So I'm sitting here at work and can't stop thinking about what it would look like to build a no holds barred 10/10ths DSP Solo II car.
If you were to build it how would you do it? Suspension Koni sports or some UBER expensive Moton or JRZ shocks 16" kodiak or other light ass rims Coil overs and stiffer front Torsion bars Front sway (big) Chris Foley's delrin suspension bushings. Engine 2.0L with as much compression as possible SDS or Haltech Individual throttle bodies Lightened flywheel 6 puc clutch balance porting with in the rules. Tangerine, complete Mallory ignition or compatable with EFI Interior including seats Got to have a back pad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) But Fiberglass shell seats like a Momo EVO or something. Guess carpet and sound pads on the floors. Body with or without roll bar????? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Engman kit???? Early doors with all tar removed Early targa top. Can't figure out bumpers ????? |

Bumpers Yea, I am still tearing the rules apart looking for the loop holes. Damn thing is if doesn't say you can. THEN YOU CAN'T
Sometimes the rules are written with "intent" of to favor newer cars. This leave the 914 and others out hanging in the wind. and Bump steer spacers are specifically illegal. |

This leave the 914 and others out hanging in the wind. They're not written to favor new cars. They're written to even out the advantages for ALL cars. The SP rules are fundamentally unchanged (as they apply to the 914) from when they were introduced in the early 80's. And the 914 was anything but an "old" car then. The problem is that the rules were written with 80's technology in mind. They never immagined stuff like fully programable DFI engine management systems and VTEC, and electronically controlled boost regulators... The reason why some seemingly innocuous modications are illegal is that what is minor on one car, could be a competitive advantage on another... -Josh2 |
