morning all.

i spent some time on sunday making a cold air induction for the cressida, utilising a chaser head light so that i could have a cold air scoop but also have lighting on that side of the car. at the last SC meet i had major problems with intake temps of 72 degree cel, as my air filter sits in the only location i have room for it in my grandpa designed engine bay, so i am looking to get some cooler air into it.

upon reading my sport compact rule book it says must run complete headlight. i asked around at the last round in sydney, and i got mixed interpretations of the rule.

one frame of mind was as long as there was lighting on that side of the car it was ok.

the other was, if you dont have the glass and bulbs in all areas of the headlight that it came from the factory its not a complete headlight.

i know i spoke to paul about this and another guy in our class who had a bulb and also an air duct in the headlight, and i think if there is lighting it should be ok.

has anyone got any ideas on this rule or have they spoken to ohalleron about it?

any thoughts would be appreciated.

Shane.

well cow girls.

after a lack of banter on the topic i emailed jason ohallaren.

the complete headlight is defined as complete

ie full glass, bulb in full working order as it is from the factory. so for all point scoring rounds cars in S/RWD must have a complete functioning head light.

screws up my plans for my cold air, but i will find a way.

Jason is right

Rule no. SR 7.6

Complete headlight and taillight assemblies mandatory; must be operative.

Do S/RWD rules allow you to disable factory fitted power steer?

Rule SR 3.2 Must retain full, original OEM steering gear.

I have only tried disabling power steer once at the track...it was no real benefit other than giving my forearms a good workout.

Who knows...but my p/steer is staying

Bit confused here, why are you worried about S/RWD rules allowing you to disable factory fitted power steer then?

you planning on stripping the car when you race, I wouldn't worry about it my 10.5 was done with a fullweight car + some due to surge tank, big single turbo etc

I'm not planning on it...if I go to the drags again, I will run in the same trim as I have always done.

* Full weight, including all trim, spare wheel, tools and jack

* Street Tyres

* Full exhaust (a quiet one at that)

* Stock Airbox

* At least 3/4 tank fuel

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
