Circuit Race Car Potential ?
I have introduced myself already, have a Ecoboost 2.3 engine and the accompanying auto and am looking for a suitable project car to welcome them. The Crossfire's under 2500 kg weight is good, the chassis is said to be stiffened up from its Mercedes origins, I like the suspension design it's not outdated as some say but needs more front caster and there are big brake kits available. On the maybe down side the steering is apparently a bit dead but more caster or a rack and pinion conversion? may fix that, the different front to rear wheel sizes are a no-no and in Australia Crossfire specific parts are difficult and body kits impossible to find.
That's all for the moment, any relevant tips, advice, links that may help the decision making process would be appreciated, assume that I know the basics and have done project cars previously. There are no restrictive rules on modifications applicable so what is practical and financially sensible goes. Cheers, Richard.
