just saw a pic of kenny's bmw at wsid from a meeting just prior to xmas on cackling pipes

howd it go champion?

Shane, fourth time outto WSID in this trim and fourth problem. The car developed a misfire on the first pass so back on the truck and back to the workshop :-(

do i recall you saying you had bolt in intrusion mate, what ws the comment from tech inspector, i tried to make a rule submission to allow sub 10 but higher than 9.00 cars aloud to run bolt in with 6 point as they do in NHRA, but i was told insurance company is what will not allow it so no point putting the $25 in to try. apparantly it has been asked many times in the last 2 years.

im going to have to go full 6 point in the next couple of months with the new package, not liking the idea of no street driving.

Yes I do have a removable bolt in intrusion bar in the driver's side, however the rest of the six point cage is fully welded in. It is ANDRA tech inspection legal when you follow the rules with regards to sizing, etc.

You can get a six point cage engineered for street use.

But you cannot get a six point welded in cage engineered for street use.

Best of luck with the BMW's drag racing.

i was reaidng a release formt eh RTA last week and it said 6 point was a no no and couldnt be engineered, the way i read it though if it was engineered before a certain time, then you are fine.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
