I get the tranny mounts language :) and oil pan baffling (I wonder who is requesting this?)- I'm not getting what exactly they're after w/ the intake language :confused:

Folks with oil starvation problems requested oil starvation solutions - think Celica, BMW E30 M3's, etc.

Intake wording was proposed to fix a couple of loopholes and address new technologies (i.e. Valvetronic from BMW which has no t-body) as well as preserve the intent of the original intake rule which was to support the installation of Cold Air intakes. This was lost during a re-write of the rule (which did not go out for member comment) in '04.

This new wording continues to allow intake plumbing replacements but restricts FI hardware replacements (i.e. Mass Air Sensors, MOAD's, AFM's, EGR spacers, etc.). There's been a fair amount of discussion on this in the SCCA forums...

Still a noob, can't post URL's....

On the SCCA website under "SCCA Garage" - includes current and all back issues

Thanks- look like all good suggestions then. I'll email them w/ my thoughts- hopefully tranny mounts and steering rack bushings will be on the "list" for next year :)
