Hate double post but I wanted to let you guys know that I have to sell the car. Check out the thread at: http://www.improvedtouring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25101

Since ISC isn't carrying RX-7 parts anymore, does anyone know of a source for Front Brake backing plates for forced airflow to the hub/rotor? I could use set and not keen on building them myself. :rolleyes:

Hey guys, Due to reasons out of my control (loss of employment:)) I have to consider selling the race car. It's a 91 chassis RX-7 built to full ITS spec. I have been running it since 2000. I wanted to take a poll to see if it would be better to sell the car as is (with some light body...

I see that MidOhio is holding one of their Competition Courses June 1st. I was wondering if anyone had attended this course before? Does anyone plan on going? I am thinking pretty hard about it, since the $725 entry fee is cheaper than going to Skip Barber or the like.

Hey gang, I know Mr. Ruck will be attending the F1 race that weekend, but I wanted to see who will be attending the Freedom Regional at MidO. Looks like ITS/ITA fun and antics once again with GTL thrown it for who knows what. Any ITS RX-7's coming down? Look me up in the paddock by the...

Heyu guys, I wanted to get with all the ITS RX-7 guys on here to have kind a of round table discussion about our cars. For one I am about to redo my suspension and wanted to discuss some options and the legallity of modification allowed. Everyone seems to have a different idea of "legal" and I...

I was wondering if anyone had any detail on the repaving of the entire MidOhio track surface? I was curious to see if lap times would drop or go up.

Hey Gang, I was watching some of my in car from the last couple of weekends and was wondering if I could get some in car video of cars behind me? I would like to see my lines from the car behind me. Looking at the results from those races I would like to ask the following: Kraig Hopkins from...

I was just looking at the contingency awards program from Mazda and it seems that they offer awards for National, Pro, Solo I, and II, Drag Racing and even Formula Drift but not Regional racing. Am I the only one that thinks this is a bit unfair? I certainly appreciate the racer discount we...

I am in need of some clarification. I want to run slightly higher oil pressure (80-90PSI) and wanted to get a second opinion on how to do it. I am under the impression that I just have to add a washer or two under the oil pressure control valve spring. Is this rigt or do I have to do something...

Hey Gang, I had a rough morning at IRP and something came up which I thought warranted a question on this forum. What tire pressure are you Second Gen guys running in your Hoosiers? Since I have been running them I have been starting at 36psi cold. I remember someone telling me since the...

Hey Gang, I wanted to see if anyone wanted to get a ITS RX-7 corral going at IRP this coming May? I will be there Friday for the test day as well as both days of racing. I am always down for sharing resources and knowledge, since I am still fairly new at this. ------------------ Paul...

Hey Gang, After reading C.Ludwig's comments on shocks int he hybrid thread I figured I would take a poll of sorts. I am currently running KYB/AGX shocks in my `91. I had planned on upgrading them befroe the start of the 2004 season. What is the general consensus about shocks applications? I...

I was curious how many people running second gen RX-7 ITS cars are taking advantage of the "any Fuel pressure regulator" rule? If so what advantages if any does using an aftermarket regulator have? ------------------ Paul D'Angelo 73 ITS CENDIV Indy Region www.iridiumracing.com

I have been on several websites looking for the oversize waterpump pulley. Mazdacomp only list the Alternator and Crank pulley. Does anyone have the P/N availible? ------------------ Paul D'Angelo 73 ITS CENDIV Indy Region www.iridiumracing.com

I was wondering if anyone had any data regarding timing vs. HP output? I dynoed the car a little while back and afterwards I relized the timing was retarded a bit. I know some guys like to advance the timing for a light boost in HP. I wanted to know if 1 degree of timing equaled to "x" amount...

Hey Matt, Can you shoot me an e-mail at [email protected], I wanted to ask you about something we discussed this past weekend. ------------------ Paul D'Angelo 73 ITS CENDIV Indy Region www.iridiumracing.com

I am finally converting to a dual header (vs. two into one). It just dawned on me that the dual header does not have an O2 sensor bung. My question is, is the 02 sensor required for anything above idle? I am a bit foggy on the utilization of the 02 Sensor. If one IS required, which is the...

I was just at an RX-7 event here in Indianapolis. There was a mobile dyno service which towards the end of the day was charging $35 for three pulls. My best pull in the `91 RX-7 was 134HP. To me that seems like a low figure for ITS. Where am I losing that 40 HP to get to the pinacle HP...
