NIICE!

I wish I could stay class legal and run any of the J's aero goodies I have seen pics of that pink fit with allllll of the J's bits on it before on the net! IIRC it's boosted? Thanks for sharing I'm hoping to make an actual track day or two this year, once I go through the still OEM brakes

 

Dat J's Lip.

 

SO Jelly.... had the option to pick one up several times now, but my local officials confirmed it would bump me classes so I had to pass

STILL the hands down best lip on a GD

 

Why would it bump you classes? Its not like it really improves performance.

 

You are 100% correct. The amount of downforce that lip could possibly generate would be entirely negligible at <60mph AutoX speeds. The full CF version MIGHT be lighter than the OEM Sport lip but the rules let you just pull it off if weight is the concern:

"14.2 BODYWORK
F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances,
side skirts, and non-functional sccops/vents is allowed provided that
either:
1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a
US model of the vehicle. "Model" is defined in section 12.3.
82 — 2012 SCCA® National Solo® Rules
2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog
for that vehicle for normal highway use. This does not allow for
parts sold through a manufacturer’s performance catalog (e.g.,
Ford Racing, HPD, MazdaSpeed, Mopar Performance, Mugen,
NISMO, SPT, TRD, etc).
Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas
(including weight) from alternate sources are also permitted."

This is the rules section in question, and according to it I can only run either the Sport model lip, OR remove all of it to save weight

There is a specific line in the begging of the section that I hoped would clear me by talking to my local "officials" :

"Under the provisions of Section 1.1 of these rules, Regions are free
to allow any other version of the ST concept which meets their local
needs. In particular, some leeway in the area of bodywork allowances
(e.g., wings/spoilers beyond those allowed in 14.2.F) is encouraged at
Regional Solo® events."

BUT, they came back with a negatory response, so no J's for me T_T
