This must have been posted here before but I stumbled on the FIA Homologation filing today and was surprised by the amount of detailed information it contains, drivers seat weighs 13.6kg or the full camshaft profile dimensions interest anyone?

Sprint FIA papers are a lot of useful information in one place.

Re: Sprint FIA papers are a lot of useful information in one place.
I've been using the stuff off this site for a while. There're also pdfs of the old Appendix J rules for homologation that show what was required to get what approved, what was mandetory and what was optional, etc. I've mostly been into Appendix J 1975 and 1976, cos they apply to the inital Group 4 approvals for the 16-valve TR7 and re-approval of the Sprint head after the big rule change of 1976 (effective from the end of 78 for existing approvals). There are also PDFs for the historic rallying rules, etc.

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.
