any adjustments needed for AutoX?
Im taking my 1987 944 n/a to an autocross in a few weeks (first time) and was wondering if there were any adjustments that can/should be made to the suspension for competing in AutoX. The car is 100% stock, so I dont know if anything is adjustable or not.

You can adjust camber and toe-in at each corner, plus caster at front wheels. Dave's comment is right on, if you're just starting get some seat time first... later on you'll find the limits of your setup, if it's understeering or oversteering and whatnot, and you can make adjustments to make it suit your driving better.
I personally love to tinker with stuff like this even though I know I'm not even using 100% of what I have now, so if you want, you could try getting some extra negative camber, like -1..-1.5 degrees all around, front caster to maximum (about three degrees) and toe-in to 0 all around (or maybe even just a bit of toe-out up front to make the car turn in a bit sharper, might be a bit pain in the *** on the street though) ...
