Is this legal to run in NOPI?

But this isn't a kit car though...

real og production

and last i remember... i thought there wasn't any limitations on suspension and steering angle in fd

oh well

no matter what alex is driving hes basically going to crush 95% of nopis competition

You're sucking too much cawk there dude...

Down swallow ok?

Listen to the people, let Alex run the car

the problem is that this opens pandora's box. Next thing you know, we'll have one-off tube chassis "kit cars" with 60 degrees of steering angle. I think keeping FD / NOPI / Other series "production based" is important, and leaving these types of cars for demos.

Hard call.

If its an Original production chassis, suspension... i say go for it......

too much grey area with kit cars imo. it would be cool though.

why not have the driver vote for car eligibility dealio that allowed sam to run viper in 04 in fd?

I agree with not having kit cars and such competing in drifting. Before you know it there would be sprint cars with fake bodies on them.

I just thought it would alot more fun to drive this then the 180 and was hoping I could. Its basicly all the parts that came off my corolla, just a lighter chassis.

i dont see a problem with kit cars i think the sport is actually lacking them a lot. In competition its still going to cost you around the same to build the car and have it ready than most other things out there too.

I dont want to see Kit Cars.... IE: Caterham/lotus rip off....factory five junk out there. Might as well just build a GT drift car then.

I saw you in your green car driving on the street recently, and all I could think was how you needed a handlebar mustache.

I would also think that if it passes an SCCA tech inspection for Road Racing, it should pass any Drift tech inspection. I see no problem with the half fenders as long as it's got the full cage in it.

Rocking vids Alex.

what exactly would be the problem with having the wheels so exposed though? they still have somewhat of a fender on them if thats the problem.

[Slapshotnerd]

i would think if it will pass scca road race tech it should be considered passable by nopi or any other series with a similiar setup. What is the main problem that its not passing from? i would bet its door bars but im not sure.

I think the liability is in having the exposed tires

[P.Haire]

i think the main concern from nopi is the weight and height difference. a normal car t boning the "locost" is like a truck hitting a small sedan. also the metal bumper support on the front of the car would be too close to his head. as cool as it is i would never feel good about letting it run with cars.

How about if I caged it similar to this....



I promise that I'll bring a couple scooters too, just to make the deal more appealing. And the roll cage tubing would be scca legal size.

I'm probably just going to make the nationals. We will see how things are going around here.

IMO... that should be legal

i see it as a miata without fenders....and there plenty of miatas in nopi

but thats just my 2cents
