Is the now illegal RE clutch for spec miata legal for ITA? Just curious. Andy, if you are out there, what chance does a 1.6 have in ITA? I understand a great driver towards summit had great success, but from what I understand he can win in anything. Very interested in your opinion or anyone elses.

Of the 1.6 v 1.8? Yours is a nice summary. The ligher 1.6 will further exacerbate the advantages - and disadvantages - you've demonstrated with the 1.8L. I suggest that a well-built and -driven 1.6 can be faster at momentum tracks like LRP, but will have a harder time as faster tracks, like the Glen and Road Atlanta.I would like to hear Greg A's opinion...[/b]
i'm one of those people that still think the 1.8 is the car to have. i personally think the whp potential in the 1.8 is more like 10 than 5. my somewhat educated (though probably not as educated as andy's) guess is that the 1.6 can get to 130-135 in pretty balls out trim, while the 1.8 can get to 140-145; with an even bigger advantage in torque.

Ain't no 94-97 1.8 Miata going to hit 145whp. There are full Sunbelt builds and RE builds out there now and they aren't even close. Trust me, I feel the pain on every straight.
I look for 1.6/130 and 1.8/135 when all tricked out. Torque I would pin at 1.6/105 and 1.8/125. Take these with a grain of salt - as Greg says to me all the time, "Are those Dynojets or something real?" : )

you've still got that fancy ECU to tack onto yours right? [/b]
IIRC the first 3 finishers at the 2006 Runoffs were 1.6 L Rebello motors. Did these three drivers gain these finishes because of their driving consistency, their race setup or THE Rebello motors or a combination of the three items?

***their driving consistency, their race setup or THE Rebello motors or a combination of the three items?***
***none of the above.***
Ok, they did nothing to finish 1, 2 & 3 & everyone else did everthing wrong. I bet several motor builders that had motors in cars would like to have had the same whatever you call it to finish 1, 2 & 3.
Yes Travis I was there for 13 days & viewed the screw up by the fast qualifer comming off T2 & collecting a bunch of cars. Coello's 1st off occured comming off T5........... Didn't view what got TR. No DVD just my eyes at the track.
***look in the latest redline adds and keep in mind these cars have hydraulic lifters for a clue.***
Wouldn't that be called race setup...................Maybe Andy will enlighten us on the Spec Miata motor temp related hp losses.
Have Fun![]()
