The ITCS allows you to repair the damage to return it to "as new" or "as factory repaired" condition, using factory approved methods and suitible replacement parts... I don't see this as being much of an issue, as the means are in place to correct the problem...Originally posted by RSTPerformance:
It seems to me that doing a repair on a floorboard would need more than just putting in some small tin to replace it.
Try this sometime... Put your car on the scales and measure the corner weights... Then, make a spring adjustment up or down a couple of turns and remeasure the corner weights... If you turned it more than 1-turn with little effect on the corner weights, then you can bet that LACK of rigidity is a performance problem for your car... Chassis rigidity is a MAJOR peformance issue... Beyond the basic safety rules... not much is done to a Speed Touring or GT car that doesn't involve making it more competitive...<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">I think there is a reason that all (rally cars and speed challenge cars and well the list goes on and on) have the cages spot welded in as many areas as possible. Yes I agree that some of it probably is for stiffness but lets face it how much better as far as a compeditive advantage in an IT car is it over the cages that are built for IT???</font>
Again, with the cage rules as they are, I don't see an issue with buiding an extremely safe cage... and with the chassis rules as they stand, there shouldn't be a problem with repairing rust spots/holes either...
