Hey, The last 2 AutoX event's i've been running in STU. I have 275/35R18 azenis all around on RPF1's 18x9.5 One guy came up to me today and told me that I was supposed to be in STX, but i'm pretty sure the limit for STX is 265's? Which would put me in STU. I also have sway bars, and an exhaust. Was he wrong in saying I should be in STX?

 

You are both correct. For 2009, the RX8 is allowed to run in STU or STX. To move down to STX, you would have to get 9" wheels and 265's, but you wouldn't have to chase Evo's and STI's anymore.

Note that carbon fiber hoods are not legal in either class, so you might be in SM.

 

^Yeah that is what I thought. I don't mind running with the Evo's and STi's though, I enjoy it. And I will now be switching out for my OEM hood because I will be staying in STU this season, it will be a PITA, but I would rather not run against the STi's on Slicks in SM. Thanks for the help!

 

Just curious... how have you done in that class? Nice setup!

 

^Well I guess it just depends on your region. Currently, after 2 events so far this season, I am first in STU. But I am sure that against the well preped Evo's and STi's, it would be much more of a competition.
