A great concept, but of course almost completely untrue in the real world. By buying an already built and developed car at the prices we are seeing right now you actually save enough to get someone...

I don't know the whole story, but I bet it isn't pretty. I was negotiating to buy it at $7500 when he had it listed when the whole "custody battle" started. I don't know enough to take sides, but...

To say it isn't a class killer car would be a spectacular understatement. There have been a few 84-85 GSL-SE ITS cars built and they have NO chance, even developed to the edge, against the dominant...

I'm running the Mallory unit - real nice looking, expensive, billet, expensive.... you get the picture. It has a provision for releasing the overpressure back to a return line to the tank that I...

And on what do you base that? Do they carry a DOT certification, or are they an allowable exception?

(I don't just want to know the answer, I want to understand why...... ;) )

I just got done pulling a '79 tranny that has this exact problem. Transmission had increasing vibration over the course of the week-end, then jammed in 3rd with not other options. Explaination was...

Actually, it looks like fun from a pure "drive it like it's rented" standpoint. On the other hand, even though it is being touted as being "the next big thing" by the Rebellious Youth of America...

Wow - I see that I started this thread TWO YEARS AGO!!!! I ended up getting Digitrons sweet little digital EGT box and it works great. It has other cool features like some amount of playback, a...

Instigator!

A very nice and easily understandable post! Deep down, I knew you had it in you!

Seriously, good post - thanks for joining in the IT forum's tradition of helping the newbies with...

Instigator

OK - I think most here have been willing to not judge you based on your inability to convey your ideas through the written word. I would say that those same folks have encouraged you...

"Instigator"

Even though there are some wildly divergent trains of thought here, I think the members of this forum make a real attempt to respect each others right to an opinion. We respect yours...

Valves?.....We don' need no stinkin' valves gringo!

Boswoj (who's car goes hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - well, kind of like a chainsaw goes hmmm.)

(EDIT: I re-read thr last post then figured I should...

Guys, let me just say that I'm not going after anyone here. I come here because when I'm not actually racing, I like to talk about racing or working on the car (kind of a one trick pony, huh?). I...

OK - a few point to add for the more OPEN MINDED here:

1) The only dog required in this fight is an OPINION. Well thought out, reasonably presented opinions are preferable, but even stupid,...

Finished the 25 with Evil Genius Racing's "lightly" ITA prepped Rx-7 in E2 and finished 30th out of 59 starters. Can't say enough about how great this event was. Jerry Kunzman and his NASA...

Couple of things to throw on the pile:

When Mario won his World Championship it was at least in part due to the radical approach to "ground effect" aeodynamics. He was at the forefront of a...

Since everyone is weighing in on this one, I guess I'll run my opinion up the flag pole as well.

Spec tires are intended to put the emphasis back on the driver and not on the wallet. Period. ...

That battle is well worth fighting!

The 25's unique 10 gallon max gas per stop rule for the regular classes really helps keep gas stops pretty uniform. California's Best and Bobcat both run...

I just got back from the 25. Admittedly, we were not set up optimally but 4.88's were not a good fit in a couple of corners so we switched to 4.11's. That worked reasonable well with the low rpm...

I think I can safely say that the "porting" solution is a Pandora's box that will NEVER be opened in IT. No, it's not ewasy to enforce with the lollypop - the lollypop is intended to enforce stock...

Please don't take my "ego" post as an explaination for some drivers in your region not wanting a class move. I was just commenting on something that I hadn't really considered before having a...

I'm completely in agreeance with Dick on this one. A factor that should play no part in this decision seems to be a much bigger deal than I thought. In my conversation with several IT drivers the...

Let me preface this by saying that to a certain degree I don't really have a dog in this fight. I've moved on to racing my Rx-7 in Production, but I still find a really large amount of good info...

I see that the January Fast Track is out and that the request was dismissed in the "Not recommended for implementation at this time" section with the obligatory "The car falls within the performance...

Wow -

Now it really IS starting to sound like some 6" wheels and a small amount of weight would make a 1st gen a natural ITB fit!
