AutoX/Road race in a dart??
Autoxcuda here. My website http://hometown.aol.com/pwall5/cars/2cudapag.html is down due to aol dumping all it web hosting.
My current setup listed below. Future plans (if money falls out of the sky) for some bigger T-bars, front and rear 275/40/17 tires on 17x9's, 13" ARE disks with brembo calipers, brake ducts...
Now some of the parts are not the most perfect for their duty. But 75% of this stuff was bought used at swap meets and junk yard. For instance, if I bought a new rear sway bar it would be a Firm Feel or new Helwig adjustable. But I got my rear sway bar for $35 used.
I don't think you need a rack conversion or a tubular k-member to get started. The fastest Mopar we had at Spring Fling Speed Festival 07 was a 68 Valiant with stock K-member, leaf springs, recirculating ball steering box.
Yes the Valiant's trick, but not fancy magazine stuff. He was faster than the Vipers, but he does have lots of road course experiance. He has a 8 point cage and subframe connectors that makes his chassis stiff. 1.24 t-bars, welded spool 73-76 k-member, Firm Feel tubular upper control arms, 13 ARE Brembo calipers, 275/40/17 on 17x9's, accusump, forgot his sway bar and rear spring setups.
This is 71Autoxr's Challenger behind the Valiant. He's been out each year to the all Mopar track days we have in conjunction with Spring Fling.
