A car/engine combination for autoX is going to be a very different beast to one built for tracks days, yes you can do both with one car but each will be a huge compromise so it all depends on how serious you're taking it.
Just Oughtta Curiosity....

Yes so what do you suggest?IJ.;1573505 said:
AutoX car will need to be very nimble and change direction really well so low end response needs to be "snappy" and the chassis will be set up so the car is "looser" due to mass of a Mk3 you'll probably be sliding it a lot to make it turn quickly.
A track car will probably be the opposite of the above as any sliding will destroy tires quickly and more top end from the engine will be needed.... very different set ups as I said, somewhere in the middle will be okish for both but you're going to have your ass handed to you by a well set up lesser car on either track.

Its the difference of setting up a top speed mile car to a 1/8 mile racer.
AutoX is very short track, usually only use one or two gears. A road course track will use likely all gears and have a few high speed straights.

Surprised no one has mentioned the 1uz yet, lighter and no turbo lag. Or is it just between the inline 6's?
