Hello everyone!
My name is Mat and I live in Central Texas. I am an Autocrosser, but I also like working on cars/motorcycles, etc. I've got an LS1 swapped S13 coupe and I am co-driving a 1974 260Z in F-Prepared this year. I have been racing a C5 Corvette in B-Street for the last two years, but I sold the Corvette recently.
Recently picked up a Fraser Sports Racer from up north (Chicago). I don't know too much about it, but it is a Lotus 7/Caterham type chassis with a De Dion rear suspsion. It was originally built with a Toyota 4AGE, but the PO swapped in a 2004 YZF-R1 drivetrain. The engine started knocking after a track day, and he sold it to me. I replaced the engine and have been able to drive it at two autocrosses so far this year. It is really fast and entertaining to drive, but it has some very old SM7 tires so it's not very grippy.
It will need some re-working to be setup well for autocross, which is why I'm here - to learn as much as I can.
The car was built in 1992 by Fraser, who is still around! The car came with some cool documentation (emails, etc). I'll try to put together a history of the car sometime. It had a couple of really cool liveries and I'm sort of mad that someone decided to make it Ronald MacDonald colors.
