Hey Rotary Titus,
That Ti grey 8 was mine, just bought it a week ago. Lol, the tires are looking freakin new aren't they! Only have 500 km on it so far, so you will see it next auto x in January running rather than sitting looking preety!
I was impessed seeing so many 8's there, was that your friend in the black 8, looking at the results he took 2nd place overall...thats awesome.
I had to leave early for a photoshoot, next time we will have to chat more!

that'd be great! I've been taking bad pics with my old camera
Nope we haven't and yea if we do ANYTHING it'd take us out of bstock
only thing we can do is ONE sway bar (ppl say go with the rear since it helps with wheel hop at launch but also makes the car more prone to oversteer).
But I heard they voted to go with the new SCCA rules for next yr and my wheels might kick me out of the category since it says wheels must be same size as OEM. Mine's OEM 18x8" but then the offset's different by 12mm so I still gotta ask around.... oh well we're just there to go nuts regardless of class anyway :D

6.35 mm (.25 in) is the max offset differential. Also on swaybars... in Stock, you can only do the front sway bar. Rear cannot be touched. However, your car would be a good fit for the STU class.
The SCCA is going to put their rules on-line this year, so it'll make referencing them much easier in discussions like this.
Why do they want to go to SCCA rules when you guys have some rules already?

dang.... so next yr no matter what I can't be in stock class anymore with my new wheels....
thanks for the info on the sway bars!
They actually held a vote on it a few weeks ago and for one reason or another, they wanted to stick with SCCA... perhaps just following the bigger dog?

Corrections: this year's Seattle Tour is being held in Packwood, WA rather than in Bremerton -- we have a new site in Packwood which is far superior to Bremerton. Also, the dates are July 23 and 24, not August.
