#2. [E36M3] JT-Design Under Panel's in CCA Stock/Prepared class - NOT - from marco

Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 15:05:08 -0800 From: "marco" <m3driver@iname.com> Subject: [E36M3] JT-Design Under Panel's in CCA Stock/Prepared class - NOT I would suggest the rules clarification procedure be used. http://www.bmwccaclubracing.com/Racers/Racer_RuleClarification.aspx of course you need to be a club racer to get to that page. My 2 bits is that I doubt the JTD piece has any real aero advantage over the stock undertray. But better safe than sorry when it comes to the rules. The non-M BMW p/n differs from the M p/n which differs from the LWT p/n. They all looked different from each other so the aero wasn't exactly the same from p/n to p/n but I really doubt it makes any real difference.

Modifications to the underside of the vehicle for the purpose of improving aerodynamics are not allowed (e.g., diffusers), except for splitters as allowed." Prepared section: No application reference. Modified section: "9.M. Underbody aerodynamic aids are not permitted between the front and rear axles. Undertrays are allowed between the front of the car and the front axles, and rear diffusers/venturi devices are allowed between the rear axle and the rear of the car. Rear underbody aerodynamics must terminate no further back than 1" past the rear of the stock bumper location." Someone raised the point that the the JT-Design under panel could be considered part of the splitter that is specifically allowed in Stock class. That logic falls apart since this undertrays are specifically allowed in Modified. If the rules makers considered undertrays part of a splitter, they would not have specifcally referenced them in Modified. As far as the JT-Design under panel not being an aerodynamic aid, I think the following marketing info on the jt-design.com website would counter that argument: "Performance enthusiast will appreciate the flat panel's ability to accelerate airflow underneath the spoiler. This accelerated airflow creates a low-pressure area under the spoiler, most commonly known as "Downforce"." My interpretation of the 2006 rules is that JT-Design under panels are very clearly not allowed in Stock or Prepared class. pcv ************************************************* Please help support the E36M3 list by visiting our sponsors: Bimmerworld http://www.bimmerworld.com Turner Motorsport http://www.turnermotorsport.com Eurosport High Performance http://www.eurosporthighperformance.com Rogue Engineering http://www.rogueengineering.com Treehouse Racing http://www.treehouseracing.com Elephant Motorsports Inc. http://www.elephantmotorsports.com DIGEST INFORMATION: http://www.bmw-m.net/resources/digest_info.htm *************************************************

If you slide the door of the changer open, and look to the side of the cartridge where the trays slide out into the player mechanism, you will probably see one tray that is "in use" -- pulled out into the player part of the changer. If you use a small flathead screwdriver to try to push the edge of the tray back into the cartridge, you may be able to use the eject button to get the cartridge back out. You don't have to push the tray all the way back in, just jimmying it worked for me. It took me 4-5 tries before it ejected. -zs --- Matthew Teel <mteel@beluga.com> wrote: > Date: Sat, 07 Jan 2006 10:11:36 -0900 > From: Matthew Teel <mteel@beluga.com> > Subject: CD Changer Jam > > Help! > > I loaded some new CDs into my changer cartridge, > inserted into the changer > and then I received a CD ERROR message. > > Now the cartridge won't eject.
