Leonard, next time you're at the shop I can show you the documentation.

"In 2006 the LSD was a stand alone option so you may find it on a car without the sport package." Indeed. ANY 06 could have had the diff added, so you can have a 5-speed/LSD combo in any trim level that year, so you could buy a base bucket (5-speed) car and add the diff. I'll tell you what...

What SCCA road racing class is this built for? There are rules that allow some of the road racing production/GT/ST cars into Auto-x Prepared classes, so maybe that would work for you?

Some cold-air intake kits require you to remove the hood prop rod (thew old Jackson Racing CAI kits come to mind) so maybe it is some way to block a modification on a particular make/model? Having watched rod-propped hoods fall on people's heads on windy days, I would argue that the gas-charged unit...

I could do Saturday morning as well...

You can add them (under C&C) but heaven forbid you take that six ounce metal rod out, or it's off to Prepared you go!

And NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I'm always curious at the politics and agendas behind these things. Personally, I think all letters should be public so we can see who is driving these changes. Yeah, nothing like wrecking another class and driving more people out of the sport. STCivic does just fine as it's own class... why are we ...

What, is everyone sleeping in today?

I can do 7-9 Sunday morning if that's still open.

Perfect! Thanks KJ.

Which Trabuco entrance... The east side or west side?

I'll do it.

I'm registered in STS... was I scheduled to run first? I can run second group.

Corn starch. Rub it on your exposed skin before you start working with the 'glass. Keeps the fibers from sticking to you.

Hasn't anybody bought this yet? This is a great deal!

I'd buy it but then I'd need to buy a bigger truck, and then I'd go buy another Mustang. and down the slippery slope we go...

Tow rating is 5000 pounds?

If you have a new key module, it comes with a new code that must be entered into the vehicle's ECU before it will work.

If all you need is a new key, there is a way to "clone" a blank key with the car's current code.

Once you replace the hardware, the car will not start until the programming is complete, so you have to 1) have the car towed to the shop/dealer or 2) have someone come to you.

BTW, those old caps are hard to come by... American changed the bolt pattern of the cap in about 1974 so any new caps won't fit. I went through that when I tried to fit a modern set of low-profile caps to my '66, so I ended up having to have them re-drilled.

So according to that definition, I could totally have skipped the turnaround and only received a 10 second penalty?

I already have a work assignment (gate) Friday evening, but I will be there mid-morning and can pitch in wherever you need help.

The 195 Toyo is the only one that works all the way through the tread... 205 and 225's all lose a second a lap right about 3-4/32's. If you can afford to buy new tires more often (I either sold mine at that point or used them for practices) then they work fine up to that point.

"Investment" and "solo competition, racing or motorsports" (pick one) are mutually exclusive terms. And I say that coming from E Stock, which is now E Street where 115-128 h.p. Miatas compete with 142 h.p. Miatas and 178 h.p. Mazdaspeed Miatas. Ya, I know...it's the driver. Ed, ...

[tinfoil hat] With the attempted removal or H stock and the semi official removal of STC along with moving of to AS the Solstice moving to BS, and the moving of everything in DS to FS, it almost looks like there is a attempt to kill off the one car classes and diversify competition. [/tinfoil hat] ...

You can run in the rain if you want to, but I don't.
