I think this is pretty much it:
16x7 98 RS wheels, Bridgestone 225/50/16 s03's
godspeed uppipe, scoobysport downpipe, straightpipe
whiteline rear sway, whiteline endlinks
sti RA springs, kyb AGX struts
axxis ultimates, goodridge lines, motul fluid
STi motor/tranny mounts
I feel like I'm forgetting something, but thats the basic stuff.

Do you notice a big gain in HP with the uppipe/downpipe? We can discuss on Sunday... Ideally I want to be able to take my dad in the quarter mile in his '95 LT-1 Vette. (305 hp) Call it a pipe dream...but I want to be able to do it and stay STX legal...that's the toughie.
We'll see!

Jay,
Just to help you avoid further complications - people who are driven to win at all costs may protest your Samco hoses...I heard that they aren't legal, but I could be wrong. Locally you shouldn't have any trouble, but going to a large event someone might get their undies in a bunch...:rolleyes:
Looking forward to seeing the car!

See the ^^^ (not all on the car part?) ;)
I try not to run illegally. I don't really think the gains I'd get from the samcos will be worth the possibility of protest (if I even drive well enough for it to matter). I have (and probably will) run the bov recirc hose and the tb hose though, they are the exact shape/size as the stock hoses.

Sorry about that! I have problems focusing...must be the parts on order! Ha!
I didn't mean it in a bad way - I wouldn't have know it if one of the Chicago STXers pointed it out on someone else's car...just trying to inform if you didn't know.
I don't really care what mods people have - mostly because they all seem to have more than me! :lol: I just like competing against WRXs instead of all the other cars. It's just more fun.

I *think* the downpipe might be illegal too. The rule reads "Multiple catalytic converters may be [B]replaced[/B] by a single unit, provided the single unit is within six inches of the original primary unit. " (My emphasis). I read this to mean only running one of the factory cats is STX illegal, as nothing was replaced. Hopefully someone could clarify (because I might change my order to use the scoobysport dp if that is legal :) )

I thought they cleared up the location, but does the Fastrack actually mention if it has to be replaced or if you just have to have any cat (including OEM) up to 6" past the exit of the last cat? I am a little confused since the rule begins with saying "High flow catalytic converters are allowed", and I am not sure if that implies that one of the n OEM cats are to be considered "High flow." Also, with the replacement wording, I read deleting (n-1) cats is not legal. What would be legal, as I read it, so to have a dedicated high flow cat replace 1 to n of the OEM cats, so long as it replaces it/them within 6" of where last OEM cat was when the car left the factory. If I am correct, even an uppipe gutting would be illegal, unfortunately, unless a high flow cat was added somewhere in the picture.

[QUOTE]7. Street Touring: The second sentence of 17.11.A.6 is clarified to read as follows:
"Multiple catalytic converters may be replaced by a single unit. The inlet of the single replacement converter may be located no further downstream than 6" along the piping flow path from the original exit of the final OE converter."[/QUOTE]
Clears all that up rather nicely. Since the inception of the original rule, it was protested as being too vague. This replacement answers any and all doubts about the rule and what it was meant to be.

Koni struts
Prodrive springs

First, thanks for explaining this to me! So you are saying that I am taking the word "replacement" too literally? Perhaps I am obtuse, but even in the clarification I am reading that a new, non-OEM cat must be present, and that deleting any cats without putting in a replacement would be illegal.
I am also curious if anyone who competes in STX has changed their boost at all. Yes, that is clearly illegal, but I was wondering if there was an viable solutions for running higher boost on the street and then changing something for AutoX. The easiest solution would be a swap-out ECU, but that is clearly not cheap. Ideas?
Oh, well, if KC can convince me you can expect me to get the Scoobysport DP instead of the Perrin :)

I think you are taking "replace" too literally. It says "[B]may[/B] be replaced", not 'must be replaced'.
Boost levels differ slightly from car to car with mods(up/dp), but boost control isn't ok in any form. I've got a MBC that I sometimes put on on the street but haven't had on for about a year. That is probably the easiest way to swap it out for autox/street. Swapping ecu's sucks IMO because it takes time for the ecu to relearn your driving style and adjust.

