Tell us (very plural) more about it and I bet we can help.
The car is a 1992 Eclipse GST, FWD 5-speed manual. Engine and transmission are as they were originally configured, save internal components. Fuel system, intake/exhaust have been extensively modified. The car is outfitted with a 3 nozzle water injection system. One pre-turbo, one post-turbo and another in the throttle body elbow.
Part of my concern about classification is due to a few tweaks that have previously been made to the body, and the chassis forward of the shocktowers.
The exhaust and wastegates exiting through the hood at the moment, and I had to modify the radiator support for mounting a surge tank and intercooler piping.. Additionally, there are two small diffusers/ports in the top of the rear bumper cover to relieve pressure. The car also came from the factory with a sun-roof.
I have read in a (now out of date) SCTA rule book that we are not to close up gaps, add undertrays, wheel-well vents, etc. I am waiting on the new book to bring myself up to date.
Of the couple DSMs (Eclipse/Talon/Laser)I have come across that run at ECTA/SCTA/LTA events they seem to fall into PS/ and BGT/
G/PS record stands at 227.xxx mph, G/BGT is 211.xxx so I figure it would be best to build a car that can tech to 230 in the event that is how I am categorized.
Now for the unorthodox bit.. the car needs to be able to accommodate a passenger seat. (remove-able) So I need to find a way to have a cage built that will work with the Full containment driver's seat, including the 2" limited head movement as well as allow for a second seat. This car sees limited street duty, and part of that includes being driven to and from the nearby drag strips and a half-mile shootout event at an airport about 50 miles away.
This I'm sure sounds a bit silly but, part of the quest for me as a personal engineering challenge is to build a car that can take myself and a friend out for lunch for example. Then change tires, pull the passenger seat, arm the fire suppression and don the suit to make a full bore pass at any ECTA/SCTA track. The Ohio Mile being the closest to me.
If anyone has a recommendation for a cage/chassis guy, I'm all ears.
Personal goals for the car are 225mph on pavement, and eventually 200mph on the salt.
Please let me know what other pertinent details I can provide.
Thanks in advance.
