There's loads of math out there that can solve this for you, I'll do one for you, but I won't run the entire matrix, it would take too long. As an ITA miata guy, I can tell you that Mike VanSteenburg...

David,

I've had the cartek one in my ITA miata since I built it (got it from Demon Tweeks when I was over there a few years back) . Works like a champ, and I have a log book with a tech sticker in...

The track is certainly faster...but everyone is faster still. In my case in ITA, I qualified 3.3 s faster then last year (p7) and am currently in 9th! ITA pole is is 42.7!!!

The B class is close...

Neal,

Well that certainly clears things up a little.... Since Mike will sell his "go fast" parts to anyone (including me...) I know have new things to sort out. :happy204:

Those "pesky" ITS...

Does anybody know the license requirements for the test day?? I was hoping to have a friend of mine hlp me baseline the car and although he holds a current FIA class B License and a Grand Am licence,...

I think this is for people attending pro events only, I had no problem getting a pass for my scooter at the Petite as I was part of the "show". I don't think it will apply to competitors, but it's...

That was a BIG crash, there's no question. The RX7 got hit so hard in the back that there was still a large part of the Jag's hood in the bumper when they carried it away on the front end loader they...

Bob,

I was trying to figure out how to get the "socialist flag" incorporated into the graphics, with a set of bull horns and a 12G shot gun for you... ( a perfect "best of both worlds" solution!)...

Saving it once is cool, but when you save it twice in one incident, now that's really cool!

A classic video from the ARRC a few years back!

ITB "Pant Loader" Clip

Cheers,

OK, that's enough pressure!

All I want to do is go and have some fun and DRIVE again! Spending 100 days at race tracks all over hell's half creation and getting 0 seat time is NO FUN! :(

The...

Andy,

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Doubtful I'll get the car UP to LRP as it's living in FL for the next few years I hope, but if you want to get yours down south....

I'm really looking...

I was just wondering how many of the ITA Miatas are actually "ITA" cars and how many are SM (or similar variant) badged as ITA cars?

I'm bringing my ITA miata, and was wondering how much of a...

Since I sold my ITB car, I'll post up some data from the 1.8L Golf I used to run...

I would shoot for 1300 to 1350 most of the time. CIS cars were notoriously hard to keep happy accross all the...

Back to Aero....

It's always been my understanding that the tape was purely to keep the air moving up and over the car, and not get stalled or turbulent at the radiator opening. The teams tend to...

Just filling out the contingency form for the 2006 ARRC and noticed that there's a Miata Madness class that lists ASM, SSM, and ITA spec. As I'm just finishing the final touches on my ITA miata, I...

Picking the collective brains of the IT crowd here...

Looking for a temp sensor adapter that has a female M6 tap at one end and a male 1/8NTP on the other.

Ideas? Thoughts? Direction?

Even...

Just to add a little more the math here...If a REALLY good SM car sells for $25K (and they do...) then you would expect a really good ITA car to be more than this...Scary isn't it. :happy204:

I...

AB,

Your numbers for HP gains in removing the RP are about right. It's not some huge gain like I was (hoping) expecting... While the 1.6 may have some advantages, there were 2 primary reasons why...

Well the irony of it all is that ...as the "instigator" of this thread, I have enjoyed all the comments that have been made during the last while... I asked the question as I has looked at a ITS...

In Atlanta you have one of the best dyno/engine guys on the planet! Contact Ed Senf at Sunbelt Engineering. He does dyno work and nobody will bring more knowledge and experience to your tuning then...

Just to add to the debate...

I'm presuming that the 1.8l at 2380# will be quicker than a 1.6 at 2205#?

Seems like that motor would easily make up for the 175#....

Any thoughts on this?

SM pole at the ARRC 1:44:525
ITA Pole at the ARRC 1:42:458 (CRX Si)

There didn't seem to be a competetitve ITA Miata at Atlanta this year, so we can't really validate any results from this....

OK, any thoughts on a 94 ITA Miata?

Let me know...

Colin

Just wondering what the collective opinion of the mazda folks would be on making a 1999 miata a competitive ITS car?

Looking at the E36 BMW and Rx7 cars, it would seem not, but maybe I'm missing...

I've been following this thread, as I just got back from my first run-offs (not driving) and have been to 6 ARRCs (driving). And I've had a few thoughts...

All of this is my opinion only, so with...
