Elan Vintage Racers
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2005 11:21 pm
Good afternoon, all. First time poster here.
I've been bitten by the Vintage Racing bug, and have been researching an Elan as my vehicle of choice.
But, I'm having trouble finding answers to a few questions- just how much can (or cannot) be done with the Elan and still pass Tech in Vintage events?
I'm looking at SOVREN, VARA, CSRG, and SCCA Vintage events.
For instance- are the Spyder chassis/ roll cage/ suspension updates accepted, if required by the condition of an Elan I would consider purchasing?
Are Weber 45 D.C.O.E. carburetors accepted? There are homologation papers elsewhere on this site- makes them legal?
Last question- removal of the rubber doughnuts in favor of CV joints in the rear suspension- again, homologated and therefore recognized by the Tech Inspectors?
Thanks for any and all advice!
