ON THIS ONE TOO

If you want to build a 'clone' you need to do it all.

Including the flares.

It's surprising how well the early C4's do in A stock even today. I usually run a miata in CSP, but because of a problem with my hand decided to try my '87 auto w/116k miles for an event last saturday here in gulf coast region scca. Here at gulf coast we run on a postage stamp-sized lot and the car was 3rd overall (my co-driver's time) and yesterday we ran in New Orleans, where it got top pax for open tires. This for a basically stock, 22 year old car running hoosiers, Z52 suspension. With tweaked shocks and a good alignment it would be a great car without alot of drama.
