    Seat?

    So, I got to fat for my seat I've had for 17years, and time for a new one. Any strong feelings/recommendations? I'm 6'2" 230. I've got a sparco sprint available, and I fit, but its a bit snug and the sides don't come up far enough. and there's no shoulder support. I like Sparco in general but...

    Toyota specific ignition cutoff sw

    Ok, I know this is been done to death, but I'm feeling extra retarded and don't want to screw this up. I have my SW installed, but don't have the proper alternator cut done yet. I have the switch in the Ground wire (and don't plan to change that for various reasons). For the other switch parts...

    Transponder mounting and wiring....

    So just got a transponder and am mounting to the car. 1. How good a window does it need? I riveted it to the side of the front frame horn a couple inches up from the bottom. Will that be ok? 2. Any concern with using the keyed 12v+ that goes to the coil for the hot power? (my kill sw is on...

    bit confused on washer bottle..

    So, the rules say you have to have a 1 qt min capacity oil catcher for any valve cover vent. I also hear lots of folks say they just use their washer reservoir for for it... but is that legal? You'd have to put a hole in it to do that wouldn't you? I think some of the rules are a bit petty, but...

    Where to get graphics?

    Been out a while, and just freshened up my car. I have a Toyota (former celebrity challenge car), so I usually go with the theme from the challenge cars, but the place that does those is crazy expensive. I'd like some snazzy graphics and wonder where to get them. Thoughts?

    One more cage question - seat support...

    I've been out of racing a while, and am updating my cage. Used to be some language about seat back support, but I'm not seeing that in the 2009 GCR. What's the current practice? My seat is 6" away from the main hoop, and currently I have a tube with a curved plate on it welded to the cage to...

    I know, done to death, but one more kill sw question...

    My switch isn't wired right (doesn't shut down the alternator), so I need to fix it. I understand about needing a fancy switch to not blow the diodes, but couldn't you just interrupt the wire from the key (in addition to interrupting the main battery cable) to shut it down? TIA..

    Muffler?

    My buddy just bought an Rx7, and I'm wondering what some of the basics are for this car? - I'm familar with the rules and general building, but specifically to this car. e.g. Should he keep or dump the power steering? Best Camber plates, strut bars, F/R spring rates etc? Starter alignment...

    Would an Alfa GTV V6 be hopeless in ITS?

    Me and a bud just bought one to play with, and wondered if it would be worth bothering with in IT (If not, we'll just use if for track days and probably the 24hrs of Lemons).

    E36 thoughts? (man!, not much traffic here)...

    Kinda considering a 92-96 E36 325 for a next race car (have a fully prepped ITA car now). Is this a good choice or is there better? Would it be better to run a 328? or? If I build a new one, it will be an E36 something, but not sure which one, or what class, or what years to get/avoid.... advice?

    What to build?

    Current Bushing rule?

    I've been out a few years, and am freshening up the car. I last remember that you can replace the bushings, but can I replace them with Heim joints? I have a 5 link rear end, and a heim jointed panhard bar (since 1990), but can I do that for the 4 links too? Thanks...
