Opel Commodore A Racecar

Post by RaceCommo »

Hello, I'm building a Opel Commodore for local "roadsport" class. Rules are pretty open for this class. Main thing is that we are playing with hp/weight ratio. Engine rules are also fairly open, amount of cylinders have to be homologated, so I have to go with 6cyl. engine. In suspension biggest rule is that you cannot make McPhersson to double A-arm suspension and vice versa, rear axle is free. Transaxle is restricted unles it is original.

So, here is my version of my racecar.

Engine:

-BMW M20
-DTA S80 ecu
-Autoverdi drysump
-AIM dash

Transmission
-Getrag 265 from BMW e30 M3
-modded to dogbox with new middle case

Suspension
-Front = Honda S2000 knuckles, Alcon brakes, homemade wishbones.
-Rear = Mazda RX-7 axle with torsen and 4.88 final gear
-2-way adjustable Öhlins shocks

Brakes
-Alcon 4-pot calibers all around
-Tilton pedalbox

Chassis
-Homemade "widebody" kit
-all bodypanels is classfibre

Here is few pics, more in http://racecommo.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Racecommo/

I'm more into bikes than cars but the work you've done on this is bloody awsome.

They most certainly are 8-)

I would love a workshop like that too! Which got me thinking acutally. How many people on here are private users versus race teams / shops?
