hello all,
found out yesterday from my engineer that there is a draft revision (VSB 14 v2) of the modification code available for public comment. But only till the 30th of April!
its located here
http://www.pharosalex.com.au/pages/33acs4.htmlits a terrible website that cuts of info in stupid boxes, but thats beside the point
The major change that affects us is the Engine Section
http://www.pharosalex.com.au/locked_docs/ncop3_v2_section_la_engines_18_mar_2009.docUnder the revised schedule the FC is six,
thats right six kgs too light to fit in the new category...1100kg and below
(The mass of the vehicle referred to in the table is the original (unmodified) tare mass of the model vehicle fitted with the largest engine available for the model but without optional accessories (air conditioning, tow bars etc). The mass of the vehicle whether it is a sedan, station wagon, utility, etc, should be based on the heaviest sedan version of the model (not station wagon version)...which means maximum engine size is as follows
1094kg x .183 = maximum capacity in cubic inches which is
200.2or
1094kg x 3 = maximum capacity in cc's which is
3282
FB and EK holdens with weights 1131 and 1129 fit the next capacity up allowing them to have 344 cu in or 5645 cc
This is a major discrepency!!!!! Considering that they have identical track, wheelbase, floor pan sills etc and factory hp difference is only 3hp
this will severely limit what we can do with our cars....some support, comments please...
