The CRB is testing these this weekend IIRC. If an adjustment in size is needed, IT WILL BE DONE.

careful with where you put that air filter john. read the itcs carefully. i think the location you are thinking of is outside the engine compt and may be illegal. that hole under the headlight could be defined as the limit of the engine compt.Thanks for the words of encouragement. At this point I'm going for it and then decide after some track time. I don't think fitment should be too hard. I've found a source for aluminum tubing: www.burnsstainless.com
I'm thinking of getting some 3" tubing in straight and curved sections. Then cutting and welding it kind of like how people fabricate exhaust systems.
Routing wise, I'm thinking 45 deg out of the air mass sensor, down through the hole under the left headlight, kind of like most aftermarket "cold air systems" Then making a right turn that will run in front of the radiator over to the area behind the right fog light. I'll keep you posted on the results.
The hoses shouldn't be too tough I'm thinking 3" tubing, 4mm difference should be workable. Once again I'll get back to you on that.

Just got off the phone with Dave at Raetech, He says they've changed the date to April 1! And changed the size to 29mm.

<_< Andy,
You are missing my point? from 220chp what would be the whp from the drivetrain loss?(on a BMW)
It isn't 220whp!
Just because you write a hundred times doesn't make it right.
Greg
Why not compare whp? How do we know the RX7 is 220chp? Don't you have to take the drivetrains into consideration? Isn't whp the real end result??
So far your theory isn't to hot!
Stop this and admit you and the SCCA need more time before making any adjustment this year!
Greg [/b]
could that be the result of some....omg...actual TESTING???
we need details!

You may be, but the rest of us are just getting sick and tired of the bitching.Marshall & Greg, are we having fun yet?[/b]

Well, just don't read it then!
Would we be so lucky. If you know how to ignore specific folks on this board, lead me to it.
Well don't you think we have a reason to bitch?
Yes, once or twice, not incessantly. Do you really think andy Bettencourt is the one that made the decisions against which you're so vehemently opposed? Do you really think Andy Bettencourt has the ability to poof! make these changes back to where they were?
What was the response on the letter you mailed to the CRB?
Plus, I didn't see the Bimmer Boys getting all so upset as these beautiful pieces of machinery were wiping up the competition. I didn't see the Bimmer Boys getting all upset when 2-liter front-wheel-drive cars were languishing in ITS and getting lapped twice a race (by mostly BMWs). And don't give me that tired line about how uncompetitive they were/are...it's just immature. You must really think the rest of the world is stupid.
Sorry, guys, but you're quickly becoming a bunch of whiney babies. Either make a reasonable effort for change or simply go off to the BMW club and have a big group cry. I, personally, am tired of it. - GA
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you should try living better thru modern chemistry.
This entire quote has nothing to do with what I typed.

I'd really like to know what the HELL you are talking about!!!!!!????????Dj, sorry, but Greg is right. As a driver of a "challenged" ITS car, I had hoped you guys would be reigned in some, but totally disagreed with the SIR and I had some sympathy for you.
However, the responses I have seen here by the BMW "crowd" (more on that in a minute, since it is only a few of you) really turned me off to you guys. This is not some big Andy B. led conspiracy to screw BMWs. It was a legitimate attempt to fix a playing field that EVERYONE other than the BMWs thought was uneven.
A couple of things are interesting to me. Only a couple of BMW guys even bother to post here (and I do appredciate that). Most of you appear to be participating in a nasty, unfair, rude, and downright whiny conversation on the BMW board. Frankly, I think the guys there are there because they don't want to face the facts that are posted here.
So be it.
I want to race with BMWs. I think they should be in ITS. I think that they should be one of if not the best car to have. But the attitudes displayed here, and even more so on the BMW board -- hell, take your cars and go race BMW CCA. ITS with RX7s, GSRs, 240zs, 240sxs and the newly lightened 944s sure looks good to me.

Jeff,DJ, I will apologize to you for this reason -- my post was meant to apply to the BMW racer crowd as a whole, not any single individual. It was not a personal attack on you, or your posting.
But Greg is right. This whole episode has just made me, and a lot of other ITS drivers, just think we'd be better off without the 325 in ITS. I truly didn't use to think that way, and enjoyed racing with (and on rare occasions actually racing WITH) the E36. You guys have some legitimate beefs with teh SIR, in my view. But the problem is more basic than that. None of you seem to recognize that the car is too light for its hp and capabilities.
Enough said, moving on. I wish you guys had gotten 300 lbs weight, but honestly, it looks to me like we would have seen the same level of bitching.
