs in America at their local Gateway road course.

OMRSCCA has a full slate of autocrosses (or "Solo2" events) this year. They are an affordable way to build car control experience, have fun, and meet a lot of people involved in motorsports. We have a number of drivers around here who both autocross and road race.

Hopefully we'll see you at some events this year.

Given the forced induction system on a N/A factory car, that would place you in Street Modified (SM).

The rules dictating that class can be found on page 99 of the rule book (page 112 of the PDF document).
