we all thought you was workin. come out to july 10th one.

 

There's one on July 10? Wooh...

 

Yeah, a more spectator type event at that. I'll be running!

 

if you have on your suspension parts, you might be in SM. gotta check the rule book.

 

What suspension components do you have???

All STI's should move to SM! Joey will be moving back by end of season, I think. Tim is moving to SM this year.

Just remember, once you put on an ALK, even w/o anything else, you're in SM. Once you mod Boost, your in SM. Once you mod your piping, you're in SM.

ok sm for me then...damn it....

 

you don't remember me calling you that day of the cruise and reminding you....getting old jon hahahahah...

 

Actually, the ALK is not SM legal because it changes the suspension mounting point (or so it has been decided by the SCCA powers-that-be). I think that's a pretty crappy interpretation of the rules, but whatevah.

I don't know if you were there, but I made an announcement at the driver's meeting probably 6 months or so ago that I had a mod that I had discovered was no longer SM legal, and if any SM runners wanted me to change classes just let me know. The mod in question was my ALK. I still have the ALK on there, and if anyone ever got picky about it I would just buy the offset bushings that accomplish the same thing and are legal (because they use the stock bushing housing - dumb, right?).

Pat, you are correct. My apologies for forgetting about the change in 05. The stupid thing is that all you have to do is run a bushing kit and you will be SM legal. Don't worry though, it's all good. Everyone in Hawaii is cool w/ this mod. It will not make you that much quicker, in comparison to running fresh race rubber. What a stupid ruling.

Its been about 18 years or so since I last autocrossed, and since moving from FWD to AWD, I really want to try it again. I really hate to chew up my everyday tires and am looking to get a second set of wheels w/tires more suited for autocross before I start again. I used to run Yokohama A008Rs back in the day in D stock, does changing to a similar tire put you into the next class with the STi? I don't know about the current classifications much, but what class does the STi run totally stock?

 

so who here is running an ALK anyway???

 

diego, go for it....

 

^^^ditto

 

^^^i called you up....

 

here it is, hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did, man it was nice on a hot day!!
