Where can I find positions papers and interviews from each of the candidates?

Bill, go re-read the post to which I was responding. Of course my response has "I" in it often; someone asked the opinion of a 325 driver, and I provided it. The post I was responding to specifically...

Then you must know Jack and Lincoln Burns, right? I've raced pretty closely with them. Their downfall was crashing too much, not my car being an overdog. When they stayed on the track, we raced well....

Thanks for your kind note, dj. I appreciate your honesty and sensible contributions to the forum.

Meanwhile, that's exactly where I'm at: I'm thrilled to pieces with my suspension, and my engine...

Do you even think about what other people have written before you fire off an acerbic response in return? Or are you so sure you have all the answers that you have nothing to learn from anyone else's...

Okay, I'll bite. It's the thread I started, after all.

It's too late for me not to feel cheated. I don't know how to prep my car for this year; instead of having months between the rules settling...

I'm going straight to unobtanium.

BMW RACER, your observations match what one of the racing parts suppliers I talked with last week said.

From the other threads here, the observations you've made, and what I've heard calling...

Yes, I saw that. Who is "they"? Raetech, or the SCCA? I also don't see anything in that post about correctly-sized flanges.



Shouldn't I search for silicone hose?



Can you provide a...

The rhetoric and fighting on this board really mitigates its value.

Was the size truly increased? How would we ever find out for sure? Raetech doesn't list sizes bigger than 27mm in their catalog....

Of course I'm not, Andy. I'm an amateur mechanic and a club racer, not a aeronautical engineer. Anyway, I said it was a 66% reduction in the cross-section area, not a 66% reduction in flow. (You...

Did the SCCA actually test and measure the SIR setup they've mandated for the E36 cars in ITS? I've read that a lot of experience was drawn from cars in GTL -- but was a real BMW used with the...

Yeah; I've found "half the stuff", too, Joe. I can use my existing cone filter, and 3-inch tubing between that and the SIR. The SIR can be had from two different sources. The missing piece is getting...

I've been doing plenty of searching, but I haven't found a supplier that makes a reducer in the right sizes; from 85mm to 3.0 inches. If you have a specific vendor or fabrication technique in mind,...

Posts like this one or this one belie your plea of total innocence, and these don't appear to be isolated incidents. You apologized for the latter, which was nice; but we're still trying to shake...

Thank you for your friendliness and understanding.



Sure. But you're still not answering my original question.



I didn't get that idea -- I just don't see how not adjusting for newer...

We are doing our homework, Joe -- it's just that we prefer to do our homework together. Many hands make lighter lifting, and if I can learn from or with someone else, it's a more enjoyable...

I do? Around here, Vintage racing is cars from 1970 or newer; plus newer cars that are voted in or approved (by some process that I'm not familiar with). As far as I know, a 1969 car would go...

Yeah, I think that's the way to go. Or, to classify other, older cars, down as the newer cars fill up the highest class.

Hmm, and I guess it must, since the idle valve wouldn't be suckin' unfiltered air, right? Thanks for the help!

The pictures on the site all look dark; so it's annodized aluminum, then?

I saw the drawings of the bellmouth part, but I don't understand the application. Is the idea that it would suck...

Indeed. A turnkey solution would be really cool, since I'm just a driver and not a race engineer.

The Raetech part looks like it's about 6.9 inches overall, though I suppose I'll eat about 0.75...

Does this mean I need to disconenct and plug my idle air valve? It pushes air right into the manifold, after the throttle. Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of "intake port"?

Have they? I've read the whole thread, even the rhetoric. But I didn't read anything that makes me sure that the SIR will not affect cars with less preparation.




Yeah, it did. I wondered how...

Who's making the Intake Restrictor that's now required for the E36 cars?
