The rules are very confusing, I'd love to run. 3.4 or larger in F prepared. It looks like the larger the engine is, the higher your minimum weight goes... Do you have a link to the rules?

2400lbs is plenty light, especially since I'm probably at 3100lbs with driver.

Aside from the obvious stuff, like carpets and the convertible top, how far did you have to go? Are the doors gutted?...

F prepared Boxster

Blew my engine. Anyone here build a 3.8 or 4.0?

So 8/22-8/23 I drove my 3.4 equipped 986 from northern NJ to Devens, MA for the PCA Zone 1 AutoX.

97-99 was a lower geared 5 speed Audi/VW transmission.
00-04 fits as well, except the gears stretch a little longer. Also a VW/Audi product.

You can use either.
