PA Hillclimb

Just a note about your welding of the seams. I may be wrong depending on the class, but I recall I wanted to do that to my new car and found a section in the GCR that does not allow seams to be welded. I don't remember the section, but maybe someone else here can expand on this. Either of the Matts...

i agree with the statement regarding "passion". There are two cars (or better yet engines) that I've been a huge enthusiast of for some time now, Mazda Rotaries and Mopar 8v's. Looking over the list of cars i've owned and the extensive parts garden im growing, they represent the majority!!

can we also have alternative patches IN ADDITION to the required patches?

http://www.ohioturbododges.com The site is a get together point for those living in and around ohio who are interested in the turbo mopars to get to know one another better (pa is close enough to ohio!). Plus, there is alot of good information being pumped into the site and i would like to see more....

so i have an idea for the suspension that i need to verify with someone who does A2 VWs. The Omni is so similiar to the VW rabbit that im almost positive i could use VW dampers and springs for the suspension with very little modification since there are few options left for the omni.

geh, i once had a bad experience with Jack Daniels...

anywho, comverting my Omni to run off of E85 isn't my current concern as i have 80% of those angles figured out. But i wanted to make sure that when i arrive at an event, i don't get the boot.

^^ im getting red "x"s on your post

im still trying to finish my omni for next season. The holidays and my quest for a new daily vechile has limited my time / money towards the car but expect another update soon on my thread about the car.

it looks like im in SM1 just due to my motor selection. I really dont care to run the motor as a complete unit. Plus, its a 2.5 so it already put me out of the class. But OTHERWISE, the car is basically a street prepared. Its just the motor (the fun stuff) puts me right into street modified. Which i...

Although it is not currently an allowable fuel, i think that the SCCA needs to start considering it as an option. Might be able to win some "going green" points or something. Who knows.

anyone agree with me?

although i think i've been talked into using the OEM fuel tank, im still curious about an answer to this

ha, no problem. I can hardly wait to get to the point where i have floorboards again!

the 9.3.26 "Fuel cell specifications" states that there must be a bulkhead between the driver compartment and the fuel cell. So being that the hatchback vehicle lacks such an item. What is suggested? I've seen people on the rally forums putting a box around the fuel cell and bulk heading t...

I spent awhile this morning pouring over the PDFs on the SCCA website. But im still not 100% sure what class i should be running in. Im thinking in the production category, either level 1 or 2, but im not sure. Generally speaking prepared seemed to be 1990 and newer model years, which i have a 1985,...

that is a damn nice car actually! I'm usually up at the marathon on Sundays. Occasionally Saturdays.

But first, Background!!!!! Basically i bought this car over the summer on a whim. Several of my friends are turbo dodge fanatics, so it rubbed off on me. Its one of about 1300 in blue (ooo...rare omni) running the "T1" induction system which roughly translates to crappy intake manifold, cr...

POINT OF PARLIMENTARY PROCEDURE! i can handle the oily scent of 2stroke exhaust. Ive owned my fair share of rotaries! Maybe you had some bad apex seals, but a rotary and a 2-stroke are two different animals. Just don't let anyone tell you any SAAB stories. Booze cake, however, IS the food of the go...

i keep the car at a marathon station in mentor where i work on weekends. So i have nicer access for working on things, unless its something that requires long term "up on jackstands" type work. THEN i usually have issues...
