Things like welding your strut tower brace are only going to make things harder for you in the long run and they don't provide any improvement in times at all... so don't waste your time with it.

I actually decided to scrape the whole idea, well after losing my job for the holidays and just seemed not to good of an idea after a while.

but I will take your advice in, autocrossing is a whole different level then what I have experienced in the past. And everyone is willing to help everyone else

Thank you for the advice man, I'm not going to do much more to the car except change the transimission to a manual, because the auto has maybe 5,000 miles left in it. LOL
