automatically e-mod?
ok, i have a race car that im building, and im wondering what my class is going to be. im guess e-mod, but maybe i can get away without going there. (talking scca autox rules). i dont have a copy or link to a rule book, but could someone help me out?
1985 rx7 motor- -1986 merkur 2.3t engine -manual boost controller -4" pipe upper intake manifold (for intercooler piping) -front mount intercooler -14" electric fan (dont know if this matters, but the merkur had an electric fan stock) -big VAM from turbocoupe suspension -eibach pro kit -1985 gslse suspension (front and rear) tires -dont know what im going to run as of now, probably stock rims with sumitomo htr200's misc. -the motor and tranny are on solid motor mounts -battery located in the back -no interior -4pt racing harness -boost/a/f gauges (dont think they matter -walbro 255 fuel pump thats all i can think of right now. but im thinking the engine swap is goign to out class me like crazy. i read somewhere that engine swaps from different manufactures are automatically e-mod, is this true? |
Sure, the engine will put you in E-mod. I recommend picking up a rule book. If it's the cash you're worried about, better stop the car right now as the class you're stepping into has a pretty hefty price tag associated with it. 1500 lb minimum weight (and plenty of cars carrying ballast to be there), open suspension, [essentially] open engine. Good luck man.
Sounds like a pretty sick little car you're working on though! |
Much of the stuff you are doing will allow you to be in a street prepared class. Even with the interior removed, you could still run in prepared. The engine swap totally screws you.
It sounds like a fun car for the local races. If you want to compete with the big boys, this won't get it done. |
Double post. Not my fault........stupid computer

Welcome to my world. I've been in E-mod for 6 months now. On the local level so far I've won the two SCCA races I've been to, but nationally I have no chance in hell. But then again, I didn't build my car to compete in SCCA SoloII, so I'm not really crying over it. It's just fun to show up in a butt ungly RX-7 with a surprise under the hood.

thanks for the help guys. im in no way worried about national levels, just local for fun.
