isnt his intake only one pipe though? wouldnt that rule only apply if it had two inlets like the GTR does?

It talks about multiple devices.

Not multiple inlets.

It has a SC and a turbo.

IE, 2 devices...

dope is good, right?

I am sure they mean 2x 27mm with 2 intakes, not 1x27 if you have 2 chargers, even if that is what is written (ie I'm sure it can be "fixed" as it is not the intent).

2x27mm = 458mm2 intake

1x38mm = 453mm2 intake

the way the restrictors work they need to be attached to the supercharging device (50mm from the impellor), so you will need one on each device. IPRA is running it's self into the ground with their turbo descrimination.

Is the car homoligated to run IP? won't it be to small and be classed as a 'sports car'?

another good question, although it is a 4 seater so maybe not a sports car. If Lofty's starlet or an early rx7 is ipra, surely this would be too?

on related news I was speaking to an ipra person on the weekend and their "discussions" on turbos are continuing. their current line of thinking is ditch the restrictor but enforce a factory + x boost limit. If they did something sensible they would double competitors within a year.

you been speaking to garry? I've been reading the ipra thread about lmt, i'll be surprised if ip is still going in tassie next year. Most people have got pissed of with having to run A048's and turbo restrictors and gone to the 'Targa' class.

You recon there will be a new national series setup by the time the car is done?

If you are right, I would be keen to enter...eventually lol

OMG I remember this thread.

The March is getting a forged bottom end and big (ie 1x GTR) turbo at the moment. Also has a full sic lumpy cam. Probably running again around March ironically

hahah it drives exactly like an early 80s designed 1litre car would. crap. :D

until boost and boost arrives :D then it's just crazy 80s style torque steer and classic fun

we do need to update the suspension a little, it had trouble with bottoming out the shocks on the track day we took it too.

I remember this thread.

Engine is being put back together at the moment after some other projects took priority.

But I've learned not to estimate dates any more :) I need to get the ute rebuilt first anyway

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
