Not an owner... but Hello!
« on: December 28, 2010, 10:05:08 AM »
Hi Kappa Performance.  I found this site searching for information to help prep my Sister's 2008 GXP for autocross.  I've been active for several years with Mazdas and BMWs in Solo events, but (other than competing against Solsti in C-Stock) have very little experience with Kappa setup.  Hopefully Little Sis' will let me drive the GXP once in a while!

Welcome aboard, the properly set up GXP in the hands of a good driver is a nice little sled.

Thanks for the welcome.  I did find that autox setup thread, and it was very helpful.  It's great to have that info so well organized and easy to find.

Welcome to the forum iaus10!  With your participation with Mazdas and BMWs in Solo events and competing against the Solstice, you have some familiarity with the Kappa's.  They have been strong in competition in their class.  Hope your sister will let you drive her pride and joy as well.  Look forward to your post after getting to drive your sisters GXP.
