IDC regs for newly built car...

[Brendanfd3s]

I've read over regs old and new, read over forum posts from this site and others, and there seems to be a lot of head scratching going on regarding to whether or not the bulk head can r cannot be modified in a new build???
(By modified obviously I mean a section cut out to allow the engine be mounted further back and remoulded and welded back up with mild steel)
Getting all the bits together for a nice build and really want a solid answer on this before I chop something il regret!!!

The engine can not be moved back anymore!!

Massive disadvantage to us so. What a joke. I'd feel sorry for anyone who has a build half done and not logged before

The rule has been in effect for a while, so if someone has done it recently they really should have done more research.

There is no disadvantage to anyone building a new car.
All cars have to comply with the rules.
There's no point reading old rules

Aaaah so the tunnel can be modified just not the bulkhead!! My bad. Can anyone tell me if I did the same little alteration to the front of my rx7 as James Deane has done to alloy the engine sit nicely will it pass scrutiny?

did i hear that if you have made a engine swap the flywheel cant be moved past the bulkhead??
