EXACT same reason the BMW S14B20 exists, for the Italian and Portugal markets.
Prod allows relocation of suspension pickup points, increased compression, head porting and non factory gearboxes. I other words, STU, but with lower power and different bodywork allowances.
Do...
I thought that was becuase of the expected increased base weight of all cars due to increased chassis rollover protection requirements, and the inability of cars to get down to current base weight.
Honda K20 vs BMW S14B20: Honda wins on any track : 20+ more hp and almost 300# lighter.
I think more like 2950?
Sports CAR not sports ENGINE.
Disagree, completely.
The STI and EVO support your argument, high performance derivatives of the crappy lancer and impreza econoboxes.
The Miata is a pure sports car, primarily designed for...
I hate to say it, but it goes to show how much attention is paid to the June Sprints. I'm still a NKOTB, but I think the Sprints were important when the Runoffs were at Mid-O for so many years. Since...
Top contenders in STU this year look to be a S2000 and a Z3. Both 2 seat sports cars. If a certain driver in a certain Lotus shows up that's a guaranteed win, why bother playing.
I believe that...
Nobody is talking about banning sports cars in ST.
That said, it took 3 years to bring turbos into parity, and in the meantime we've lost a bunch of NA cars. Whatever changes need to be made to...
Stick a 944 motor in there or a 2.7L Boxster engine.
I'd go back to BMW CR with the Gulf car and either build a spec pinata for NER regionals or build a SpecE46 for races I want to travel to.

not necessarily. high egt's can make ti headers brittle and they will fail quickly. better used for lower exhaust tubes, but the stuff is a real bitch to fabricate.
ST warts and all? Don't you mean IT?
I'm very curious as to why we're not seeing any ITS/ITR cars running the Majors or Runoffs in STU. There's one here and there, but nowhere near the cross-class participation I was expecting.
Try running a full tilt boogie STU car in the same class a double dipping SM cars and B-Spec. STU ran with big bore at the Glen Nationals in '11 and it worked out just fine. Ever since it's been a...
i"m agreeing with you and have been saying the same thing for a while now.
Earthbreaking, ground shattering logic at work here, how come we've never heard that suggestion before [/SARCASM]
No. The point was the Lotus is an outlier - mid engine supercharged sports car (what about that says touring car to anyone? ) - no other Lotii engines or chassis to mix-n-match - the Lotus is easy...
I would consider the engine compartment to be forward of the firewall, aft of the radiator core support, and surrounded by the inner fender wells and hood.
Yes, I see this as a problem. The Miata and the K20 and , well nothing else makes any sense to consider for STL.
Disagree, my car and Irish Mike's car can bring the fight to the Lotus, if...
How many 2 seaters are there in
WCTC
ITCC
BTCC
DTM
Keep it simple.
Touring cars have 4 seats. Sports cars have two seats. 2+2 qualifies as a touring car.
My experience with HooHoos is if you cook them, you have to back off for lat least a half a lap. With the BFg, they come back within3-4 turns. Not to mention they are more resistant to overheating to...
