Figure I'll throw this out there for people who haven't read the 2016 rules.
NASA has increased the minimum competition weight (car + driver, measured immediately after you come off track) again for 2016. Year -- Comp Weight 2014 - 2775 lbs. 2015 - 2885 lbs. 2016 - 2940 lbs. So, if you are competing in TTD-B classes you will need to take points if your car with you in it is lighter than 2940 lbs (or add ballast). While I think these weight increases were unnecessary, these are the rules. That said, I'm looking forward to competing in TT4 next year (planned weight/power ratio of 12.0whp/1lbs) when they introduce the new class. I'm prepping for it this year and will most likely end up running in TTB, even though I'll probably be quite under powered. |

I really don't think dyno reclass is the way to go with this car, especially for TTD. Best build in my opinion is: 5pt exhaust (header/fp/catback) 5pt decent coilover (like KW V2 or something) 6pt 225 Hoosier R7 2pt BBK or diffuser maybe 1pt Clutch type LSD 0pt E85 tune and lots of bushings |

There's more to dyno reclassing than peak horsepower.
If you're serious about competing, schedule a consult with me, and I can show you the light. |

I, for one, would like to see this thread succeed where the other one failed.
My name is Chase and I am really hoping to go through the NASA HPDE licensing program this year and hopefully race in TTD. I have done quite a lot of reading with regards to classing rules so I am really excited about see how everything turns out! I look forward to learning and sharing in this thread!

I was able to get my car (not including me) down to around 2600lbs while leaving the interior completely stock. My lightweight mods include: Removing trunk junk - about 40lbs. Lighter wheels (Enkei RPF-1) - about 16lbs Essex Sprint BBK - about 20lbs. Driveshaft Shop Carbon Fiber DS - around 13lbs. ACT Pro-lite Clutch and flywheel - around 12 lbs. Shorai 5lbs. battery - around 20lbs. So that's about 120lbs right there from the car and you can get another 20 pretty easily by moving to a lighter cat back from the stock one. When you want to remove even more than that, take a look at @Anthony build thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42284 |

My name is Faber - 2013 BRZ Limited - NASA Central.
Car currently has too many points, would be in TTC.... debating how much money or time I want to spend to make it back to TTD before this season. This will be my first NASA season. Plans for Spring: 4.56 Final Drive swap Maybe 4 Point Roll bar w/ seat/harness/hans Maybe 17x8 w/ R Comps Current Parts Combo: (Finish while I am not at work) |
