Wow - are the ITA wheel bearings weaker than the later ITS ones? I've been running my car for years now....including several 12/13 hour enduros and never replaced one wheel bearing.
As a matter...
Nor should they. SAFETY items should never be waived. A fuel test port, however, is used for rules compliance. I'm of the opinion that something like a fuel test port should be allowed to be...
I wonder whether I'm getting more front bias due to the fact that I'm not running any brake ducts at all. Could it be that the fronts are in a higher heat range where the coeff of friction is higher...
I've run my car with Hawk blues all around, and with the ABS calipers up front. The only time I've ever had brake issues (even running the car in several enduros) was when I ran with < 1/4 of pad...
Update:
So, attempting to check one more thing off the whole running really hot list, I decided to get the car dyno'd with a wideband O2. I've got no adjustable FPR or anything - so it really was...
Thanks, everyone, for their input!!!
Looks like I'll be diagnosing a bad gauge or bad pressure sender at this point.
I ran at the Glen this weekend (fun one). I just ignored the bouncy gauge,...
Gauges are electrical, BTW. And having the gauge be the issue would not surprise me. I've had 7 Nordskog gauges so far in this car. Of them, I've returned all but 2 now (for a grand total of 5...
OK, so here's the story - maybe someone can shed some light:
I've got an ITS S13. The car has always run high oil temps, so I've got an oil cooler installed in front of the radiator. I also had...
I can't specifically answer your question about the bearings - but from attempting to enduro the car, here's what I've found out on the motor side:
- Oil temps run HOT - even with a cooler, its...
On what kind of car are these setups?
The problem could also be in the shifter lever itself.
The lever is two pieces that don't come apart (or at least aren't meant to). And the two pieces are seperated by a big thick "bushing" of...
Mine are around the 8k/6k range. And yeah, the softer rear lets you put the power down, as well as accomodating the slightly different wheel rates (vs spring rates).
I dunno what kind of wheel vs...
Sorry - didn't mean to pick on any one car here, but for an example.
When I originally asked, I was actually comparing the 2nd gen RX7 and the ITS 240SX. Graphing out the torque from the 5.12 vs...
And is rev limit also a consideration??
I understand that the RX7 in general is low on torque. However, it can run up to some ungodly rev limit.
So instead of making torque, you put a really...
I don't want to bring up a "bad" topic - I just want to know when (or maybe *IF*) we will see the SP 12 times on MyLaps.com. It's been a month since I last asked, so I thought I'd ask again!!! :-)...
So has anyone seen any lap charts yet???
I've seen final results, but nothing on mylaps (or something similar) yet.
Thanks!

It's true. I've experimented with small-shuffles, no shuffle-but preload brefore turning in, and with complete fixed hand position. The only one I really didn't like was small shuffles. You were...
I both double clutch (mostly out of habit - but not sure where I got that habit from), and left foot brake.
If anyone cares to try and download the relatively large file (20M WMV format - sorry). ...
I've run MT-90 in the trans for a while - no issues, and smooth shifting.
The diff - I ran 75w90ns, but it would overheat the fluid. After some recommendations (from this list), I added BG MGC to...
I'd also like to see the big enduros try to use the same font/size/color (tho I expect they'll be black on white). That way, if you run the SP12, the Nelson 12/24 and the VIR 13h you don't need 3...
I run the Kosei's K1 with a +17 offset.
I got them from the Tire Rack - they would apparently special order - or just drill blanks for you at one point. I do not know if this is still the case...
This is mostly for the DE crowd (and I think the SCV is only on the S13) - er....maybe crowd is the wrong word to use.... But anyone give me your vote.
Anyway, there's a metric ton of stupid...
I haven't been running a prop valve. I just swapped out the front calipers.
Perhaps the only thing to notice is that my car definitly locks up the fronts first. Is that a byproduct of using the...
I believe it's Roebling Road.
