1977+ 911SC question.....Is it legal for a 3.2 liter SC to update to 930 Chain tensioners??? even tho its common practice to do so???? or is that something that is UD/BD ...even tho the 930 was a turbo model...Wouldn't that be like updating a baseline impreza with Brembo's ?????..they are both impreza's...

Crash bolts are legal for stock class?

Quote:

In Solo II autocross competition, advantages in the Stock classes are all about the fine details, like “crash bolts” that can help gain a bit of camber, or a set of tires that have experienced just the right amount of heat cycles.

Depends on the FSM.

Some list them as an acceptable repair other do not.

Oh, alright. I recall there being a discussion about using crash bolts for DS WRXs, and people were saying it's not legal.

makofoto · 03-12-2007, 03:02 PM

In our CSCC race on Sunday ... Tom Berry put the PAX HURT on the crowd, besting Bill Schenker/CSP by 3 seconds! Usually Bill is with-in a second of Tom ... before he got his BSP EVO. Tom was up against National drivers like Ken Motonishi, Eric Clements, Rita Wilsey, Jason Isley and Uyeda, Ryan Buezter, Jeff Barco and an ill Max Hayter. Up and coming STX driver Seb Rio's Paxed 6th overall with his WRX sporting Josh Sortor's rebuilt Progress strut/spring package! Apparently Bill's tires were however on their last leg ...

Damn! Sounds like Berry is getting stupid fast in the Evo...

Mark Berry was hiting the tires with a wirewheel trying to scrub them in. That is all, no voodoo magic.

Aye. Another easy way to make this determination is if you can buy the parts from a dealer. Popular trick on VW's, since there are actual VW "crash bolts" with factory part numbers. Not so on WRX's.

PhilC · 03-12-2007, 10:30 PM

I know that crash bolts on the Celica let you get close to 3.5 degrees of front camber if you wanted it and still be FSM legal for stock class, made the GT the car to have until the Mini. I've still got a whole set of 1 dot, 2 dot and 3 dot Toyota crash bolts in the garage somewhere and the FSM allowed the use of 3 dots in both top and bottom strut holes if you wanted.

I believe you would have to swap the whole motor. It's the same as swapping the evo 9 turbo onto the evo 8 motor. Can't do it in SP unless you swap the whole motor along with it.

Not a bad result, but then again Berry was only 2 tenths faster than a 1990 'Vette in SM2. It also didn't hurt that they used the 2006 PAX in the calculation, in which BSP was MUCH easier.

ratt_finkel · 03-14-2007, 11:45 PM

I'd say based on those results either that SM2 Vetter is a total sleeper with a great driver, or that things might have favored a certain car on that course. To see him 4 seconds ahead of montonishi in DSP though is pretty amazing.

Results have been updated with the 2007 PAX.

Chiketkd · 03-15-2007, 10:03 AM

Damn. Christine Berry is super fast in that Evo as well - just two spots behind Isley and ahead of Barco.

Scooby South · 05-08-2007, 08:29 AM

Well...a little update:

a Custom 2-way LSD Rear Diff is going in my car to help with the tripod issue...It seems that Struts alone can't fix this..so I opted to go hardcore and do the Diff...I expect a 1000***37; improvement in Off corner exit with traction this time..

...I also went with some Data Aquisition stuff with video overlay...to help evaluate runs..

...so hopefully with all this done...I instantly become a sec faster...

BIGSKYWRX · 05-08-2007, 09:26 AM
