    After 8 years in a bright green race car, I was ready for a change: white and red (Japan's traditional racing colors) with black accents (including the roof).

    can you tell me what sized tubing you used for the roll cage?

    I myself am preparing to build an ap1 for itr and am confused about some of the regulations...the weight used for deciding the tube sizing is without fuel and without the driver while the classification weight is as raced with driver and fuel?? if that is correct i could use 1.625x0.120 alloy. Am i interpretting the rules correctly?

    sorry for partial thread hijack...the car looks great, something to aspire to...

    Required rollcage tubing is per the cars' classified weight; in the case of the ITR S2000 that's 3005#.

    it says in the GCR-148 "for the purposes of determining tubing sizes, the vehicle weight is as raced without fuel and driver"

    my question is: is the 3005 with driver and fuel, how is that number measured?

    You're looking at the 2007 rules, which only apply to existing-logbooked cars.

    If you're building a new car, you need to start on page 88.

    So what's with the carbon fiber intake tract? Looks like a moderately misshapen 38 DDD!

    Holley Helmholtz Batman, that's one heck of an intake.

    Did it come with a giant "TYPE R" sticker?

    Oof, it didn't (isn't). I signed up for NHMS, then the WGI National, positive I would hit one or the other. But I underestimated how tired I'd be after a week's vacation overseas, so yet another weekend goes by ...
