They just look for loose items, floor mats removed, make sure the battery is secured, wheel bearings are in decent condition, brake pedal is firm, that sort of thing. It's not that involved, just basic stuff

I'll be there, bringing the Legacy Manwagon. Pretty sure I'm in ST. Come say hi, I'm the guy with flatirons tuning buffalo stickers on the mirrors and colorado plates.
Looking forward to the event!

I have a quick question about upgrades within your class (D-stock). You know how a stock 2002 WRX differs from a stock 2011 WRX? (IE. more power, better springs, etc.) Can you program a 2002 up to the amount of stock power of a 2011 or upgrade your springs/struts to be the equivalent of a 2011 WRX? I looked a little in the rule book but didn't find much on this.
Gracias in advance.

Technically with the ALK you are in a prepared class (FP to be specific). If I were you i'd run T2-OSP. T2 is our local street tire class for street prepared and mod cars, and OSP stands for open street prepared. It's also a local class and you can do anything you want as long as it's street registered lol.
Maybe I'll just run STU-FUN and forget about points.

Is there a way to have a tune so that you boost early without increasing the boost ceiling? Sorry, these are a few questions i've had for a while but didn't have the answer to.

Stock class you can't do anything to the ecu. Only stock reflashes from the dealership would be allowed.
Street touring you can alter the ecu and change timing and fuel. Can't touch the boost tables. Mechanical boost increase from like a dp would be legal though.
Yea ALK gets pretty much EVERYONE when they come out to autox lol. FP is F prepared. You don't want to run your sti in that class. W're talkin fully gutted not streetable at all.
