over the winter im going to strip my car down ..... Again


its an ip2 car at the moment but what im wondering is

i would like to rebuild the engine

so do i just rebuild it stock or do i do a few things to it?

what classes can i get into with a 2.0l non turbo

and what other kinds of cars are in these classes

i see what you are saying i guess maybe i need more of an opinion or something

if i build the car in an ipe class am i going to be runing against anyone? more than a few cars?(has there been enough cars in this class for some consitant turn outs ?)

i would like to be able to build the car for two classes (ie. ip2, ipe) if possible, but maybe thats not realistic to be competitive in both clases

or i was thinking a gtu, gtl?  

Wouldn't it be GTU if it's 1999cc or less?

Here is a copy of the CACC General Comp. Regs (GCR) that list engine size for GTM, GTO & GTU as adapted from SCCA. Because these three groups may be considered a regional-only class it may not be indicated in SCCA regs. as they tend to deal with national-class regs. It is my understanding that CACC regs apply at River's Edge for these groups. A query of this at the fall CACC meeting would confrim this, or not. Hope this helps.

17 GT Category
17.1 SCCA Regulations
A Regulations for the preparation of cars competing in this class shall be those published for the current competition year by the Sports Car Club of America for GT Category, and the GT Car Specifications published by the Sports Car Club of America, as well as all addenda and revisions thereto, but with the following exceptions.
1 Where reference is made to the authority of the Sports Car Club of America and/or its officials, this shall be construed to mean CACC and/or its officials.
2 In cases where a car available for volume sale in Canada is not available in the United States, the manufacturer, distributor or importer of said car may apply to CACC for recognition of the car’s eligibility to compete in GT category in CACC sanctioned competitions. CACC shall also permit cars similarly recognized by WCMA as eligible to compete in GT category in CACC sanctioned competitions.
17.2 GT-S Category
A To allow CACC members an opportunity to race vehicles that do not conform to the preparation regulations listed in these regulations, a GTS class shall be provided. GTS vehicles must be prepared to full CACC GT safety regulations including fuel cell, fire suppression system, full cage, window clips, and external master switch. GTS vehicles must be based on a production vehicle. IP legal cars can run in the GTS category classes only as a second entry.
B GTS category will be divided into three classes as follows:
1 GTU, for vehicles with an engine displacement less than or equal to 2,000 cc’s and Mazda 12A rotary engines
2 GTM for vehicles with an engine displacement greater than 2,000 cc’s and less than or equal to 4,000 cc’s and Mazda 13B rotary engines
3 GTO for vehicles with an engine displacement greater than 4,000 cc’s
4 For the purposes of classification, cars with forced induction engines will have their actual displacement multiplied by a factor of 1.4.
17.3 Improved Production cars entered in GTS Category
A To allow CACC members an opportunity to compete in GTS category as an additional entry, cars whose logbooks states the car is an IP category car may be entered in GTS category.

thanks for all the info guys
