Ballasting up to minimum weights is the way to go, from autox to F1. Edit, you don't even need to remove the spare to be underweight for XSA, just run half a tank of gas, this car is pretty well poised for XSA. Last edited by strat61caster; 02-21-2020 at 11:46 AM. |

Unfortunately the powers that be still have the FR-S and BRZ on different lines so they're the same damn car but not, so you still can't run the nice looking TRD spoiler on a BRZ...

Grr. How'd I misread that. Thanks. But I still think the specific aero bits called out can move between trim levels and years without update/backdate, in whole or in part.

The BRZ, FR-S and 86 are different models. As such, BRZ parts are not "a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a US model of the" FR-S.

It's not letting me edit, but I changed my mind. Yes, it would read that you can put those tS parts on a same-year BRZ. I'm unsure of the update-backdate restrictions, though.

Correct, my previous comment said that due to a misread I can't explain. The one you quoted was states trim levels, so brz premium could run a TS wing.

So, as far as aero goes, 13+ may be one "model". 13-16, 17+ I'd confidently lump together. Almost has me curious about the performance of that wing. If I had budget. And interest. We get pretty fast courses though. Loads of third gear time. One course I stayed in for a few seconds, foot to the floor. Plus 2 other spots.

Would these mods take you out of STX?
2017 Intake Manifold w/fuel rails, injectors, etc. On a 16 brz? Upgraded driveshaft? Also per the rules isn’t running an sti chin spoiler fine, even on cars that didn’t come factory with it? (Without converting to an entire 15 series blue for example) I’ve read the rules on the above and still am not sure Reference rules on the third question F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances, side skirts, and non-functional scoops/vents is allowed provided that either: 1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a US model of the vehicle. (“Model” is defined in Section 12.) 2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for that vehicle for normal highway use. This does not allow for parts sold through a manufacturer’s performance catalog (e.g., Ford Racing, HPD, Mazdaspeed, Mopar Performance, Mugen, NISMO, SPT, TRD, etc). Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas,including weight, from alternate sources are also permitted. |

Yes to 1 and 2, looks like lip is ok per 14.F.1
Everything behind the throttle body must be stock to the car, no manifold changes regardless of what was available on the chassis on a different year or option package. No changing fueling system hardware at all. No driveshaft allowance other than a common sense repair/replacement (it certainly can't be lighter). 'Model' is hazy on whether or not years are restricted based on current rules wording, in the past it's always been thought of as a same model year option packages only as there are less obvious changes year to year on chassis that could be beneficial creating annoying 'magic year' chassis/option combos (ask old Honda guys about the differences between an 88-89-90/1 CRXs, that's not an aero thing more of an update/backdate thing). But I'm firmly in the camp that all the aero in the world isn't the reason why I suck so I'm not going to put much more thought into it. Seems like you're missing the fundamental way the solo rulebook is written, you can perform the allowances written in the rulebook, no more. |
