basic open face helmets can be had for 80bucks but they are heavy and..... well shit to be honest

+1, what standard is it that was knocked back?

CAMS helmet requirements are here: http://www.camsmanua...dule_G_Q111.pdf

importantly, it includes the following:

4.8 Moratoriums

(a) There is a moratorium on the implementation of any changes to apparel requirements, save for any identified and pressing safety related requirements which may arise or become evident, for non-international events, until 31 December 2012.

It's been like that for ages and It's all pretty clear on their website:

Helmet Standards approved for Race for Real Off-Street Meetings

Drivers Drivers of vehicles slower than 10.99-seconds (1/4 mile) are permitted to use any helmet (full-face or open- face) meeting one of the following Standards:

• SNELL SA2000, SA2005, SFI 31.2A (USA)

• SNELL M2000, M2005, SFI 41.2A (USA)

• BS 6658-1985

• AS/NZS 1698:2006 or AS/NZS 1698.

    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
