So contemplating doing the suspension next year and want to accumulate parts. Knowing that vintage wants you to stay true to period what is the max we can do for suspension goodies? Lets call it SVRA rules as they seem to be the strictest....
Bushings, strut inserts, sways, torsion bars, etc. What are you guys willing to.share on setup? I will be running a 2.4 ltr. |

...and all this rules blah blah blah is why I run with vintage/historics groups that don't give a damn. This is supposed to be a fun demonstration activity, not a re-enactment of the 24 hours of Daytona from 1973!
Arguing over whether a tie-bar is compliant to half-a-century-old rulesset? Seriously? I get enough of that rules argumentatation with SCCA stuff. This is supposed to be fun, dammit! |

This is supposed to be fun, dammit! @GregAmy I agree with you BUT there are scrutineers that will ruin your day over the shape of a fender flare. Personally I think you should be able to build your car to the highest standard of the vintage period which is usually IMSA. Twin plug was an option on Porsches of the time and the 914-6 GT was legal in SCCA B-Production in 1971. |
