stevewi Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hi all, Sorry in advance for another stupid question. Have finally pre-registered for 2004, but came across something about car silhouette. Does this mean I should not have modified my bonnet to :- My bonnet Am I still gonna be able to enter a class? I have to keep the vent, for air to get to my intercooler. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Are thoughs Compomotive CRX wheels you have on the car? If so what sizes are they & what was the quality of the wheels like (a friend of mine got some recentley & they were VERY poor), just woundered if it was a one off as i'm considering getting some 7" & 8.5" x 13". As for the extra vent, sorry i don't really know, however i would not imagine that it would be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewi Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 Thanks for displaying the pic in post Bananaman. Yes they are CRX's, got 7x13 et24 all round as these are standard caterham sizes and they had them in stock. They fit fine, just remember to check clearance/posistion of wheel balancing weights. Quality was perfect, but these were off the shelf wheels, will need to check my 10" wide ones for drag racing, as these are being individually made (already 3 weeks late) expected in the next 10 days.

Bananaman Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Steve I take it you'll be running Slicks on the Drag setup? Are you running ACB10's now, if so what size/compound?? Thanks Andy P.S. Is that a Busa turbo in there? What powere you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewi Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 Running extra soft Avon slicks at moment size 21/7/13 and 22/7/13 rear. Will have some 22/9/13 slicks for the rear for the Drag strip No not a Turbo. TTS Supercharger only giving 205 BHP at rear wheels with .8 boost at the moment. Currently in the shop and will be coming back out with a bigger charger running 1.4 boost and hopefully giving around 250 at the rear wheels. + my nitrous should be finished and setup with direct 60 BHP jets. So really hoping for around 300. Will upload some new pics of engine bay later tonight. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Profile should be o.k But as for supercharger the MSA Blue book notes that fitment of a Turbo and supercharger will give an increase in engine capacity of 1.4 I think (need to check) which might influence your class But there will be a class for you that's not a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Mark, Will there be a class for my 4 wheel drive, turbo charged 16 valve rascal van ? It will run on list 1As and have a full screen but its only 250 cc as it misfires on 3 of the 4 cylinders cylinders John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 That'll be class J But do you know what class will your diff be competing in And hopefully your wheels will be running in the same direction as well Sorry - just picked up an old Ingear Mag with your Aintree piccies in ROFLAO SteveWi - Read and check the Bluebook with regard to nitrous - it ain't allowed The only additives that are allowed to fuel are CVL type lead replacement and air-entrained fuels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewi Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 Thank God, As long as there is a class. Just fancy something a bit of different from track and drag strip. Nitrous, was only meant for Santapod and the occasional track with big straight if a tin top does not get out of the way quick enough. Think it would be a bit to scary for the sprints anyway. above is the reason why I have to keep the vent. Some more piccies can be found at My Supercharger Page As for refering to Blue book. Will this be changed for next year, if so I don't fancy paying for something that might be out of date for when I need it. I'm a newbie remember.

Blatman Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 When you apply for your race licence, you'll get a Blue Book. IIRC though, there are no changes to the fuelling or "engine equivalency" rules, so you may have some hoops to jump through at scrutineering, especially if all the NoS gubbins is present and operable......... I wouldn't worry too much about the bonnet scoop...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
