Any experience with the Toyo RR? If so, how do they compare with the Nitto NT-01?
What is the baseline tire comparison?
What is the current recommendation for a consistent handling tire for IT? I'm more concerned with driver development than pure speed. I'm leaning towards the BGF R1, but Toyo is still in the hunt. ...
Greg,
How many logons are there in a week, rough average? Basically how many folks are checking the forum for updates?
The count is 2, do we have a quorum?
I'm getting back to club racing after a decade and noticed this forum has become stagnant as Facebook has taken over. Anyone else not using Facebook?
Can we get a rundown on last night's conference call?
I ran across a chap who worked for Prodrive for @ 15 years and based on their testing they use Motul RBF 600 for the brakes and Castrol SRF for clutches. Not to just play copy cat, but if Prodrive...
Never pay retail for racing gear! Every shop has some leeway, make 'em use it. This is especially true if you purchase multiple items, like a seat, seat mounts, and harness. Trust me, I got a deal...
Just copied from the ITCS posted at SCCA.com:

I would start by logging run time and oil pressure. Then perform regular compression and leak down tests? If they all check out ok then keep running the engine. Also, depending on the power being...
That Volvo S60 has a multi-link rear suspension. Pretty decent setup out of the box. Heck the S60 would make for a nice IT car for the FWD fans. The mono-arm strut is the cool part. I believe the...
I'm surprised GA missed this one.

Depending on the damper you have, start with the manufacturer's manual. You may need some special tools and most can be found here for a reasonable price.

I'm in the market for a good quality scale for weighing smaller components, specifically engine parts. I stumbled across this website and I'm not sure which style/model I should get. Also what...
The Volvo models were offered with a manual transmission.
That applies to every aspect of the ITCS. We all try to optimize and find the "unfair advantage" within the ITCS. That's a part of racing's appeal.
How about applying the KISS principle to these debates? What is the easier solution for IT racers: fabricating engine locating devices (e.g. stay rods) or buying a stock replacement part?
Side...
Matt,
I bought the seat as a packaged deal from Apex Performance. I picked a price I wanted to pay and basically made shops bid for my business. CDOC had a last years RT4009HRV for @ $1400, but...
Check out the following bearing suppliers:
Aurora
FK Bearing

I recently purchased a Racetech RT4009WHRV. Here's my reasoning for selecting this seat.
- Side head restraint - lateral support
- Side shoulder restraint - lateral support keeps my torso...
What about cars with the same chassis, different drivelines, and the same weight? Is that considered and adjustment or an error?
Did anyone discuss the current ITAC-CRB conflict and how they are going to resolve it? That seemed like a good forum to ask some hard questions.
Wal-mart carries Mobil 1 15W-50 (not the extended performance line) for @ $25/gallon.
