ODDBALL Question RENAULT SREN
Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2018 4:56 pm
So, my Gen1 Renault SCCA racer, runs in SPU - Super Production Under.
I currently am running a Renault 2.0L engine (up from the SPEC 1.7) and will upgrade the Weber 36 to dual DCOEs with a custom intake. Next comes the Crank Trigger and coil-on-plug ignition. BTW I might have the 1.7 engine for sale for any Renault users out there.
It is a great platform for many of my interests, aero-mods, engine swaps/upgrades, using the TOYOs (cheap), AX when available, getting cheap seat time, etc.
I could ask of the SEDiv, but thought the first question might have some historical reference within this Community. [I will ask around at Sebring this weekend too!]
Now the question(s):
1. How far can I go with the chassis? I heard a rumor that Enterprise had a "rule" that it could not be used for any other "class?" Anybody know? Seems like a number of Gen2s could migrate to other options - unless it stays forever as a class.
2. If I did a "Fenske-like" mod to the side pods (make them removable/replacable) would I need a Homogenization (that's so funny I'm leaving it that way...Thanks Google!) of the chassis mod? Or as a SPU - it is open wide except for basic cage, safety, etc as outlined in the GCR/DIV rules.
3. What if I opened the body and made a March-style Formula platform with it and ran in FS? Not possible if the rumor in question 1 is true.
A major re-body seems to be open for the aero-mods, and will be a lot of fun to try and squeeze some drag out of the existing shape. And I "think" I'll be OK with just an annual Tech with new body. But my concern is running afoul of the System Enterprise on any "chassis" use.
Thanks to all.
Cheers - Jim
