Spec Ft86 racer in the future?
well I officially sold my previous race car!!! I have a year left on the lease of my FRS then intend to turn it into a "spec" FT86 racer!!!
The trick is working with major sanctioning bodies (NASA-SCCA) to come up with an acceptable parts list that makes a spec racer!
My thoughts are keep as much stock as possible to reduce costs? The biggest issues to address are shocks-springs-swaybars and brakes. After that is exhausts and minimum weight, ride height, width, wheels +tires
I know Spec Miata and Spec E30 tend to run bilstein shocks, and I am not opposed to this. However an upgrade to coilovers like the PSS systems might be worth it? I also like adjustable top hats like ground control for better alignment adjustments.
BRAKES: I think keep stock calipers, lines, rotors, fluid and pads are free. Master cylinder brace is acceptable too
Wheels-tires. I say stock 17x7 or 17x8 with a minimum weight rule,like the others. Tires should be 225/45-17 R comps, brand to be determined? I am not opposed to even a high performance street tire for cost reaons?
More later
