No offense, rgrunew, but...

Did you read the part about him being a current SRF driver and that he was looking for a new challenge? :D

The Saturn is a fun car to build, as a lot of work was...

I'll have to dig that information up again. I'm running Koni double adjustables with a threaded sleeve and adjustable springs. Plus, I have the adjustable camber plates. I know the information is...

Ah, building a Saturn. I have very fond memories...

Your biggest challenge will be a limited slip differential. I know of a total of (10) that exist for the Saturns that are truly LSDs (and,...

Have all this pent up energy? Enjoy arguing about race car rules? Come out to the VSCDA event at Road America this weekend! Volunteer workers are needed in every specialty! If you want to argue...

Ah, OK Marty. Sorry for the confusion.

Marty:

That rule was written so that people could buy parts from Autozone et al. instead of needing to go get OEM parts from the dealer. Example: On the Saturn, the coolant temperature sensor...

Using the information from Racecar engineering, you could build a pretty good system for your current motor for pretty cheap. I don't have the article in front of me, but it has a lot to do with...

There is a great article in this month's Racecar Engineering regarding exhaust design. I'd recommend reading it, running through some of the calculations, and making a decision from there.

Washer bottle? Mine's gone! That was the happiest day so far this year when working on the race car. Well, that and realizing that I could move the battery to the rear of the car and complete...

Have they redefined the "President's" role yet, or are they keeping it the same? I seem to remember after Julow left they announced a re-structuring of that role.

See Post #17 (in this very thread, no less): https://improvedtouring.coms/showpost.php?p=278379&postcount=17

96 was an odd year for Saturn. It was the first year of OBDII and the second generation SL series rolled out. For the SC series, they waited at least 1/2 year before rolling out the next generation...

It's been in the GCR for a couple of years now. ITR/ITS -> BP (STO now, I believe) and ITA/B/C -> DP (STU now). If a car that is built to the prepared specs shows up and is driven well, you won't...

Mr. Gomberg:

Thank you. You comminicated well and made things happen. I am much happier with the way things have worked over the last 2 months than the previous 4.

Bob - Thanks for the insider info.

I'll call it right now - the Mile event won't happen. It will not be due to the Region not applying pressure to the track, it will be due to the track. From...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

You do not make more from a National weekend versus a Double Regional weekend, given the same number of participants. The fixed costs remain the same (track...

Miata only, or will you do other heads? What capabilities do you have?

Well, I can be a little bit of both... :D Thank you for the information. Any hint on the wheel size? The published one said 15X6, but a comparable car (CRX Si) has 15X7. I'm really hoping for the...

Dave:

Thank you. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as an unappreciative idiot. I'll look forward to next month, then.

So much for fixing the Saturn classification for FP in November... Luckily I found a new hobby that will keep me from working on the...

Wait, what? Seriously? I filed this on May 22nd, 2008, and it just gets out, and it is WRONG?

And I'm sure they'd be perfectly happy to have your help in Tech. The line on Friday was 50 cars deep and took 3 hours for some to get through. Others were sent away and told to come back on...

Chris:

Level 2 with a 9.5:1 CR, IT rules for porting, 15X6 wheels, and IT weight doesn't make a big enough difference in my head. Level 1, I'm still processing. A lot more rules are opened, but...

Let's not start that discussion again. For all of you who are thinking of answering it - please don't. We don't need to foul up yet another thread about that...

Yes. For the given rulesets, FP offers more freedom for making changes. IT is a great class, but I want to be able to do more with the car eventually. Being and engineer and a technology junkie,...