(Cars with) Multiple CatCons can be replaced by one CatCon.
This one replacement cat con must start no later than 6" further than where the last OEM CatCon exits. (It means this CatCon can be ANYWHERE in the exhaust stream. Want to keep the one on your uppipe and go free turbo back? It's legal. As long as when you put this new cat anywhere, it's got to start no further than 6" beyond where the last CatCon in the line was.
Maybe that helps?
Raising (or lowering) boost through any ECU or controller (profec-B/MBC, etc...) is not legal. <- note the period at the end of that line.
An MBC would be the only one that you can add and take out easily.

Okay, KC wins :). I admit the wording is still a little bit ambigious to me, but I am a novice with 0 experience interpreting such rules. I also wanted to be sure that I wouldn't spend a lot of money on something I couldn't autocross (The road-use boost control was more of a musing... I really want to get everything on my STX shopping list first).
Anyways, thanks to KC and thechickencow; the order for the Scoobysport downpipe goes in tommorrow!

Nice find. Offset bushings.... stock mounting.
Suspension bushings may be replaced with bushings of any materials (except metal) as long as they fit in the original location. Offset bushings may be used.

Wasn't my intention to make large holes in people's pockets - mostly to see what it takes to even compete in STX. DEEP POCKETS and good driving - not just deep pockets. I have been decently competitive locally with very few mods, most coming this year - last year I had 17" wheels and tires only and consistently finished 1 position out of trophies. (Usually 3 trophies) Everyone in Chicago has more mods than me (or did), so the driving makes a HUGE difference.
Just a thought I had... ;)

Well, its the car, not the driver of course.... I am just X dollars away from winning nationals *grin*. Unfortunately I have KC in my region to show me exactly how fast someone could go in roughly the same car, so I can't cling to that theory as much as I would like ;). The only thing I don't like is balancing the desire for consistency in my car to ensure that I am improving vs. the desire to get all the mods over with quickly so I get the most possible use out of them. Overall I do have to say that I really like STX and where the SCCA is going... I really like that I can show up with my daily driver, just mess a little with tire pressure, and then race. I don't know what I would do if the street tire classes were abondoned. Plus the class lets you do enough stuff to your car that you can mod it, without having to compete against people with insanely autocross prepped cars. Anyways, good thread!

Suspension bushings may be replaced with bushings of any materials (except metal) as long as they fit in the original location. Offset bushings may be used. In a replacement bushing the amount of metal relative to the amount of non-metallic material may not be increased. This does not authorize a change in type of bushing (for example ball and socket replacing a cylindrical bushing), or use of a bushing with an angled hole whose direction differs from that of the original bushing. If the Stock bushing accommodated multi-axis motion via compliance of the component material(s), the replacement bushing may not be changed to accomodate such motion via a change in bushing type, for example to a spherical bearing or similar component involving internal moving parts. Pins or keys may be used to prevent the rotation of alternate bushings, but may serve no other purpose than that of retaining the bushing in the desired position.

I've spent almost the same amount of money on the car this year as I have travelling to national events, entry fees, lodging and food for those events, up to and including nationals.
What kind of car would I have if I never did national events?
ergo...
What kind of driver would I be if I never did national events?
See? :)
Just in gas, towing the car, after nationals, it would be about $1,500 this year for fuel.
There are times I just say I wish I could drive my car to events... but being so far away from home, if something breaks? I can't get home that easily. ;)
Yeah, it's not cheap, this sport, unless you stick to local events, or just drive your car. But where's the fun in that? :D

yeah I am aware of that issue. But I don't think the ratio of metel to bushing material changes too much if at all. It really depends on how the stock bushing is constructed. If you go up to the whiteline store the catalog image does not show the external collar that you see in the first image link.

[B]G'day everyone,
I_H8_1.8, Brian is correct. The ALK incorporates a replacement low compliance caster adjusting LCA bush already. That's one of the side benefits to the kit apart from the changes to anti-lift properties.
There are a number of options in the ALK range depending on bush compliance and ride/NVH expectations. That is, you can order with a relatively soft bush, normal and extra hard motorsport. There is no objective right or wrong to this but some people find the motorsport version perfectly acceptable while the comfort version was created for those that found the normal type too harsh.
[i]As for a replacment LCA product to suit SCCA etc, we have just created part numbers and data for following:[/i]
Part # KCA375
Lower control arm-low compliance caster adj. bush +0.5 deg static. A$117.27 kit
Part # KCA375M
Lower control arm-ultra low compliance caster adj. bush +0.5 deg static - Motorsport version in BLACK. A$126.36 kit
These should be avialable in 3-4 weeks.
...
Hope that clears up all outstanding issues.
