Newbie Question
I'm putting together an RX-7 to run ITA. If I read the rules correctly I cannot remove the headlamps, horn and similar elctrical devices. But since the engine management wires can be altered, would this include the wires to the lights, horn, etc? In reality your horn is certainly not connected if you are using a removable steering wheel.
Thanks in advance!

To be absolutely legal you need to leave the dead and dying corpse of those useless wires in place as there is nowhere in the rules that is says you can remove them. The first rule of IT is “if it does not say you can you can’t”.
You might want to pull some fuses to be safe though.:rolleyes:
Slippery slope ;)Quote:

Heaven forbid you clean it up and make it look like a proper race car.
Just because it's the off season and I'm feeling particularly nasty this morning... show me where it says you can disconnect things (okay, let's be specific - headlamps, for instance). Also show me where it says you can take the bulbs out, or cut the wires, or for that matter, leave fuses out... accidentally or otherwise. :DQuote:

Install blown fuses colored black in the fuse block on the dead/disabled circuits. That way the fuse nazis can't ding ya on that!!:smilie_pokal:
It's in the same place that says the washer bottle must be connected and functional as a washer bottle and not as a radiator catch tank :pQuote:
