Parts Catalogue Up

[Locust]

So what's the word STX folks? What swaps? What doesn't? How far along an ST build can you get with a current STX setup swap?

Unless your competing nationally and more on the pointy end, no one will care. (Or shouldn’t care)

Hell. Some clown had loovers and “aero” bits on a SSC car at Lincoln this year. No clue why no one didn’t protest that one, at-least for the very reason it was hideous LOL

Not sure if you're joking, poking fun at him, or just don't know who he is... But that "clown" is a JCJ Cup champion and is considered a top caliber/national champion quality driver. The louvre thing is a bit of a running joke/troll. No one has thrown paper yet so the fame/infamy is open if you want to be the guy.

Nothing swaps except for louvers.

The rules clearly state dealer installed accessories must be listed in the appendix to be legal, and your order sheet lists the STI lip kit as dealer installed.

The STI aero parts aren't legal until there's a US spec car with them out of the factory like the series blue. The end.

Did the ST rules change on the STi aero parts in the last year or so? I ran the STi front lip on my 2017 BRZ and won a National Pro Solo, plus trophied at Nats, with it. It was legal then and there was big thread/debate on here about it at the time.

The rules stated if the part came from a "Performance catalog" it was not legal. But, the STi parts were in the "Accessory catalog" so it was good lol. I'm sure I still have the emails I had with Doug to clarify the rules, as I kept it all with me (including the accessory catalog) in case I needed data to counter a protest (which never happened).

Anyways, I don't care too much now, but the STi aero parts were legal in ST, at one point in time at least. I haven't kept up with the rules the past couple years, so if things changed, then obviously this is old news.

Series Blue was a thing for the earlier cars and the tS was a thing for the 2017+ so you were legal.

Some teardown of the front bumper, may come in handy later...

Warning, look away when they cut the wires midway in the video.

Still 6.7 million little plastic clips holding the bumper on. I could absolutely see myself doing this exact mod though, the stock horn is the worst.

So it means it's also going to sag over time?

Hey, welcome back.

I don't know where to ask in this forum, but know we have a few autocrossers in this post... What size tire would you guys run for street class? I was thinking about throwing some 235/45/17 RT660's on the stock wheels for the first season until it gets classed for ST. Curious what you guys are thinking.
