There is an update kit for the Swifts to bring them up to 95 spec I believe.
If you think about it, 1995 was the last year of FF1600, so therefore those cars were the culmination of years of development.
Zetec cars had a different set of parameters to work to (heavy, tall engine etc.) and to reverse engineer them to 1600 spec is cherry picking on design tweaks.
Well, thats fine by me, but don't change the 1600 regs to accomodate the zetec conversions.
John Loebel showed what can be done at last weekends Oulton meeting in qualifying, so why change the regs?
You could argue that 'cos of the 'superior' design of the Zetecs,(which is why people are trying to convert) the ff1600's should be allowed either reduced weightor the zetecs to run with a weight penalty to compensate for their 'inferior' chassis design.
Well, that's going to happen, isn't it? NOT.
