Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Quick question related to MSA Hillclimb scrutineering for my 996 C4S 3.6 2002/3 model. Would anyone know if my car meets this criteria: ”does it have 2 throttle return springs directly acting on the throttle butterfly spindle that’s compliant with MSA Blue Book regs for Hillclimbing?”. Appreciate any expert advise. Cheers Sean

POST 2Original post

This help ... ? (S) Specific Regs for Sprints, Hill Climbs and Drag Racing 7.1.3. Cars competing in Hill Climbs and Sprints must comply with Technical Regulations 10-15 and Section J. (J) Competitors: Vehicles 5.4.2. Be equipped with a positive method of throttle closing by means of external spring/springs so that in the event of failure of any part of the throttle linkage the throttle(s) are sprung closed. 5.4.3. Vehicles fitted with electronic throttle control as standard original manufacturer’s equipment for that vehicle are exempt from this requirement

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Andrew, do you know if the 996 C4S is fitted with either of the above options? External springs or electronic throttle control? Many thanks and appreciate your feedback, cheers Sean
