Try road racing! It will open your eyes. I had a Norcal regional second place guy in passenger seat screaming like a little girl as I went through turn 1 at Thunder Hill. Pretty funny. He stop auto X and went road racing.

I do occasional time trial events. Y'know ... those good periods where my car is running really well and I just feel like I need to go break something on it.

Road racing 3rd gens is expensive though .... see my sig.

Hehe I like your sig. The **** is addicting. I have told people kind the same. Drag racing is a puff of a cigarette, auto cross is like a line of blow, but road racing is so addicting it is worth risk dying for.

Classes change quite often. Always be certain to check out www.scca.org or your local clubs to be certain you're legal.

What does "you can do basic port-matching up to an inch into the heads" mean for a rotary in ASP?

Let me reword that, here's the section from ASP:

"Intake and exhaust ports and manifold openings may be
matched provided no change is made more than one inch from
the port/manifold interface. Material may be removed to facilitate
port matching, but no material may be added."

One inch from the port/manifold interface is "ok"? What could this mean for ASP rotaries?

It means if you do any grinding more than 1" downstream of the surface where the manifold bolts on you're illegal. This effectively make any port changes illegal for a rotary in SP.

The spirit of SP is as a "bolt on" class. They don't want people doing internal engine work.

sure, he should be honored, but that doesn't change the fact that he still shouldn't want to have pics of her floating around the net.

if it doesn't say you can, you can't. stock is pretty much stock (cat-back, shocks, etc.). you need to put it back for stock, easily protestable if anyone in your region/class even cares.

RX-2 Classing

Can y'all tell me what an RX-2 with a weber and adjustable coilover would run in? I'm thinking e-mod.

I'm looking to run an S4 NA this coming year in CSP.

Would swapping the exaust port sleeves to TII ones be kosher? What about substituting S5 Rotors?

I think we have gone over the sleeve question in a thread before and I want to say you can. I am almost positive but I would have to research again to be 100% sure.
You cannot though put S5 rotors in an S4 engine. You can run an S5 engine in an S4 chassis in CSP. You must change the whole engine as a unit.
