Allow me to preface this by stating that yes, I did read the rule book...

Having said the above, would there be any infraction with me running a JDM ITR tranny equipped with a 4.929 final drive?

Just want to make sure of everything before I go ahead with it. Thanks in advance for the clarification

 

haha
If it's not in the it's not allowed!

p.s. got turbo?

 

Are all the others gears exactly the same??

 

Would that actually make a difference WRT the rules?
The FD is different then stock!! ?

 

Because different FDs are allowed Ed

 

If your supposed to follow the rules
Then why is there talk of scca prod cars being in H1!!!????
They use slicks, glass hoods, glass fenders, lexan windows fully gutted interior ie no dash etc....

Because H1 rules are the exception. They are different from the rest.

 

Exactly.

Anyone have a definitive answer? I would assume this would be allowed, but just didn't want to act on my assumption.

Thanks

 

I might be technically illegal, because it is JDM, but as long as all the other gears are the same, I wouldn't protest you or have a problem with it, but then again, I don't make the rules...

 

5th gear is different, 4th may be as well

Brian

 

Ok, ... my bad.

 

Unfortunately, if it's technically illegal, someone will likely eventually protest it (even if Corey wouldn't), and I don't imagine a person would really want to run a "technically" illegal car given that it's not really in the spirit of the series Karl and Scott set up. And before anyone thinks I'm accusing Jason of cheating, I am aware he asked the question so he *would* be legal.

r2x ~ who runs in CSP now because of an ACT clutch on a Stock car.

 

DON'T CALL ME A CHEATER!!!

Just kidding

 

JDM tranny is not leagal. It says that all other gearing must remain stock... or some chit like that.

F.D. is the only tranny mod allowed.

Will
-who will say Warren and Starnz own H2

 

This year maybe

 

and next year... plus a few H1 cars this year

 

On a lighter note ...

It will be OK for me to run the "guide bar" and race belts @ the ITR EXPO.
Just heard back from Phil this morning. Ed

 

It was a joke Willie, don't cry

Ed-

Thanks for the update, and good news

Yes Dear, ... it's hard on the paint, too.

 

Well, it looks like the 4.929 is going in the US tranny then

 

aside from the saftey stuff in this thread...

research would have show the USDM tranny to be better suited for track use (with modifications) than other ones.

I see I am the underdog

 

Thanks for the constructive criticism, Dad.

 

Here is a little FYI about the gear ratio for everyone
JDM ITR: US ITR:
1st 3.230 1st 3.230
2nd 2.105 2nd 2.105
3rd 1.458 3rd 1.458
4th 1.034 4th 1.107
5th 0.787 5th 0.848
Final Drive 4.785 Final Drive 4.400

I'm curious though why you would want that tranny with the less aggressive 4th and 5th gears. Oh and I stole the numbers from Katman's tranny guide page http://ff-squad.com/Bgears.htm
