who is your sanctioning body? Or is this self ran? Is it a time attack-time trial format or is it wheel to wheel racing? What is the minimum weight off track with driver?
86 cup is a brilliant idea....but there are SO many vendors making so many different products it will be hard to pin down a specific set of approved parts to define a 86cup class that is similar to Spec E30 or Spec Miata currently the two largest "inexpensive" race series.....both are sponsored by NASA and SCCA nationally....
My thoughts are keep it STOCK STOCK STOCK....why, stock is reliable and reliable is CHEAP....simple wheel tire combo is 225 with an easily available tire (toyo offers great deals) brake pad-fluid-line upgrades only...simple shock-spring set with ajdustable sway bars so drivers can tune the car to their liking....engine totally stock with just a cat bypass and race style exhaust that can make sound even at Laguna style 92db tracks.... I would say NO aero allowed, to even things out and keep it cost effective... In wheel to wheel spec series you want it about the drivers, not who has the largest checkbook....
The biggest challenge will be defining the rule set.....since many people are building their own "track" cars with a million different parts combos so many pre built cars are gonna be pissed that theirs doesn't fit.... Another great idea to minimize costs is a reasonable dyno limit.....it seems most cars dyno at most 170whp near stock....use this or whatever is reasonable to keep full blueprint built to the limit engines from having an advantage....
