XP rule clarification.

[thewelder]

If I read the rules right you can't swap engines in XP. Just update or back date. So a lotus 7 has to run a lotus engine of some type. So a lotus 7 with a Nissan engine would not be legal. That sucks if I read it right. Class weight for XP is 200lbs lighter than Emod. Thanks

LSx miatas run in XP, you can swap engines.

Then I will run XP then

Prepared rules are weird and I've got some different answers from different people on this question. I didn't think wings were legal either, but people run them all the time nationally as far as I can tell.

XP is pretty different than the other P classes, if that is what you are looking at...

I think I can run in XP. I will ask the board to make sure. I will have to run at 1760lbs.

Yeah, I haven't looked at them in a while, I just remember some confusing stuff before I bought my car. My focus was more on CP though. My specific question back then was if I could put a 302 in a car that came with a 4.6. Same make and model, just different gens. The general consensus was that engine swaps are fine, as long as they don't cross major brand lines (Ford engine in a Mercury is fine, but no Subaru engines in a Nissan).

In XP you can do cross manufacture engine swaps.

I.E. LS swapped Miata, LS Powered Lotus....etc etc etc etc .

Right, that's one of the main differences between XP and the other Prepared classes

[thewelder]

From what I found out I can't run a lotus clone in XP. Just cobra clones. But I will ask the SEB for clarification.

[steverife]

That's how I understand it. The Cobra thing is a special exception, though I don't remember the details.

Also, I think wings are a special XP thing not allowed in other P classes.

[thewelder]

I just sent my letter. Hope to get an answer before the season starts. If I can't run in XP I will run in STM for locals and Amod for the nationals.
