I've run 2 weekends at VIR, got tagged for compliance on one of them. The mobile dyno that NASA-MA is using was ~1.4whp off from the one that I went to to get the car tuned. Not sure if any Miatas got popped for compliance on the 2nd weekend. I didn't hear anyone complaining about the dyno though.

I am sure NASA is trying to work out the dyno issue. I can't imagine an organization won't listen to its customers on something as significant and ego-related as this.

FatKao, You got popped over 1 or 2 hp? Dude, you need to leave more of a margin than that... lol
|
I think he was saying that the difference was 1-2 hp between the compliance dyno at the track versus where he tuned it back home.
|
Yeah. I was like 10whp under at that point. I have heard rumors that there will be 2 dynos at east coast nationals. The one we used for the last two races and someone else.

I'm moving to TTE. Wasn't expecting the 245 base tire size, but I'm happy to see that.
Your '96 Mazda Miata with a 1.8L VVT Miata 1.8L motor swap and a maximum 141 rwhp on a Dynojet, and a Minimum Competition Weight (w/driver) of 2455 lbs, will have a new PT/TT base class of PTE*/TTE* (seven points). Your new base tire size is 245mm. You will not assess modification points for Section B. Weight Reduction or Section C. Engine Mods. You may update to '01-'05 Mazda Miata brakes without a points assessment as well. However, all other modifications, including transmission and LSD, that are not standard items on a base trim '96 Mazda Miata must be assessed points. You must be compliant with the above listed maximum Dynojet HP and Minimum Competition Weight during any tech. inspection. This option may only be used with a PTE/TTE or higher Final Competition Class. |
It's probably a typo, he's given me reclasses with typos like that in it before...
|
Yeah, you should ask for clarification. I've never heard of him allowing that.
|
Is the sport brake allowance for a TTE car typical?

VVT reclasses get a 15lb penalty but get sport brakes for free.
|
I emailed asking for a clarification. Last thing I want is to be DQ'd.

"Here is my dyno sheet and email from Greg." "Oh, sorry, that was a typo on my part. DQ'd". "Thanks for nothing." :facepalm: |

Yeah, I can just see that now.

Looking forward to a dyno reclass. Let's say for tte its 2400lbs and 130whp. Lets say I make 120whp. Am I allowed to weigh 2300 (or whatever the actual equation would be?
|
Greg's E-mail should give you a range of power/weight to choose from. Mine had 3 combinations I could use.

If one were to have three points left over, is that best spent on a limited slip or front air dam?
