nighthawksi04:So FS now has a higher pax than DS or ES?  How does that make sense?  Why didn't they just move the new Mustangs or whatever cars they were worried about into a higher class? A Shelby doesn't really ''fit'' in any other class. Put it in ES or DS and you'd completely change the competitive balance of those classes. It ...

I'm pretty sure I know the reason why he doesn't use a big rear bar on his F Stock Mustang! Not sure why he doesn't wholeheartedly recommend the big front bar, but I'm sure he has a good reason. 

Brian answered you about the shocks. I believe the wording is something about mounting points and ride height remaining unchanged (no adjustable spring perches, for example), but adjustable shocks are generally fine. Double-adjustables are nice, but in practice I don't adjust mine very often. In fact, I would argue that a set of non-adjustable ...

Y2E0L0L5OGWT69:anyway, i made a decision on what i am going to do...I am going to stay within the limits of FS, but I am going to push those limits as far as possible, i.e. going with a significanly bigger/stiffer front sway bar, much stiffer struts/shocks (more than likely billstein non-adj.), a more high perf. brake pad, and some stickier ...

Ronnie, update/backdate is available to Street Prepared (and to classes that inherit rules from SP) - chapter 15, I believe (I think it's on the first page of SP rules). So, no update/backdate in Stock. What you can theoretically do in Stock is a package conversion, which is to convert a car to a different package that was available that same ...

Here's a thread about it, but with no resolution. You might try posting in it to see if anybody has answered your question. If it ends up being a GS car, it's probably a decent car for the class. Since $30k is steep for a Civic, why not a low mileage S2000? It's a solid car in both AS and BSP.

Aftermarket seats are (as you said) more supportive and can be significantly lighter than stock. Both of those (particularly the latter) provide a performance benefit beyond the stock class rules. I dropped 80 pounds from my car by going to lightweight seats, and I no longer slide around while driving. I think the shift knob is okay under the ...

Aside from FS, STX is definitely the cheapest way to go, but I do think you'll have a tough time being competitive with that setup in our region - there's just too much weight and too little tire. With 10-11'' wheels and 275mm tires in STU at least you're giving yourself a better chance, and you could always run ESP in street tire. Whatever ...

The best way to be competitive in our region is to prep your car close to the limits of your chosen class. You really need for your car to be somewhat competitive in that class as well. The best examples of this are Brian's STi, Ry's Mini, and my M3. Of these cars, in my opinion only Brian's is currently capable of winning a national championship ...

Michael Melcher:not to argue, but it says that ''jacking rails'' are not permitted - there is a difference between subframe connectors and jacking rails... besides, the convertibles come with bolt in ones stock... would that count in the update/backdate stuff? What you've got to look for in the rules is something that says subframe connectors ...

The subframe connectors bump you to Street Modified (or beyond, as limited in 16.1.G).
