Chu I'm protesting your *** in BSP with all that stuff done... sending an email right now. (that is unless you go to the next event and let Pete drive your car)

Jim I'm with you on the bolt-in cage. As long as it make you legal f-it. You can get away with running no cage at atco for a little while on the T&T nights but once they pull your card thats it, no more runs. Etown is MUCH more strict with that stuff.

What you (all of us) should do is roll like the big dogs and RENT the track for a day. Then we can run whatever we want how ever we want it.
I know the BR Deluxe is a 3.5" core. I don't know if they came out with a new set-up? That sale does look like a good deal though. I also saw a guy in the F/S thread with one asking $450.

As far ad Drag goes, I think most of the tracks around here won't let you run. I highly doubt Maple Grove or even Cecil will let you run without one. You may get one pass in, but thats it.

Chu did you have to bleed the lifters like some people mentioned on the forum? I heard if you don't bleed them you hear some sort of ticking. I would like to know in case I ever want to change mine... Dunno if I even have cams in my car or is it just a bad idle lol. Not sure what previous owner did =\

Well it's definately the Differential. I'm getting mixed answers though. JNZ says they called Quaife about a new LSD and they mention it being a Center diff according to them. I called Trevor at Sheptrans and they so NO, the LSD is definately the front Diff. I'll figure it out either way. I already told JNZ that I wanted to ship it out to Shep Trans. It's gonna cost some bucks though. Looking like $2800 plus 5hrs@ $85/hr so.....ouch

By the way, does anybody no anything about this Autopower Roll Bars? I never heard once that they were okay for NHRA rules. I've heard they're okay for SCCA and some others. Don't know.

I've been looking for an 8 point and it's around $2K everywhere I look. I'm thinking of getting the autopower 6 point and welding it in place and at the connection points because I'm cheap.
