    Going from ITS to EP

    I'm in the middle of converting my ITS second gen to an E Production car. I have it stripped down and am going to start welding seams and cutting weight. I know this is an IT board, but we're all racers, anybody have any "must do" suggestions? Also, I have a bunch of stuff I will no longer...

    In Car Video - DVD, SD or Hard Drive?

    I'm thinking of getting a digital camera so I can watch my driving. I may even get a traqmate with the ability to put the telemetry on the bottom of the screen. Believe it or not, the kids at Circut City/Best Buy, etc. have no idea on what works best with all of the vibration. SD card, Hard...

    Better than NASCAR

    Since you posted how much you loved the NASCAR coverage last week, I thought I'd try to go one better. Two words baby.......BARRETT-JACKSON! I'm so glad that Speed channel does not waste our time with boring re-broadcasts of races. I'd much rather watch somebody bid on a garage queen than...

    Overheating problem solved...I think

    :D I've always run very hot, 250 water and 230 oil. After trying about everything I could think of, I swapped ECU's with a fellow 2nd gen driver. Holy Crap, what a difference! I could tell on the pit lane as I went out for qualifying. The engine came to life at around 5K and pulled until...

    Is a 944 supposed to be an overdog in ITS?

    Hi, I'm not selling home loans, or sex, but thank you for looking at my post.... In the ITS world, Porsche 944's are not supposed to dominate are they? The reason I ask is there are a couple of them running in the midwest that seem a bit too powerful for ITS cars. I understand that a great...

    Looking for an engine for a '92 celica

    Hi All, This may be slightly off topic, but my cousin blew up his engine. It is a street car, and he has a 4 cylinder with manual transmission. I race an RX-7 in ITS, and I have all kinds of extra stuff including engines. I figured racers are a pretty good source to have stuff laying around...

    Compression test results

    I finally had a chance to get the compression tested in my 13B S4 motor. The front rotor is 7.8 - 7.7 - 7.9 bar at 237 rpm. Rear rotor is 6.8 - 6.3 - 6.6 bar at 231 rpm. So the rear is a little down on compression and the front is fine according to the technician. Any guestimates on how far...

    Cold Starting Woes

    My car is a real SOB to start when it is cold. Not cold as in has not run in a day, but cold as in it's 50 degrees and it has not been started yet. Once it's warm, it fires right up. I just read Chris Ludwigs post on carbon apex seals, and it could be that that is what I have in my 13B. I've...
