  • E46 for FP?

    OK, so Teucci shot my DSP E46 idea all to hell. What about one for FP or XP using BMW power? Would be great for someone that wanted a solo capable car that could also run with the BMWCCA club gus for road racing, maybe? Prep it for FP using 2.5, 3.0 or 3.2 (S54) power and run it in C Mod for CCA?

    What is the weight forumula for FP? An weird limitaiotns on wheel sizes or engines used? Get ahold of an aluminum or N54 Al/Magnesium block for a lighter motor and build an NA 2.5-3.0L.

    XP is 1200# + (200# x Displacment in Liters)

    Just day dreaming again...

      engines with turbocharging or supercharging shall have the actual

      2. Suspension
      A. Free. Cockpit-adjustable sway bars are only allowed in Super Modified.
      3. Data Acquisition
      A. Free.
      4. Tires and Wheels

      available for purchase by all participants on an equal basis through
      typical retail market outlets.
      C. Tire and wheel package must be completely covered by the bodywork
      and have sufficient clearance to prevent rubbing which could be
      considered dangerous.

      thickness. Front and rear windshield retaining clips or straps are
      required for non-glass windshields. A minimum of four exterior
      retaining clips (two top and two bottom) or two exterior retaining
      straps and two interior windshield supporting bars are required. If
      an edge of a polycarbonate windshield is not accessible for
      measurement, a 1/8” diameter inspection hole must be drilled near
      a bottom corner of polycarbonate windshields to allow confirmation
      of thickness.
      4. Vent holes are permitted in polycarbonate windows.
      E. Removal of interior is allowed providing the car “conforms to the spirit”

      rear of the car and the rear axles. Any sound-deadening or insulation
      may be removed, except as required around a stock fuel tank when it is
      retained.
      H. Body seams may be fully or stitch welded.
      I. Batteries are free, and may be replaced and located anywhere in the

      metal or composite material provided that the roof has a BMW part
      number (or is an exact replica of a part that has a BMW part number),
      the roof is designed for the specific chassis and model on which it is
      installed, and the roof is installed according to factory specifications.

      back than 1” past the rear of the stock bumper location.
      N. Splitters are free, provided they do not exceed maximum body width,
      extend no further forward than 4” from the stock front bumper, and are
      subject to the underbody aerodynamics restrictions.
      O. Wings are free, provided they do not exceed maximum body width, are
      no higher than a line parallel to the ground at the highest point of the
      roofline, and extend no further than 16” behind the rear bumper. Vortex
      or velocity generators which do not violate these restrictions are
      permitted.
      P. All wiring is free provided required components (e.g., brake lights)
      function as required.
      11. Fuel Cells
      A. Modified and Super Modified class cars must have a fuel cell

      Modified
      Cars will be classified based upon actual engine displacement as follows:
      A = over 5000cc
      B = 3500cc to 5000cc
      C = 2981cc to 3499cc
      D = 2200cc to 2980cc

      E = 1800cc to 2199cc
      F = under 1800cc

      There are no minimum weights for Modified or Super Modified classes...

          Does CCA Prepared more closely match Solo Prepared?
