The Next Warhorse: 1993 Mustang LX Autocross Build

[Warhorse Racing]

Appreciate the info and I've already started to watch some of your videos on Youtube. I am trying to figure out classing and with the factory weight of the 80 foxbody I may be stuck in CAM-S unless I can add weight or things already done have added enough weight as from what I've gathered the car should have been 2800 pounds from the factory.

I hope the videos are helpful. Based on your Welcome New Members post, the car might fit best in CAM due to the previous mods. In that case, getting an accurate starting weight is a good idea. It's not hard to add 100 lbs. of suspension/bracing/rims & tires to these cars, so you might not have to add much additional weight to be CAM-T legal. Planning mods with a target weight in mind really helped me explore all the different options for Apocalypso.

So far, I’ve removed 293.4 lbs. from my 1993 2.3L Mustang autocross car. Several of the weight reduction mods I have planned are pretty pricey, so I’m making as many free & inexpensive mods as possible.

I don’t need cruise control to attack the cones, so I’m taking it out of Apocalypso.

This video covers how I removed the cruise control components & provides an accurate weight for the parts that came out of my car.

I’ve already taken 297.1 lbs. out of Apocalypso. My 1993 2.3L Mustang is getting lighter, but I still need to pull out over 200 lbs. to reach my 500 lb. weight loss goal. My quest to remove free & inexpensive weight has brought me behind the dashboard to take out the firewall sound deadening & the A/C evaporator core.

This video shares some tips for removing those parts, details the problems I ran into & provides an accurate weight for everything that came out of the car.

That's awesome. A friend of mine has been trying to talk me into Autocross for years. He runs a 370Z and a WRX. I finally bought a helmet so I can meet at least the base requirements. Your post / videos have moved me further along the 'Yes, I should' decision cycle.

Keep them coming. These are great.

Thanks! I'm really glad my videos are helpful. I hope you decide to attend an event soon. Your first event can be a little overwhelming, but it's always fun.

I'm already preparing the next weight reduction project for Apocalypso!
