If its as simple as throwing the stock intake on, then I have a car to rent if someone needs a 1.6. Car is fast ask Mike Bell, set up by the JP3.

Would probably take more than an air box for most 1.6s (Weight = 2300lbs, Spark plugs = NGK BKR6E-11, Ignition wires = stock NGK, requires Mazda Motorsports exhaust, etc.,)

Seems easy enough, add weight, exhaust and plug wires. Of course you would have to be rather tall and broad to fit well in my seat, but that can be overcome.

As Toby correctly pointed out I oversimplified the SM to SSM conversion - but I did it out of a genuine desire to see MORE 90-93's come get their mojo going against me and may the better driver win
I'm sure somewhere there are plenty of stock exhaust parts laying around the shop!

I may be misreading Michael but the stock exhaust is ok however you need to run the Mazda Muffler part 000-06-5425.
3.1.5. Exhaust System 3.1.5.1. Catalytic converter may be removed and replaced with the replacement pipe part # 0000-06-5423. All other exhaust components shall remain OEM stock except for the required installation of Mazda Motorsports exhaust part #0000-06-5425.

That is the part i was reading as you had to have the Motorspors exhaust. If we ran a stock muffler, i think it would be out of compliance.

Just got word from Dave Balingit, that if someone was to rent my 1.6 we could run it with a stock exhaust. Thanks for the help Dave.
On that note, Dave has been excellent on answering questions about upcoming events and working out the issues with NASA Texas.

Guys, Dave can't post here but he asked me to forward the following about SSM exhausts:
quote:Can't reply on the specmiata formus, but we have raised the question of stock OEM exhaust on SSM. It will be looked at to reword, so for MSRH please feel free to have anyone interested use the OEM exhaust vs the mandated MazdaSpeed exhaust as the original exhaust meets the intent.

Guys; Dave has been all over it... He's a good guy, give him some time and I know it will get sorted.
As far as the OEM exhaust from head-to-tail goes, technically it is not the spec part but I'd suppose it does not breathe as well as the Mazda Comp (0000-06-5425). Personally I see no problem with it for the first few events... After then I'd expect the rules to be more accepting of it

When you get that 37mm plate, you are going to be hoping for another run group

The 37mm plates are in the manufacturing process and will probably not be available in time for the first event.
Proposed rules: - 1.6 cars will run with the 2011 rules - No RP and 2285 lb - 1.8 NA cars will run with the 2011 rules - 45mm RP and 2340 lb - 99-00 cars will run with 2010 rules - 41mm RP and 2450
Are these rules confirmed for this weekend? - All cars are allowed open timing and adj. fuel pressure

No video but I do have some data. My fast lap this weekend in my 1.6 was 0.20 seconds faster than my 99 which I ran at the same track in November. I know running back to back on the same day would yield better comparisons but I only have a 1 car trailer. Weather was very similar in November.
Bottom line both cars are close in lap times at MSRH so it will be intersting to see the effects on the 99's lap time under the new NASA rules. My guess is a loss of 0.30 per lap at MSRH, probably less at faster tracks.

Gale,
Wouldn't it be more of a time loss at faster tracks where HP is more of a factor than the quantity of turns/mile at MSRH? I was thinking the NASA rules would really hurt the 99 at places like TMS, RA, the longer tracks
So this race the 99s were in the 2010 rules trim?
