Damned good thing, particularly if you're talking about cars like the Fiero or the soon-to-be-classified-I'm-sure Austin America. :)

Count me in... the car is on jackstands, I don't have a shop yet (recent move), I'm running "plan B" shocks 'cuz the rebuild of my primary set is not going well, I haven't been in the car since...
Ouch! I've broken pistons, and I've broken rods... but I ain't never broke a crank. :o
Thanks! This is rwd... an ITR bimmer, yes?
Guilty. :006:
I would like to hear from anyone that has run the current BFG R1 back-to-back, relatively speaking, with R6 Hoosiers. I'm looking for any differences you found as regards starting air pressures. In...
Well now, wait a minute... :)
If you don't compensate for the larger diameter tires by changing some other gearing component, you will shift the entire torque curve to a higher ground speed....
It's a wear item; I replace them once per season, never had one fail. Well okay... I did separate one when the jack slid off the front crossmember into the pan!
I'm older and grumpier, and JUST BOUGHT more new stock mounts. Screw yer change.
Seriously. Someone remind me again why this is so damned important.
...warts and all, etc.
Absolutely... and now that I have an ample collection of wheels (and don't have to compete with you on eBay!), I'll tell you all I know. :)
The Volvo wheels you see on many ITB 140's are the 5...
See post #49 in the "....Chairman resigns" thread.
Well that... and the fact it's too damned light! ;) :dead_horse:
Thanks! If I can be of any help - I'm NOT an expert, but I can at least share my experiences - just let me know.
BTW, check your PM inbox here on IT.com for more info on retailers.
You might also consider some of the stuff that IPD sells, they've been in the Volvo aftermarket part business since long before that 142E was built. www.ipdusa.com
But stick with Bob G. for most...
What's a CV???
You have independent WHAT? :)
I screwed up, apparently fat-fingering an entry - I've corrected the original post. The Omaha Reg/Nat/IT race in May is on the 22nd/23rd weekend, NOT the 27th/28th.
At least there's some good news in our case. We moved about 120 miles north at the end of the season last fall, so we're essentially that much closer to most tracks on the schedule, with the...
Wow! Here's an abridged version of the (somewhat ambitious, IMHO) 2010 schedule, just posted on the official MiDiv website. Even if you ignore the Memphis and Hastings weekends, this is a lot of...
Think of it this way... lacking a VIN requirement, the tub becomes just another part. If it is identical to the tub it's replacing, it's legal.
Yes, I know you said without any further discussion, but I'm gonna respectfully question why you wouldn't put the pig in ITB, where it most naturally belongs with that sort of stock power/weight...
Phil - I have to respectfully disagree with your math... well actually, not your math... but your assumption of stock horsepower. The Volvo 130 hp rating was SAE Gross, evidenced by the fact that the...
Just a rumor mind you... take it for what it's worth. but I've hear rumblings of a future rules change, primarily an effort to reinforce the original dual-purpose nature of Improved Touring. The new...
Wunnerful. :( IMHO, this is precisely the wrong thing to do... not unlike using the results from a single race to determine whether or not a car is misclassified.
Come back, Kirk!
If the weight stays the same or goes down, great... I'll prolly stick with the Volvo and just keep truckin'. If the weight goes up significantly, we know we need to work on plan "B". What ever that...
But Charlie - if some of the "previous top dogs" (like the 142) have NOT been run through the process, shouldn't that take priority over monkeying with the cars that have?
You wanna write the...
