Modified- class 5.2.2 Section C
Model, which would be Evo 8 03-05, and not Evo 9 though they have the same chassis..CT9A

RTA rule is loosely define for the engine rule in even Modified. 03-05 model is Evo8 but Evo7-9 is still a CT9A chassis. Meaning only the IX should have a Mivec motor. Unless motor update falls into update/backdate rule for whole "chassis". Just like backdate/update engine does for SCCA SP. But seeing as a Modified FWD class EF hatch has GSR motor I'm going to say Evo9 motor in Evo8 is legal for Modified class but not Tuner..
My car is classed as a IX, not an VIII.

Just those 2 things that stand out to me. I'm sure you didn't have bad intentions doing Tuner Class the last 2 times. Just pointing it out and being that there were no entries it wasn't a big deal.

5.1.10 B - Commerically available chin spoilers and air dams designed for street use are permitted.

My spiltter is commerically available and it stays on the car 24/7. Its not something I take on and off when I get to the track.

I think its funny you're so butt hurt about people giving you all kinds of **** you have to go looking around the internet reading rules & regs of orgs you'll never compete in so you can try to find some way of discrediting someone elses accomplishments to make you feel better about yourself.

If you think my car isn't legal for the class why don't you sign up for the next RTA event and protest me. Oh wait, that won't happen cause all you do is run your mouth, not your car.

Sorry I don't memorize other peoples times/setups like you do. All I know is I remember you saying FA was helping you 'setup' the car by tweaking the suspension settings after one session then the alignment after another, but when I saw the results you were still in DFL with the same slow time. That tells me the driver is the one who needs tweaking, not the car.

Maybe if you spent more time focusing on your own business instead of other peoples setups/times you wouldn't be so slow around a race track.
