Hey Guys,
There have been some questions asked about substitution of Nickies in place of factory cylinders, both cast iron and mahle nikasils, and I'm just curious how sticktly the rules are read into- is it just that the cylinders must be to the specifications of the factory pieces (since JE's are already used in E and F prod) or do the actual factory pieces have to be retained? Can it be argued that if other aftermarket cylinders are used (Chinese, Brazilian, Mexican), can't Nickies also be used, since it isn't actually factory cylinders being used- just cylinders made to resemble and to the specifications of the original pieces? I appreciate the input guys, it would be nice to have a definative answer on this one for numerous guys out there with Nickies and those considering Nickies for their 911 or 914. |

You and me both,
Even though I maintain a good relationship with the SCCA, I still feel it stand for Still Can't Comprehend Anything. Foley started to rally the drivers to close some of the loopholes in the PCS/GCR and in the end no one wanted to make any changes. So he ended up deleting many of his posts. I support this closing of the loopholes. If you can only have cast iron, then torque plate and soft hones here I come. But the rules support a reduction in cost as well, adn although the Nickies ARE more expensive, they are repairable and replatable, meaning they can be used for many years, whereas cast iron can't. I can pretty much figure out whos causing a stink. it does not take a genius. And it is Bullshit. There ought to be a rule, that you can just plain stomp a hole in someone when they act like a JACKASS, by doing this shit. I have always wanted to really piss off the SCCA by making them close the rules when I show up with a car that has several thing that enhance performance, but they can't stop it. How about this. The rules say that air cleaners,velocity stacks, and air supply ducts and boxes are unrestricted provided no modification of the body or chassis of the car is required to accomodate their use. I can see me showing up to the Runoffs with this big F5000 air inlet duct on top of my engine lid feeding my cars nice, cool....fresh air. And they can't stop me, they have no way to do it, it says I CAN. But you would piss everyone off that could'nt stop you.
