S/rwd Rules

[1JZ.747]

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.

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.

Can't you do something with the front part of your outer guard Shane? Like some subtle body coloured vent. Or maybe through the side of the front bar. It wont be simple but it may be effective.

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

So what was your point about power steering?

I've seen other people in GTR's struglling to turn the steering and I was just wondering if it was permitted in S/RWD.
