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

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.

      Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.

      I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.

      Hence why I suggested some tests.
