Glad that you proved me right again, so thats 2-0 to me

1 no one would want a shorty header

2 who wants a quiet exhaust system even if it makes more power.

We've being doing some back to back testing today in the real world called a dragstrip, picked up 1 mph with the quiet system.

 

PW, you crack me up.

But if it SOUNDS 10mph slower, who would want it?

 

but now that I have made it quieter why would you want the shorty?

oh.... there goes that thing called $$$$$$$$$$ again

real racers don't need quiet systems
don't need 1/4mi to know my car is faster

 

Okay Roland , I mean Jan

 

you might want to check the record books.....much happened over the week

 

Danny will be running the autocross at California Speedway on Sunday in Fontana. I wish i could go, but if you can make it, it would be a great way to see what his car can do.

 

Humm wonder if mine looks simlar to that? Well thats if its even finished???

LOL

 

Jan you're impressive...keep up the good work!

 

what one of you two finally made it to pomona test and tune

 

Couldn't wait for tomorrow, so I went to Danny's shop today. The header is beautiful as expected. The exhaust is..., well it's quiet! It's much quieter than I expected.

Jan - Put me in line for this set-up. With this set-up I will definitely be able to "speak/walk softly and carry a big stick."

 

Will do

btw... you coming to CA Speedway to watch the auto cross?

 

Hope the Autox went well...and Jan, if you made an exhaust that I might actually want I will hate you! I thought I was nearly done spending money!

I know, it never ends...

 

I think Jerry in his RMW tuned Cooper convert took 2nd to a JCW Turbo by .4 of a sec. How does a turbo car get put in the same category as a Cooper?

 

No way. Unless both are modified. Then they go into street-mod with all the big boys.

 

Happens all the time at our BMWCCA autocrosses... I used to run my "Justacooper" in a class with highly-modded e36 M3's (placed 2nd overall for the 9 race season). Now, I put the smack down on modded MINIs in a relatively tamely modded 1987 BMW 325is (have to say, though, this is because the MINIs aren't totally spiffed up). Our BMWCCA chapter uses base points + mod points to class BMW/MINI cars - it's definitely possible to push yourself up to a class where it's tough to be competitive in our club.

So, it just depends on what sanctioning body you race with - in SCCA, even a tune would disqualify you from running a Stock class.

 

^ My LSD alone bumped me to SM no longer will I be too competitive...but I'll have a lot more fun!

 

A full boat RMW motor, really wide Hoosiers, and extensive lighten-ing of the chassis, though might be fun in SM? Actually, I dunno, that might bump you into XP? I've lost track of all the SCCA rules, since I no longer run SCCA...

 

+1 RMW in SM
I know it would be fun around here.

 

I believe just changing the pulley puts you into SM by SCCA rules. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Congrats Jan.

 

You're correct.
