Every other category requires taping glass headlights, but not plastic ones, and not taillights and side markers. Why does IT require taping everything?

My car has a plastic radiator, and an external, pressurized, plastic expansion tank. Some of the replacement radiators on the market replace the external plastic expansion tank with an aluminum one integrated with the radiator. Legal? I'd be nice to get rid of the plastic stuff that doesn't...

What's with this rule? To me, station wagons are just sedans with a longer roof. Not to mention that a few modern station wagons are marketed directly to our demographic: the Audi A3, the Mazda3 "hatchback", even the Scion xB. These are all station wagons by the common market definition even...

My car still has its A/C system intact, and it's time to dump it. Please forgive my ignorance, I've never thought about doing this myself before. Seems like there are rules and regulations for handling R134A as well as the refrigerant oil. How much of it do I need to have a shop do? Or can I...

I have just been told that San Francisco Region, as of right now, is not planning on including the ITR class in their 2007 regional series. Instead, ITR cars can run as ITE. This is unacceptable! If you agree, please send a letter to the San Francisco Region ([email protected], it will be...

Quoting 9.1.3.C: "To maintain the stock basis of Improved Touring, updating and/or backdating of components is only permitted within cars of the same make, model, body type (e.g., sedan, station wagon, convertible, etc.), and engine size as listed on a single Improved Touring Specification...

So my car is getting its cage as we speak, but I took a look at the 2007 GCR just to confirm that nothing changed unexpectedly. It appears something has, but then evidence says it hasn't. Let's see what the peanut gallery thinks. The diagram in the 2007 GCR showing the SS/IT roll cage is at...

I did a couple of searches on this forum and elsewhere, and found some good discussions, but really couldn't convince myself of the right thing, and I'm no electrical engineer. I'm a visually-oriented guy, so maybe using these diagrams you can all help me. Given the wiring diagram below, can I...

So I have finally finished clearing out the interior of the car of carpeting, panels, etc, etc. So now I have a nice steel tub with MILES of exposed wiring snaking all over the place. It's ugly. What did you all do about it? Hide it all in some sort of sheathing? Or does everyone's IT car...

Based on my reading of the rules, I can remove absolutely no wiring from the interior of the car. It also appears that I cannot remove stereo speakers and amps. I assume that I can remove components that were mounted in my center console, such as the climate control adjuster knobs. But I...

I'm trying to understand what modifications can be done to the "bumper" area of modern cars. At the end of this post I have quoted what I believe are the pertinent sections of the rulebook, and boldfaced the text that I think applies directly. Question 1: If you have a modern car with...

I'm wondering about the excitement level of ITR on the west coast. If the is approved, how many people out here would build a car in the first year?
