Alright so I am picking up a 91 eclipse for a grand. I want to turn it into a autox or even (when I get my time behind the wheel) full track car. Now I need your guys help. I dont know what I need too make what I want. But here is what I am thinking of running.

Better brakes- still have one pots. Buddy said to run the corba brakes. But maybe I want something that will flip my car when I stop. And would viper brakes work?
I will be removing the front sway bar. And getting the upgraded rear. Will be putting on camber plates and not sure what coil overs. What do you guys think I should use. Engine will be putting about 300-400 hp. I'm looking for more tq then hp with a better tq curve. And some info on how too get better tq(cant do 2.3 or 2.4 yet) The rear end was just upgraded before the car sat for 3 years. It has some aftermarket 16" rims imo there junk. Will be picking up evo rims and wrap them in 235-45-17 nitto nt-01 or Potenza RE-11. Please throw your ideas and tell me what works for you.
 
Ok some new plains. Going with vr4 fronts and getting evo rims. Picking up my buddys head that he used for his 10 sec talon. What cams do I want for better torque and curve.
 
First thing I would do is read the SCCA/NASA rulebooks. What mods you have done will determine your class, both in Autocross and track racing. If you just start adding parts randomly, you will probably have a hard time being competitive until you max out your class (and get seat time, of course).
