Follow along over here, a bunch of IT guys are thinking about setting up a spec Hyundai class (original idea was daewoo's, I suggested accents since they actually exist).

interesting.

i'm not signed up over there so maybe you can throw this by them.

they were saying something about excluding accents that don't have the 1.6L. they were also mentioning a minimum competition weight.

As much as the M word seems to be instant death on an idea over there they could borrow a page out of SpecMiata. There they have several different generations of cars with several different motors. What they do there is adjust the minimum comp weight based on the power plant to make it a fairly level playing field regardless of what you have. opens up the field of cars and parts quite a bit. Don't see why there would be anything wrong with doing that as well to include the 1.5L models.

 

I like the idea, even though they seem to have moved on beyond the Accent and are now looking at Civics.

 

at the rate they are going, by the time they are done they will all be running either miatas or corvettes.

 

I sort of felt the same way reading that.

Yeah, everyone ran back to their comfort zone pretty quickly unfortunately. sad.gif

 

How did it turn out? I don't really want to read 100 pages of discussion on the topic.
