By themselves, the brakes would be legal for STX but not STS. The same goes for the midpipe, unless the stock catalytic convertors are used and mounted in exactly the same locations.
Things which keep you out of STX and STS: Carbon fiber hood, cams, flywheel, clutch. The midpipe is okay for STX only if it has a catalytic converter mounted within 6" of the stock location.
You can run Street Mod, or possibly Prepared.

I think posting on a public forum might give them some idea.

I third. There's no huge purses in SCCA. You race, really, to beat yourself. Cheating like this (and that is what it is) goes against everything Auto-x is about.Vanimaniac said:
Just run your bracket and have fun! Y'know?
It's a decision everyone has to make. I have a J spec cam sitting at home, but if I install it, I'll have to compete in a class that I don't want to be in. STS is hard enough as it it. And I compete w/ and against friends, so I wouldn't want to cheat. My local club is the only group that I do autoxes w/ that doesn't run classes. So, my turboed Miata friend just does those autoxes since he is not ready to even consider attempting SM2.

thats weird, they stuck me in G-stock
cat back exhaust
short ram intake
flywheel
clutch
short shifter
plugs
wires

cat back exhaust---stock legal
short ram intake----moves you to STS
flywheel---moves you to STS
clutch---depends on type
short shifter---moves you to STS
plugs---heh---irrelivant
wires---probably STS
The deciding factor is the clutch. If it's anything more than the stock equivilant it puts you in F-SP
I'm pretty sure thats right.

flywheel and clutch are both OEM mazda MSP assembliesxelderx said:
No-sorry. Flywheel is NOT legal in Street Touring (STS/STX/STU/STS2) None. And neither are the cams.xelderx said:
But hey, if you wanna cheat for that $1.00 trophy.. that's your perogative.
(Note: Only OEM replacement Flywheel and Cams are allowed.. if they're the same spec that came on your car as delievered, they'd be allowed.. any change from the spec that they were delivered, is not legal)
I just LOVE misinformation in auto-x threads.. so when you show up to events and someone says they're not legal... you b**** and moan that "you read it on the internet so it's gotta be true" and "that org sucks becuase you're right."

Ah sorry...just went back and checked and you are correct. The flywheel goes to FSP. I keep getting the rules mixed up since I've had to race the car in 3 different classes this year. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to run R compounds or not. Thanks for the correction and for sounding like my father.Imp said:
Doesn't matter. The only clutch and flywheel allowed in STS or STX is the OEM or OEM replacement part for your specific vehicle. You can't stick MSP parts in an MP3 any more than you could stick them in an RX-8.TXMazdaSpeeder said:
Plugs and wires are routine maintenance and are irrelevant, even in Stock.
