New to SRF - Stupid Question
Posted: Sun Nov 17, 2013 11:37 am
OK, I've done some searching on the site and didn't find exactly what I'm looking for so I thought I'd put this quick "stupid question" out there to the universe and the experts at large. I'm looking to switch classes in the SCCA and have just recently sold my A-Sedan. I've always wanted to race open wheel but I also have no interest in getting "out cashed" or "car obsoleted" like you do in FC / FA. SRF has always been really attractive to me and I'm very very seriously considering making the leap. I'm aware of the looming engine change and frankly that makes it even more attractive.
I also get the class philosophy and like it. I'm also acutely aware that a 25 year old originally built Spec Racer Renault has the same base chassis as a new car today and (provided it hasn't been trashed) can be made to be just as good as a brand new car. I think that's really really cool. I'm the guy who'd take any car I bought down to nuts bolts and screws anyway just to make everything perfect.
that being said I know there have been part changes, upgrades, replacements, over the years, fixes to designs and other minor upgrades.
So, to my question, is there anywhere a comprehensive list of the changes year over year so when I'm looking at used cars (and I am looking at older Renault equpped cars) I can understand better what things have been upgraded from what the car is, and also understand comprehensively what the total list of new over time items are to bring a car fully up to snuff? Does such a document exist anywhere? Or is it here obviously and I just did a shitty search?
Thanks, in advance
