most important part of the 360CUP rules:

engine: has to remain stock (max 115bhp measured at the crank) in doubt the car is dynoed to check this
has to be a 2.0 injection! (200E / 200F / 200AE)
tuning not allowed; all parts must be replaced with stock volvo spec parts.
K&n replacement intace filter is allowed (and that's about it) a common mod is a 340 diesel exhaustend muffler; this seems to slightly affect torque

suspension and driveline:
all original 360 for gearboxes and diff; placing 340 parts is not allowed
suspension has to remain stock, apart from uprated dampers and lowering. struts etc have to be stock
front axle 3/3,5 degree negative camber is allowed for reduced tire wear/grip
rear axle, springaid (original caravan springs / koni load adjust) is not allowed. leafsprings have to be original, axle has to be original.

wheels, 14 inch is recommended; spacers not allowed.

body, has to be completely stock, the 3,4 or 5dr version.
weightlimit, none.
spoilers only stock parts are allowed (incl bodykit unfortunatly..)
windows; stock glass all around.

color; has to be RAL7038, the official color. you can make your own colorcombo's as seen on the pics above

lengthened wishbone and to keep the wheel in middle of arch the tractionrod is lengthened too; don't know the dimensions yet since a company named Wielhoven did this modification for all the drivers.

That's good news, if there are standard dimensions I'd love to know them. I have plenty spare suspension arms.
