Old topic, sorry for resurrecting it... but I think he means the type that secure to the cage with a spring loaded rod... sort of like a toilet paper holder.....

And yes, they are legal. I use...

:D

I see what he's saying... If you're main hoop has more than 180° of bends (or whatever the GCR states), this rule says that ALL COMPONENTS of the roll cage shall be fabricated from the next higher...

I fail to see a difference with any of the devices.... You have to physically attach them to your helmet. You have to physically attach them to the car (HANS positioned between the belt and the...

Let me give it a try:

Track - The distance between the center of rims of two wheels at one end of a car, with any angular adjustments at normal settings and steered wheels in the straight ahead...

Wrongo, amigo. The car already has an eccentric bolt on the inboard side of the toe link (from the factory) to "easily adjust rear toe". And it can adjust well beyond the range that any racer would...

I know exactly what traction bars are designed for, but the SCCA defines it as something much broader. As it stands, I can lose no more than $120 by putting in the aftermarket links (and thats if I...

Right. Thats what I thought (and I was prepared to make bushings for the existing old links), until I read the rules to be certain that I could even do that (which, obviously, I can). However,...

Wrong. When I hit the brakes, they produce torque.





I think thats what was intended, too... but thats NOT what is written. ;)

Ok, so so far everybody has responded with the traditional thinking, which is exactly what I thought until I examined the defination of "traction bar". Here it is again:

Traction Bar - A link to...

First of all:

17.1.4.D.5.c.1 Any anti-roll bar(s), traction bar(s), panhard rod or watts linkage may be added or substituted, provided its/their installation serves no other purpose.

And:
...

But thats only at the end opposite the slave, what about the slave side? Both sides of the shoes must be in continuous adjustment.....

I have an OPM diff in my Swift. It's a total waste of money... the only time it ever worked was watkin's glen in the rain (but then my problem was spinning BOTH wheels, not just one :D )

Nobody said he had quick releases. But if he did, it wouldve been a no brainer. Sorry for my poor wording, but I meant it as though if he DIDN'T, he could still unbuckle the hans posts in 2...

Oh man, you love to twist reality to suit your needs in the worst way, don't you? I forgot, you were inside the car with him documenting the whole thing.

Listen dude, there will ALWAYS be that...

He is quoted as saying:



So it's not true that "he couldn't get out because of his SFI certified HANS device", because if it was he'd still be in there. A more accurate statement would be...

heh...

I tow a 1700 lb car on a 1300 lb trailer, with a 4.7L dodge ram (5sp manual tranny), and maybe 500 lbs of crap in the bed. I think I'm turning about 2000 rpm at 70mph, and getting about...

Castrol SuperClean.

I was telling some friends about the "ford super duty blue" brake fluid that a bunch of people had recommended to me when I first started doing track events, maybe 5 years ago (I always got by...

I had lent my ITB Suzuki Swift to a friend to do a hillclimb up in Williamsport, PA, last year. Normally, he would've borrowed my tow rig to get it up there, but I needed the truck to tow a rallycar...

I have never, ever, seen a non-ac car with a block off plate... however I do see that part in the parts book... 72531-60b00... suzukicarparts.com lists it for $32.58.

As for which were sold more...

just to set the record straight, zoo's (and my) swift gt(i) has what I believe is the worlds smallest radiator. It takes up maybe 1/3rd of the front of the engine compartment. The ac condenser goes...

World Challenge guys have dampers in the $1000 range....per corner

pffftt...

ohlins subaru STi rally struts are in the neighborhood of $4000.... PER CORNER.

You can cheap out and by proflex...

A post from specialstage.com by Phil Smith, after crashing his MGB-GT into a tree (an incident I witnessed, and a car that I helped load onto the trailer):


Miscommunications on stage notes had...

"fuel lines may be replaced"

Personally, I feel that the fuel rail counts as a fuel line, so I say go ahead and swap it out. Others may disagree.
