Mark, I didn't know you hung out here! We GVR4 guys have to stick together with our fat and ugly cars. I've also considered whether to convert to the DSM...
I have 225/50 16's on my GVR-4. My rims are a little narrow though for these tires. I would go with 225/45 16's on a wide rim if I were to do it again. I...
Steve, I assume you mean there is a limited choice in wheels not tires? Wouldn't a 17-inch rim weigh more than a 16-inch rim? Maybe that is offset by the tire...
No tires. You can always get rims made for you. The wide sizes in 16" rim sizes for DOT tires are shrinking not growing. I was warned once that the 16" 275's...
... I've just sent a request to the SEB asking either for rule language allowing steering mods or a "clarification" which would ad hoc include steering in with...
Ok, I am totally lost here..... 18.1. ALLOWED MODIFICATIONS G. ....... This specifically allows replacement hoods, fenders, wings, front & rear fascias, side...
Looks pretty clear to me. Complete replacement fenders with flares are not legal. And just above your quote in 18.1 G it specifically says rear quarter panel...
It must not be so clear then, because my reading is that 18.1 supercedes 14.2 in SM so that complete fenders can be replaced, along with other items. NB I got...
... not legal. And just above your quote in 18.1 G it > specifically says rear quarter panel must remain stock. NO. 1) All SP mods are SM legal. What SP...
... away. 2) All SM rules "take place" AFTER the SP ones. So then: 1) Take your car 2) Add SP-legal flares 3) Replace the front fender with anything you want -...
... Yes. That is why you cannot hang your torque arm off a subframe connector. You have to install your torque arm mount "before" you install your subframe...
... a torque arm mount off of those is still SM ... Yes. All SP cars are SM legal. But take note that you cannot use an non-SP-legal configuration. That means ...
If you want to hang your TA of a SFC that was designed to stop cowl shake not support a component of the suspension. If you actually want a sturdy SFC to use...
Rules-knowing-people - Where in the rules does one find this idea that the SP mods must be done before the SM mods? The SP mods are legal in SM via 18.1.B....
... It doesn't, and you don't. That's Dennis', ahem, clever way of trying to explain how SP and SM allowances can be legally combined. ... He can, he just has...
I suppose it's a victory of sorts for him, but he finally pushed me too far, and I've banned him. He has plenty of other formus to troll, and I'm tired of...
Real mature Dennis, real mature. This lends a lot of credibility to you. Never once did he call anyone's mother a whore or make derogatory comments about...
The question is did you ban him for the good of the group or because he finally got to you for some reason? There is a large and significant difference. -Sean ...
... The honest truth? Both. It was some behind-the-scenes personal stuff that finally pushed me to the point where I just didn't want to deal with him anymore....
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that after the PRO race last weekend at CA Speedway, I have to second the opinion of the guys who ran the Houston...
Dennis- I agree with Eric. This surprises me. I thought J.Toby's last question about order of mods was a good one and one that should be discussed. Jay ...
... Dennis, As an outsider looking in, I feel that JToby's comments are valuable to the entire community. His attitude always seems fair, his approach appears...
I'm just another outsider looking in, but I do run a Solo II program and try to keep myself up to date on the latest rules and interpretations. The rules are...
... And that's fine - this isn't about quashing discussion. If you figure this subject deserves debate, I'm all for it. If it turns out we could use some extra...
I guess I'll be the first to openly agree with Dennis. It's nice to have somebody that brings up differing opinions and get to the bottom of things, but that's...
