"Change the first part of 14.10.L to read "Any metal clutch assembly, metal
flywheel, or metal torque converter that uses the standard attachment to the
crankshaft may be used. Non-metallic friction surfaces (e.g. clutch disks)
are permitted." Comment: the intent of this change is to prohibit
non-metallic (e.g. carbon fiber) clutch assemblies in the Street Prepared
category."
Does this mean that Aluminum flywheels are legal in SP? Since technically,
an Al flywheel isn't "lightened" it is usually lighter than its steel
counterpart.
"The proposal pertaining to pulleys has been dropped. Comment: the current
wording permits any material including plastic, and this is seen as more
realistic with the emergence of plastic as a common material for both OEM
and replacement pulleys."
Hmm.. tupperware pulleys!
"Proposals to move the BMW M3 from ESP to BSP or ASP have been tabled at
this time, and no action is recommended for 2001. Comment: The SEB currently
views these proposals as lacking firm technical foundation, and as being
primarily based upon perceptions that certain types of cars in ESP should be
"protected"."
Sounds good I guess...
