I like Cupholders to and it's only 2 bolts. When I'm going to track days I usually just get everything in bottles /cans and use the doors. Your other option is pretty much a metal bar and bolting to the passenger seat rails without having to drill holes. They usually take about 5 minutes to make. Mightycarmods did a video recently about making one. If you have a drillbit, drill and a marker You can make one. Just get a steel offcut the size you want from a local fab shop.

Who sells a cup holder mount? I was looking at some posts and it looks like it bolts on from the top? I could work with that if so.

I'm sure someone sells mounts but I'm not sure who. The extinguisher uses the two bolts below the cup holders. My suggestion would be to find an extinguisher that comes with the bracket then go to whatever your local hardware stores are and find the right material that'll fit your car. Just decide If you want to go the centreconsole route or the seat route.

Been doing quite some googling today. Can't find anything useful, everything is custom made.

Best I saw was STM Fire Extinguisher but its New Zealand only. It's expensive and probably would cost twice as much to ship.

Other than that I got nothing.

Anyone ??

Also I drive to my events I like my cup holder ^_^ If it is easy to bolt on and off sure but if I have to remove the center to reach the back side I'd rather not.

The regulation is



Did some looking around, only premade one I see is the STM one but its from NZ...


I didn't realize they upped the requirement this year. That kinda sucks if you're in a street car.


The one I originally used for the Vette was a Brey-Krause unit. It bolted between the seat and slider and tucked the bottle under your calves or same spot on the passenger side depending on where you can reach.


Generally speaking, you want it somewhere you can get it while belted in, just in case.

STX, assuming they're not lighter or smaller than stock.

Lighter is fine (else the AP Sprint wouldn't be legal)

Diameter and thickness are the key dimensions, noted here (14.6 A in the rulebook):

Quote:
Non-standard brake rotors may be used provided they are of equal or larger dimensions (diameter and thickness) and made of ferrous material (e.g., iron). Thickness includes the individual plates of a vented rotor, as well as the overall dimension. The diameter for replacement rotors is measured at the minimum outside dimension. Aluminum rotor hats are allowed. Cars originally equipped with solid (non-vented) rotors may utilize vented rotors. Cross-drilled and/or slotted brake rotors may be fitted provided all such voids are within the disc area and comprise no more than 10% of that area. Brake calipers and mounting brackets may be replaced provided they bolt to the standard locations and the number of pistons is equal to or greater than standard. A functioning emergency brake of the same type, operation, and actuation as OE must be present. Drum brakes may be replaced with disc brakes of a diameter equal to or greater than the inside diameter of the standard drum. Such conversions must be bolted, not welded, to the axle/trailing arm/upright and must include an integral, redundant emergency brake. Changes to backing plates/dust shields/brake lines to accommodate these changes are permitted but may serve no other purpose.

Correct, wrong wording. I meant to say smaller.

Oem aero
I can't do much about it in my class, but the options I have is this.
Oem GT86/BRZ wing vs TRD duck tail wing.
So my question is, is there any solid info on any off those 2 has the best (if any) possible effects on downforce/drag if any.
I know it's most likely, nothing at all

OEM wing makes 1,5kg on downforce thanks to its weight :p

It's ugly and useless.

It does reduce drag ever so slightly if I remember right.
