In Rule 7.8 it does state that rotors/drums "must be the same type, material, and dimensions as OEM. I guess I am questioning the intent of the word "type"

There isn't anything that pertains to the caliper; however I plan to run OEM calipers anyways.

I do plan to get with Sam or Mista Bone and have my tranny rebuilt. Can someone enlighten me as to the difference in the LSD's and why the plate system would be better?

I'm versed in D-Series trans as well. Learned everything I know about them from Mista Bone via d-series.org.

For H4, AFAIK, you MUST retain stock calipers and gearing. FD is open.

As someone that switched from an ITR LSD to an MFactory metal plate LSD, I can say there is a night and day difference. Between how quickly the limited slip action happens, how agressive it is, and how I was able to change my suspension setup, it has made my car faster and myself a better driver/racer. It is not something I can describe through words. It is much easier to just drive the two back-to-back and see for yourself.

As someone who switched from a D series transmission with a plate type diff to an ITR LSD, I had the opposite experience. I will switch to a plate type diff as soon as I have the $$$$. If you drive the car on the street more than just to/from the track, a Torsen/Quaife might be better for wear and tear.

Not really sure I am going to be able to get this thing built in time for spring. Just hit a major road block with my engine at the machine shop. May have to slow this build down. (stupid cars)

Naw - you got it wrong!! You mean in PTE...

H4...PTE...same for me either way just on different tires.

As far as H1, I'm at a loss on finding those 3 people.

Sam

Just heard from Bruce Barger over the weekend and he will be doing comp school at Mid-O in April and racing his EF Civic SI in H4 as well! That gets us to four (4) H4 cars in the GL region in April, and Kevyn will be joining us once his build is complete and he does comp school. I'm sure there are more out there to come out of the woodwork once they see there is competition again.

So far we have:
Sam Myers - CRX Si
Jim Feniello - DC Integra
Rob Demorest - DA Integra
Bruce Barger - EF Civic Si
Kevyn Kistner - EG Civic Si

Looking forward to a great 2013 racing in H4!

Regards,

Sam

Buddy of mine is trying to sell off his 91 CRX and other miscellaneous parts to try and fund a H4 EG hatch build as well. Not sure of his time table but he will eventually be with us too.
