I'll bet that the FRP pistons or the specs of the same are not available for half of those manuals you thumbed through.

So, you are saying that the only cars that should be built are the ones...

I'll 2nd Kirk on that point. Using a lightweight piston on the basis of a lack of FRP specs would be over the top.

Are you sure Joe? No responsiblity whatsoever even though they are currently leading the charge to update and realign IT into the future. It is work that needs to be done for sure but wouldn't they...

Your right. This thread did open my eyes to seeing the wording that is clearly there. We interpreted the rules assuming that we could go .040 over and use forged pistons. If we need to go back to...

You are right George. I don't know the original intent. No offense taken.

My honest opinion is that the original intent was to allow only factory replacement pistons offerings but then along...

We did over 4 pages on the issue of oversize pistons and we can't get further comment based on Kirk's post (COA rulings precendent hijiack notwithstanding).

The wording of the rule needs to be...

Thanks Andy. A 100 pounds seems pretty reasonable to me. Especially, since my driving suits keep shrinking each winter. :o

I am glad to hear some weight gain for the Miata as well. I have been...

Popular rumor coming out of Oregon is look for 200+ pounds added to the CRX/Civic. 225 is the number I heard put forth for a race weight of 2375/2410. It seems excessive to me. Especially...

I'll 2nd Jon on the Icevest. Mulitple re-freezable ice packs come with a easy to wear vest. The ice packs velcro onto the vest.

Any which way you choose, you will be definitely fresher at the...

Joe,

We have been tossing around the idea of showing up and giving the ITS guys a rough time but it would be a Sunday only thing.

The regional schedule just sucks for us out of towners.

Brembos.
The cheap ones warp rather quicly if they are not warp new from the stacked shipping. They are worth the extra $20 bucks.

For that matter, both are cheap enough that you should try them...

I ran them last year. They were the best pad I have ever run on (ITA CRX). They are definitely worth the $$$ for me.

I am rather hard on brakes and have destroyed almost all the other brands and...

There is sure a whole of energy spent on the small items around this forum. Door glass? Water Bottle? Useless items on the car!!!

Where was all this energy when the ECU got peeled wide open? ...

1. I am divided. I've already made a fairly substantial investment in this area but at the same time, we keep coming up with ideas for modifications. I would like to see the rules backtrack to...

Unfortunately, the ice racing in the NW or actually the SW, Canada that is has been cancelled due to record setting warm temps for this time of year. We even had record temps in the mid 60's but...

I prefer the drivers window opening and in reach of a belted driver as 9 out of 10 times that is where the corner worker shows up first.

ITA is not gone in the NW. Sorry if it sounded that way. It is plenty healthy.

It is the two SCCA regions in the NW that lack any competition. The two regions combined for 14 entries over a 17...

Raymond,

I don't know the answer to how many IT VW's are shortening their axles. It is said to be needed to avoid puncturing the trans seal and in some cases actually breaking the axle.
...

Hi Kirk.

It just looked like another lemming landrush for the drop off.

Jon's story is just like any 16v Golf that will never be competitve within ITA. He just runs a couple of parallel...

Stop being so up tight. You all have just assumed that he is talking about an IT car. He is not.

SCCA in the NW is on life support. Oregon region is a chin above water and NW Region is bobbing...

More than one???

I know where the adjustable ball joints reside.

No clue on the bumper core although I really could care less on this one.

I haven't seen the top hats. I'll assume they...

Plus creating a situation where all the post 6/1/94 .095 wall cages would be illegal.

Here is the proverbial never a dumb question.

I can't be the only person who is wondering where the seventh point is located. Is it a sternum latch?

I haven't been able to find any mfg info...

I've done them both, that is a stand of trees and a concrete wall. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/redface.gif Wall wins hands down in my book.

Teo Fabi jumps to mind. I believe he raced downhill for several years before racing cars (F1 and CART).

His brother, I can't remember his name, also skied and raced cars, although not as...
