Car Racing addons/Features, converting car to racing specs Options

Trying to figure out what you would need to do to get a car ready for the race track, like what features/addons you would need.


I know weight is the biggest part of getting a car ready, so getting rid of things like car stereo system and interior moldings. I heard you need a roll cage too, so what else would I need to do to the car to get it ready for the race track

okay, well first check the requirements of what league(s) you are going to race in! some are more stringant than others, SCCA solo just requires a street legal car and a helmet, while other SCCA series require a mininum style of roll cage among other safetly devices. and the one on Ebay is a bolt togeather, while most SCCA series require Weld togeather cages. other sanctions like NASA hold higher restrictions, such as side impact door beams cannot be removed, and certain things must remain stock. other than that though its all about how much time your willing to invest, we spent approx 2 weeks removing the sound deadening/foam material from the frame on the MRT mustang and just that slimmed it down an estimated 30-35 LBS.
