Remember that you are thinking behind the EVO X and not older models...

I tried this back in 2012 thinking I could use it as a street tune.

tl;dr: almost no difference.

I need to replace some aging suspension bushings.

Are any of the rear bumpsteer correction offset bushings legal for STU?

Registration for Solo Nats opens on Tuesday, who's in for this year?

I'm in for the Pro Finale (if I can get a spot in Tier 2) and Nats.

Technically not an SCCA member at the moment, but definitely want to put together a letter about the Mini S not being a good fit for STU... helloooo course dependency.

You can still just supply your old member number (it doesn't really change) and send it with it. If they return it, you know what to do!

so the latest fasttrack is looking at allowing aftermarket intercoolers for just STH - i genuinely don't think the cars need them in autox (track yes) but i do not understand the rationale to allow for STH but not other ST* classes

I haven't followed the STH intercooler proposal. Is it intended for a specific STH-classed car that has intercooler problems? Seems strange to pick a single ST* class for a targeted mod like that.

I also don't think an intercooler would help much for autocross. I'd gladly take the allowance now that I'm also using the car for track days in 100F weather, though.

In STU, I'd still prefer a clutch allowance more than anything else at this point.

yea weak plastic ends for the fiesta st's i believe. i agree though, not needed for autox from a performance standpoint. i can spray all day long between runs. on the track though...

At STU mod levels, I wouldnt take the weight hit of putting anything beefier in an Evo so seems irrelevant to me. Alternate boost control methods definitely seems like it needs to be open if they are to give SC open pulleys though.
