autocross cp build
 
I have decided to redo my c-prepared camaro. despite the fact that it is already the fastest cp car in the north east. compaared to the national champion from california im about 3 second behind on a 60 sec course. So a major upgrade is in order. The only parts that will be the same from last year will be the engine/trans and the wheels. here are some pictures of the progress.

The car will have a ride height of 2-2.5 inches so there is no room under the car. The exhaust will exit out the pass door

cp is pretty much run watchya brung. with only a few rules on what you cant do. 1. engine in stock location + or - .5
2. can not move frame rails, can notch for clearance
3 no wings or splitters ,no traction control, no non stock abs
4 no IRS
5 no firewall mods ex for exhaust clearance
thats the big no can do mods i can remember of the top of my head. there are cubic in /weight rules. The rules are very stable in cp so you can take several years to build a car with no fear that it will be out dated when you get it done

grazi 03-18-2013 07:22 PM

I want to run my exhaust like that but just into the cabin just because its badass.

You definitely did a lot to it since I was there over a month ago - it was just an empty shell then...

coolmanvette75 03-27-2013 11:02 PM

This thing is gonna be sick when its done!

198esp1 03-30-2013 10:36 PM

got some work done today. Got the rear squared up in the car it def took some time and one good buddy to get done but im making foward progress. The front crossmember will get tied together after I see if I need to raise the trans tunnel. Also got some custom front end parts today. I have to send the hubs back b/c the installed 5/8 studs instead of the 1/2 I told them. Nothing like more waiting
