SkySheperds old Avenir swap and agx/gc combo is now mine! I will be shooting for a little less WHP (240ish) and more of a fun DD focus though I will def be autox as I have done 3 events in 2 months and love it!

This is exactly what I found out this weekend while autocrossing my VE-T P11. Though my turbo is also too lagy, but at least I had traction in second gear. But the next problem I had is with understeer and body roll. Basically the car was too powerful for FWD.

I'm thinking a VE might be a better choice, my friend has a Civic SI that ran much faster times that I did. After I VE the daily I guess I'll find out for sure

Alot of people have.

Id vote for a ve, nice bolt ons some cams and gears tuned for a broad torquey powerband.

A t25 spools so fast imho its not what,u want for autocross, alot of wheel spin even with good tires.

Thats just my assesment
