    ZHP VS Civic Type R's

    I attended my first autocross this year. I came in third with 2 new Civic Type R's taking 1st and 2nd.

    I only have Koni FSD shocks and an M3 rear end. My old ZHP still has it!

    I felt bad they spent so much on a fwd car, so I let them win.

    If you have an M3 differential in your car, you should not be in GS. Car is illegal for that class with the diff.

    A new Civic Type R should smoke an E46 at autox. They're no joke.

    Good to know. I'm new to this and this is what my brief, lazy research gave me.

    What class should I be in?

    I think it would be STX or possibly SM. Pretty sure any diff is legal in STX.

    Any diff, as long as you keep the stock ratio.

    Have driven and ridden in CTRs... no joke. That car is more than the sum of it's parts and just as engaging as any BMW I've ever driven...
    WUTCONE?

    It isn't. Adding an LSD is, but changing the final drive ratio is not.
