0 '17 86s in DS because they're classed in CS
About 30 or so mk1.0 cars making up half the DS field @imnotsureaboutbrz nothing will change about the classing because you'd have to prove that the '17 cars are no faster than the early cars to bump them down a class. The data doesn't exist to support a change. Just because a car doesn't show up doesn't mean it's improperly classed otherwise you'd see a bunch of cars nobody runs jumping classes all the time due to having only a few data points for reference. There simply aren't many '17 cars out there yet, most serious autocrossers got a taste of the early cars and decided whether or not to stick with them, the '17 wasn't going to change any minds and I guarantee they will be produced in fewer numbers so they will be rare in SCCA unless they get reclassed as an overdog. I was playing with the idea of picking up a cheap street class car, one of the more attractive options is running a Boxster or Z3 in CS, <$10k buy in for a 6 cylinder roadster, might stand a chance on the faster courses if the lack of camber doesn't leave them hanging out to dry on the sweepers... |

A lot. Over half the field is Twins. There are 58 cars in DS, and I got to 32 before my browser on my phone jumped and I lost my spot. Decided I didn't wanna start over. I'd guess around ~35

@justinco and his codriver are the only guys running a 2017 MY Brz in STX.
FYI he's 25th out of 58 after the first day! |

CS was a shark tank this year.
I really liked the the east course but just couldn't quite put it together over there. I was not looking forward to the west course but ended up getting the run I wanted there. (More or less) -Would have liked to get a twin deeper into the trophies but my driving was stuck somewhere between "not bad" and "pretty good" when a lot of my competition was busy being AWESOME. |

Does anyone know the stiffness of the front TRD bar compared to stock? I can't find a number on it besides diameter, which isn't enough to calculate stiffness without knowing the arm length.

I don't remember the actual percentages, but I do remember that the front bar increases stiffness considerably more than the rear bar.

Made a couple suspension changes for day 2. Had more confidence in the car and was able to drive it good enough for a decent come back. Happy with the trophy! With better driving, a better result is achievable for sure. Time to start prepping for 2018

I'm also looking at getting a front bar but wondering if it'd be better to get the koni's set up like I want first, then retweak when the bar is on. Or throw konis and an adjustable front bar together and work it out that way. |

I broke the rule of changing lots of things before the biggest annual event, and my car felt great but was a little unfamiliar to me because of the changes I made. I think I'm now in the boat of getting the car how it should be, then make incremental shock, bar setting, tire pressure changes to get where it suits me best. I just need to find the money for the fancy shocks. |

When I ran the TRD springs and sways, the car understeered. I ended up using the TRD rear bar and an ST front bar on the soft setting.
