Improved footwork Options

[Rampant]

I actually bent my gas pedal over and up. To get it to raise I just bent more "L" into the assembly. with the Harrop intake the throttle responds very quickly which is really nice when you want that quick rev match. I learned back in the early 80s from a local rally driver and have done it ever since.

Is that an actual ITB Harrop, or is it the sheet metal with the individual runners into a common plenum type Harrop??

That (rally) driver's last name would not happen to be Sprongl, would it? (I don't know what part of the great northland you are from. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dunno.gif) )

It is an ITB Harrop I run. 8 throttle bodies.

I know who the Sprongl's are and have seen them race quite a few times, the Rally of the Tall Pines is a favourite of mine to watch up here. A guy I went to college with in the 80s had started rally racing in his teens. He was considered an up and coming driver, and had won several class titles. Totyota was putting together a deal for him to run the to in the top class. On his way home from an event his girl friend was driving and a drunk hit them head on and killed them both. He was 25. It was pretty sad.

Anyway he and I would go out and play in the school overflow parking lots on spares, especially in the snow. We got kicked out lots. He got me using heel and toe in my 1981 Dodge Omni with a 4spd and 76hp.
