I currently run at houston sollo II autocross I was wondering I could convert from dependent to independent rear end I think It would help alot
any clues any one ???
So you could run SM? Wouldn't be worth if you could pull it off.
well what I was thinkin ( by the way sweet pic) was to cut the whole rear bar in 2 places about a foot from each tire about a 3 inch gap and replcae the gap with heavy load bearings . the real trick is the bearings
adn second how did you class your car
I run FSP because of the high flow catalytic converter and motor mounts. 2.2's are fsp, 2.4 and eco's are DSP.
Never thought of doing it that way. Everyone has always focused on grand am swaps. If you do go through with it (while it would be a very cool thing) you will end up in the street mod class. SM is a VERY hard class and it would take lots of money to be somewhat competitive (lots of boost, huge tires, light wheels, perfect suspension, just about every mod possible).
Ive sortta looked into it, and you would skip SM and go to E Mod by the looks of the rules. Not the best class for a rather stock cavy with a IRS swap.
The specific SM rules would be....
Suspension components are unrestricted as long as they use the
original attachment points. Brakes are unrestricted.
Subframe connectors are allowed, but each connector must be attached individually without any lateral components attaching the two longitudinal frame rails. Subframe connectors may be bolted or welded
So, your still using the trailing link points and the upper strut mount points, but you make 4 or so new ones for the subframe, which aren't original.
