What about lowering, will the glorious road system allow us to alter our ride hight?

Ride height is free game, many of the people do not maintain their car as instructed in the annual 'Accepted Behavior of the People' manual issued by the supreme government. Nobody would know if your shocks were shot, or you lowered your car.

I will take this fine People's Car and violate it with decadent Western Imperialist ideals and standards!

The engine and chassis years must be kept in 1989? Or they can be changed?

[rileybanks]

Look, here come the western spies!

Must remain 1989. That was the last year any parts were produced.

This is an excellent premise (not just because of the hilariously dystopian communist scenario). If I wasn't running the BSLL I wanted to run a "tune this car" race but you've beat me to it!

Also I thought the car was bloody fast around the track with a time of 1:22, then I realised that was actually 122 i.e. 2:02

Question: when you say no body material changes, does this include quality of chassis, body and fixtures?

Question 2: can the year of parts be changed? Say I wanted to perform an engine swap, for example, or are the years locked?

I was considering doing a more "take this engine, hotrod it and build a car for it" type of comepetition

I considered doing something like that, I but wanted a little more restrictive of a challenge.

People build hot rod 1000hp super cars for fun everyday. How often do people have the chance to engage in some friendly competition racing in an underground cup in a glorious communist dystopia with a hyper-limited budget?

I feel like mashing 2 engines toghther to create a flatplane v8

If you can fit it in the budget, fit a 10l v8 in there the Comrade Clunker has decent engine bay space.

The funny thing is just how mutually exclusive many of those things are. There are plenty of 1000bhp cars but hardly any tournaments for them. On the other hand, there are heaps of limited budget limited tech tournaments, but this is the first communist underground cup I have seen

[Jakgoe]

You see, there cannot be any aboveground Communist cup because 24 people using the exact same car is boring.

Try telling that to Bernie Ecclestone.

[strop]

But homologation makes for more exciting racing! LOL

How so?

The concept of making a car, based off a race-car, that is still mostly unobtainable (some notable exceptions), seems slightly useless.

Unless of course, you are referring to the more technical definition of complying to the set regulations of a racing series.
