It was too slick to take advantage of the new sway bar, and the car still desperately needs a proper differential, but it was a good time at round 2 of winter auto-x at Road America. One more session March 7th to go. Many thanks to Kuhlgelblitz for coming out and catching the action.

Since round 2 of racing is Saturday I figured I better get the rear bar installed. Hoping this makes for a big reduction in understeer.

Pro tip: When you have a heated shop, make sure you have no room to pull in and use it.

Results are in and I landed 10th overall in my class. For not being on track in 14 years, in a mostly stock car I've never raced, I'm pretty pleased.

On track 2, which was more open/sweeping I landed 31/112 total cars. The fact this little egg can mix it up with AWD and RWD platforms is pretty rad.

It almost looks like I’m fast.

Running winter Autocross at Road America today. The car feels really capable, and I might have to see how it does on track this summer after a few more changes.

I'm not dead, just haven't done much that felt worth sharing lately. I've been toying around with the Fiesta ST and 2500HD when I can. Hoping to be back at it on the F100 and posting updates soon. Life is busy these days.

I'm struggling with what drivetrain to run in the Loadstar. The truck originally came with an IH 345 gas engine.

5.9 Cummins/Allison - $$$ and takes up a decent chunk of front cab/floor space. But I love diesel torque and diesel noises.

8.1 Votec/Allison - $$ but a HOG on fuel for OK power, but I still get the Allison trans I love.

6.0 L96/6L90 - They're EVERYWHERE and I can get a whole donor truck for a couple grand. Still better displacement and power than original, but no Allison.

I'm sure the 6.0 would be plenty for my needs, but there's a cool factor to the other choices, though the cool factor is mostly on the outside of the truck. What would YOU pick if it was your build?

Needed a tool to make my house project easier, couple minutes of design work and a good friend to print it up later and I’m in business.
