I'll post here what I posted there. Basically what I have suspected all along. The TSX is just too big and heavy for the tight turns in autocross. The TSX is more suited to an open race track with longer sweeping turns and that is where I think its great chassis and suspension would really shine. For autocross you want to be as small and as light as possible ... like a go-cart.
The TSX also needs a thicker rear sway and an LSD!

However I do agree that the rear sway bar sucks. I'm hoping to save enough soon to have it replaced.

Those results look pretrty good to me. 47.3 seconds which would be 1.5 sec better with good tires. I understand it may not be well suited to autocross but it beat a Mini Copper S and a Mustang, thats pretty impressive IMO.
