Mod Prod hillclimb regs queries
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm looking to enter the Mod prod class in some hillclimb events and after looking at the MSA regs I've got some questions for you guys in the know (Wil H i'm looking at you..)

The question are three fold. Can I:

replace the side and rear glass with poly?

cut vent holes in the front valance?

Add a brace between the rear damper top mounts?

Thanks
Andy

Firstly we need to know what class you are intending to run in. Road going or non roadgoing?

I'm planning on entering the road going class to start with.

For roadgoing

replace the side and rear glass with poly?No


cut vent holes in the front valance?no


Add a brace between the rear damper top mounts?Yes as long as you bolt it rather than weld it

Make good note of section 10.10, last paragraph (which is at the top of the right hand column page 326)

So with those mods, what class would I be placed in? Sports libre?

Thanks :]

These mods would be fine in Non roadgoing. Your car can still be road legal to race in non roadgoing. In fact roadgoing is more difficult to compete in as mods are restricted.

If you go full non roadgoing mod prod (as the title of this thread) then you need to look at the safety aspects, but mainly you will just need a cage.

Was being a bit thick, I didn't notice Mod Prod in the original thread.

The answer to all the questions is yes for mod prod.

Regarding the rollcage policy are they likely to get peculiar with non-standard rollcages. Mine is a bolt in safety devices jobbie, that has been welded in, and the sticker is now missing. Is this likely to be an issue?

The series I'm entering this year will require me to comply with the mod prod rules.

Apart from the rollcage issue, and maybe tubbed arches everything else is in order.

If you are hillclimbing/sprinting in mod-prod you will need an MSA logbook. The roll cage without a sticker should be ok at the moment, but in the future this is likely to change.

What's the best setup for the double springs on std turbo su carb?

Confessed addiction to everything mini

They come as standard. One spring on each side of the spindle. You should not need to add anything.

Once you have a logbook you will not need to change the cage. But if the rules change you will need a sticker to get a logbook. Well that is the easiest way. Otherwise you need to prove the materials you have used, etc.

I have a quick question.

I notice looking though the regs that batteries should be in a leak proof container. Does it matter what the container is? I have a nice battery sized lunch box at home and it would be the perfect vessel. Its located under a seat anyway so not exactly obvious.

The regs just say leak proof container.

I would say that would be fine.
