Yes, STi catalog stuff is not legal.

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the part just before it (that I quoted), stating that parts "listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog" are legal, hence why I have a 2017 Subaru BRZ accessory catalog showing the lip kit.

Anybody have any tips on pressing out bushing in spc rear lower control arm and installing diftech bushing?

[strat61caster]

If you don't havea a drill press or vice a local machine shop can probably do it in <15 minutes for<$75

[Victarion]

Appreciate it yeah I ended up getting it out with vice was just harder press out than I thought would be.

I’ll be installing adjustable coil overs. I’m assuming I need to put the side pieces in my trunk to avoid illegal weight loss. How do you get access to adjust your shocks. Do you notch the panels.

You may notch the panels according to Section 13 in the Street Category which carries forward into Street Touring. Here is the quote:

13.1 AUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS
If a modification is not specifically authorized in this or previous Sections of these Rules, it is not allowed.
The addition of small holes for attachment hardware for authorized modifications is implicit (e.g., holes for fasteners to mount additional gauges, holes for brackets to mount shock absorber remote reservoirs). However, these holes may serve no other purpose.

also see this section in the rules too:

F. Spare tires, tools, and jacks may be removed. Any fastening hardware and/or other pieces that can no longer be firmly secured in the absence of the spare tire may be removed if necessary to ensure compliance with
76 — 2021 SCCA® National Solo® Rules
13. Street Category
Section 3.3.3.B.1, Safety Inspection Requirements.

I'm pretty sure that you're covered between the two.

You do need the foam bits, but not the cover, tools, not spare and mounting hardware.

I just push the flap to the side, no need to cut anything.

[Autoenthusiastasm]

Just pushing the flap back was all I needed for the install, no need to remove panels. Thanks

Really fun battle at the Vegas Tour this weekend.

Not sure if Kate or Jonathan Mudge post here but I had a great time despite dirty runs both days.

Anyone tried out the new Kumho V730’s? It’s way cheaper than Yoko’s. But will it come close to being a competitive tire?

V730 was plenty fast. S2k in my class running it and he's consitently laying down fast times.

My co-driver and I tried out the new Kumho tires this past weekend. We did back-to-back testing with the Yokohama tires, same course, same conditions.

On a 40 second course, asphalt, in 55 degree weather, the Yokohama tires were faster for us. We had some trial and error issues with tire pressures for the Kumho tires, but we felt we had it set petty well after four runs for each of us driving.

We'll try them out again in our next event and see how they compare.

I don't think Mudge is on here that I have seen, but I race w/ him in Montana when I go out there from MN.
