Would have been nice to run the Mazdaspeed wing...

I'm doing my research now and depending on a few different scenarios it could happen this season. BTW, I believe you may now have something that will help with that decision. Congrats!

New solo rules are out (DRAFT!!!)
http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/...raft_1-12r.pdf
And according to 13.9.a
The BHR ignitions kits should be legal again (I assume they mount to the stock points)
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Again this is just a draft!

They banned additional mounting brackets in a fast track that made it again illegal.

Perhaps now they just clarified it a bit.

Section 13.9A:
Substitution or addition of ignition coil mounting brackets is permitted,
provided they affix to the original standard location and serve no
other purpose.

The BHR kit was always legal. They are simply clarifying the language to communicate that changes to other OE components are not allowed. This has always been the case, but it was implied rather than stated. Even then a clarification can always be challenged. It does not disallow or prevent a protest. It is just an opinion that a Protest or Appeals Committee may not agree with depending on the information at hand. The earlier opinion was changed due to it representing a rule change. It was just a flawed opinion relative to what the allowance permitted, nothing more.

Wings vs. Wings
So can you run an APR wing, but not a MazdaSpeed one?

So, well, section 14 of the 2012 rules reads in part "In particular, some leeway in the area of bodywork allowances (e.g., wings/spoilers beyond those allowed in 14.2.F) is encouraged at Regional Solo events." (section 14.2.F being the one that specifically outlaws MazdaSpeed parts).
So can you run an APR wing, but not a MazdaSpeed one?

14.2.F states that the mazdaspeed wing is not "listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for that vehicle for normal highway use." So under strict order of the rules it is illegal, any other aftermarket would would be illegal as well (this includes the APR wing). The only legal wing for the RX8 would be the one from the appearance package.

I need some clarification cause I am getting confuscus with all the rules. I will state my mod list and what I know is ilegal and then my question:
AEM intake
BHR ignition
BHR midpipe (not legal...needs CAT)
ACT Flywheel
ACT Clutch (not legal...need to return to stock)
Greddy Exhaust
Forgestar 18x10 (not legal...cannot be wider then 9 inches)
Cobb AP
Koni yellows
Tein S-Techs
Suspension: I thought I read somewhere that you are not allowed to have coilovers with a remote resevoir for STX...It sounds like I am obviously mistaken?
If I go Turbo then what class would that move me to? BSP? Could I keep the above non-legal components in BSP?
I'm still trying to make heads or tails of the rules.
