If you remove the rear crash beam or lighten it by more than 1 pound then you go to XP. If you can fit the stock rear beam with the JDM bumper, then you are allowed to play in SM. Any way you slice it, that mod makes your car far too fast for BSP.

How about modifying crash beams basically replacing with lighter units?

Replacing altogether or modding is a no-no. . .

The 1lb allowance is for SM, not BSP. SP has no such general allowance.

not sure how much material I've have to remove from the bumper support but I could always ADD weight to it so its less then 1 pound lighter.

It would be cool if you could make it down to some of the LA area events.
I really want to make it to El Toro this year so you might just get to see the GST powered killer whale evo in action!

Can the throttle body be modified or changed? I am reading the rules from 08 and it says carburetor, intake manifold, fuel injection is unrestricted. This leads me to include the throttle body, is that correct?

You're correct Mike.

I am picking up my Evo today, so, I am now thinking about BSP preperation. ;-) So, what offset would you guys recommend for an 18x9.5 with 285/30/18's? I assume rolling the fenders is a must with the 9.5? I would prefer to use spacers for the front if needed in order to keep my front/rear wheels the same offset so I can easily swap front/rear if desired.

Also, I assume -3.0 degree's of camber is about right to start off for the front and maybe -1.5 in the rear?

Thanks for any input

First event is coming up...

- Hoosiers came in today (285/30/18)
- Buying wheels soon (18x10.5)
- Boost has been tuned a bit by Cobb
- Rolling fenders this weekend

I'm excited to see the difference between street tires and r-comps. I still wish I had a better UICP, but oh well. And I think that I'm going to rub, rub, rub all the live long day
