Many (most?) IT CRX's have ended up with Integra rear control arms due to the availability of disc CRX arms. This requires ~12mm more offset (the arms are wider). It is illegal so you don't have to...

If I had a fire system (I don't because I agree that the risk is significantly mitigated by driving basically a street car) I would still carry my handheld. I have seen two major failures of fire...

I have to assume your cage number would be able to take care of most grandfather issues? Seems I remember buying a car with no logbook and the cage number got me 90% of the way there.

I'm sure this is fine, it's just like replacing any other bushing on the car.

What the 'shock' includes and how it mounts is the big question. When I bought shocks for a mustang from the...

This is a pretty interesting question. To me it looks like an allowed coil-over that mounts through the stock two bolt shock mounting point.

However, I can also easily see calling it a spring...

Well, that explains it. I was worried you hadn't even been visited by Heinricy and friends yet :D

What's the 'low down on that car'? Tin foil hat guy in me doesn't like that statement. This thread got sidetracked off the Solstice quickly but I think it sounds pretty fantastic. The car shouldn't...

There is a discussion going on in another forum about ITA racer satisfaction and in responding 'very satisfied' I stumbled across what my fear really is about these potential changes and I though I...

I believe some a-arm cars may have hit a very large speed bump on the way to the track as well. Pretty known quantity in SS and I'm guessing it migrated to IT.

I can see how it's counterintuitive but it makes sense to me, kind of like being able to increase rear brake bias in the rain. Less grip = less weight transfer = more weight on drive wheels for FWD....

By gaming the system I am talking about making 200+ pound weight adjustments for one factor. If a car needs that much taken off maybe it's not in the right class in the first place?

Alex

Two points to make now that we seem to be done with the factual side of the discussion:

1. Facts seem to show that ITS and ITR could use a bigger weight break than A, B and C. I think some...

That's not at all what I was doing, I was 'creating' a FWD 944 and comparing it to an as produced RWD 944. Same with the CRX, I took my model of my CRX and 'created ' a RWD CRX. The reason for the...

No ITR 944S2 on pg 344? I must have written my own GCR then.

I was following the discussion about weight and HP and their effect on differences in laptimes of FWD and RWD cars across all IT...

I still think that even if you don't intend this data to be used you are putting it out there and it will influence the discussion. Especially since you are now calculating actual weight differences...

Well, I'm pretty sure on the CRX so we'll have to agree to disagree on that one and I mentioned I was talking about an ITR 944.

Alex

I used 130 for the CRX and 225 for the 944. The shapes of the curves are obviously different as well. It's a couple of cars I have a bit of info on and already had models for.

Alex

The big problem I see with the LapSim results is that no changes were made beyond FWD/RWD and weight bias. I went through and 'optimized' each setup's spring and bar rates for a FWD and RWD ITR 944...

I was refering to 'mid 1:50's' as 1:50.5 rather than 1:55's but it still sounds like that's a couple seconds slower than ITS may actually run. Either way, I imagine there's a few seconds between a...

I think a 27XXlb solstice would be a quick car. It runs a 1:51.X at HPT in SSB trim (3050lbs) and I think a mid 1:50 is a good ITS time (a little hard to find times for some reason). Plus, there...

ITSolstice sure sounds better than ITRolstice. I am eagerly awaiting the classification of this car when it's time comes. If I were a better gambler I would build one now for SSB and be one of...

To bring this thread shockingly back on target I own an 8K TruLife diesel generator just like the one pictured except in their 'silent' enclosure. It's loud as sh!t. It's a piece of sh!t. It...

Make mine a caddy that zigs. The original Catera is quite similar to the Licoln in specs.

However, even better is the 2003 CTS. 3560 base curb weight for the manual with a 220 hp V6. The 'pre...

So this time you read the last part of my post but not the first, nice. :blink:

Again, when cars costing $40K+ start filling the entire 1st half of the field we've got a problem, until then this...

I did that farther down in my earlier post but I'll try to be more specific. However, as I mentioned previously, I will use the rules PLUS the language they are written in. I think this has been...
