They can-- an Andrews new is something like that. Hell they will LEASE you one they cost so much. You can get a used Andrews or a new gForce or HIghtower for $5-7k though. I'm not sure they are huge advantage. I think if I had a nice shifting, reliable, stock transmission I'd go with that --...

I gotta admit, as an outside observer, that one doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Class looked pretty balanced.

Just kind of buggered things up with the ride height. On V2, that will be addressed. P.S. I didn't get wrecked, I wrecked. Ugh. Totally my fault. Apologies again to Greg and David.

You want my live rear axle and front struts and shit stock transmission that can't handle 200 whp and shit stock brakes that were dangerous on the ITS car? lol...... So after several months of thought and some basic parts collection, I have decided to build/rebuild the EP Starship Turd8. Build...

Carbotech was doing them for a while -- I used them on the ITS TR8. But their shoes really stunk -- swelled after first usage and dragged like hell for a session or two. At least on my car, the Porterfield "race" compound shoes were "good enough."

Hate to see you leave IT -- the black/gold 280z is an icon. But welcome to Prod. If you need a bankruptcy application, I've got a few laying around....lol

No way dude. Buy a $20k dog box!

Trying to understand the porting/polishing cross reference -- for Full Prep cars is porting/polishing unlimited? Does that extend to the combustion chamber bowl?

Only met him (longtime EP TR6 racer) once, at VIR last year. Really nice guy. Very sad to hear this.

Woot! I gots my dry sump (TR8, EP). Needed that, oiling issues were ruining season after season. Question on the 2mm reduction in the throttle body for the Z3. First, why just the Z3 and not all 2.5L BMW motors? That doesn't make a lot of sense as I think the consensus the problem wasn't the...

Just to confirm my thinking -- no electric water pumps allowed? Stock only? I don't see anything in the Prep 1 or Prep 2 rules on water pumps. Am I missing something?

Long time ITS racer here, building a bankruptcy inducing EP TR8 for VIR. Some pics from about a month ago -- hope this thing is on the dyno in a week or so and possibly at Road Atlanta mid March.

Long time IT guy here, not really following the Prod rules on door windows. I've got a two seat sports car, roll down windows with a fixed "vent" window. Can I replace all of the existing glass with Lexan/Perspex of 3mm thickness and run the car with the windows up? Or if I replace, do I have...

Ok, motor in question is a Rover V8. Rule says I can switch from the stock hydraulics to solids. Great, that gets me some more RPM to play with. Can I switch to a hydraulic ROLLER lifter? I'm thinking no but want to confirm that as I believe the rule says something like you need to use the...

The allowance is in the driveline section and just wanted to clarify that's true for front hubs on a RWD car as well?
