i would suggest that not-discussing the possibility of YET ANOTHER round of major changes to the category is a very, very good thing.

hey greg, i meant the time you said how everyone who drives a ITS GSR and isn't winning sucks and how you were going to completely dominate everyone. that might've happened in time, but you decided...
reminds me of the same stuff you spouted off about re; ITS GSR. how'd that work out for ya?
why don't you go build one and let us know how it goes when you're done.
what happens if tom gets in a miata? jordan+bulls, wooden+ucla, lombardi+packers, ppppsshhhh.....a more dominant package the world has never seen.
i'm half tempted to sell him mine just to watch...
Sam Henry of Springfield Dyno did it.
Done the same way you'd tune any car i'd guess. start at idle, and gradually working your way through the map increasing load and RPM as you go. add/remove...
the biggest bump came in an area of the curve not used during racing. otherwise, the stock OBDII ECU does a very, very good job.
it did precisely "not much" for me.
i got the benefit i expected from the MS, and for the price it's a great product. but it's not the 10hp!!!!!! bump that many would like to believe.
the only place i can find them that takes kumho bucks is tire rack.
Drago -Stewart Engines iirc (http://classifieds.specmiata.com/detail.php?id=2252)
Pombo - Rossini
haven't even bothered to count who else in the top 10 had what.
i don't think we've had a 25...
I agree Vaughan, but in general, if there's a field of 20, at least a couple of those guys are going to be a "Beran" or "Schaafsma" etc.
Mazdaspeed Crate ~$2500
$2500 x 4 = $10,000
$2500 x 6 = $15,000
2 of the top 3.
even this guy is in favor of IT "going national" if it means doing away with the regional/nat'l structure and the top TWENTY classes go to the runoffs.
actually....i might have to adjust that...
i got an auto reply. :026:
i don't think i ever said, or even implied that costs would skyrocket.
i don't think effectively splitting the class in two is a good idea.
if joe racer still spends his $25,000 to go...
SM pro motors are as little as $5000. i'd love to find a built ITA motor for $833-$1250. shit, i'm pretty sure i'll spend that on just my ECU and dyno time.....for i expect <2hp peak.
and for any...
easy muchacho.
i meant methods like using displacement are currently unworkable, but with the elimination of cars people don't race anyway.....they just might be.
to no one in particular - no...
just so the OP doesn't get the wrong idea that this perspective is the consensus amongst the IT community. i believe this to be patently FALSE. so does the majority of others with an SM background....
you're right, idiot was my word. they have been called worse as of late.
i agree jeff.
although i would like to explore the idea of de-listing any vehicle that hasn't been raced in maybe 5yrs....at which point maybe some of these currently unworkable methods become...
my point was not to try and show there was a better way of doing it, but that there is some reasoning and history in other classes of those classification approaches working, and that the CRB isn't a...
displacement. valvetrain architecture. valve size/count. TB size. etc.
i'm not really saying that's the way to do it in a class with more significant mechanical restrictions like cams and...
i was under the impression these cars made BIG gains with IT legal prep?
my 1990 had 222 stock hp;
222 * 1.3 = 289 * .82 = 236 - 237 whp.
222 * 1.3 * 11.25 = 3247
222 * 1.25 = 278 * .82...
That's not very much, but you're right, there are cars out there for that.
I'd suggest adding first gen rx-7s to your search list. I'll keep an eye out.
how much are you looking to spend on a car and per season?
are you opposed to miatas? there's a decent BMW down here in KC for sale too.
