What's a coilover? And other questions...


Recommended Posts

Posted

I run a 90 Eclipse GSX AWD in TTB. Got a few questions about points.

 

1. It has Koni adjustable replacement struts and Ground Control springs with adjustable collars. Is this considered a "coilover conversion" suspension? Nothing was "converted" from the standard suspension. Is this worth 5 or 7 points?

 

2. Therear seat, carpet, headliner and plastic panels were removed to install a roll cage. Do I have to take "weight removal" points for removing that stuff? That roll cage weighs a ton more than the stuff that came out.

 

3. Does adding a small lip (I forget what you call it) to the stock rear wing consitute a modification? Or does the rule just apply to putting a giant wing on in place of the little bitty stock wing? The Eclipse just has a little bitty wing (more like a fender extension than a wing)

 

4. Have the rules/points etc. been finalized for 2007 yet?

 

Thanks for your help.

Rich,

 

You need to post your questions in the TT forum so Greg Greenbaum can answer them directly to you...

 

Every modification will be under scrutiny if it's a power, weight, or aero change from OEM that can better your lap times.

Man... I haven't been called "boopoopie" in over 50 years back in Indiana.

You actually were called boopoopie before?

Hey, I have that same drain pan.

 

 

LOL. I had just changed the oil, and didn't take care of it yet, so I grabbed my moms "mop bucket" and used that. Now I have 2 oil change buckets....and she has a new "mop bucket" courtesy of me. She was pretty pissed though....crazy woman

I dont know how or where I scored the one I have. I just know I have had it for a while, it works well and looks just like yours quite often.
