Chris M, member 5976, renewing #47. Thank you!

I believe the follow paragraph from page 74 of the 2024 SCCA Solo Rulebook applies to your question regarding the exhaust: Option package conversions may be performed between specific vehicles of a particular make and model, but only between configurations from within a particular model year. Such conversions must be totally complete and the resultant car must meet all requirements of this Section. These re- quirements are not met by simply pulling a fuse to disable a feature which distinguishes one model from another. I believe this would be considered legal, however everything else about the California modification would need to be converted back to 49 State car. This would be to follow the rules as written by the SCCA, however locally if you discussed some fellow local WSCC stock class competitors about only swapping the exhaust I don't think you would have any problems as there likely no performance gain from missing out on removing additiional California specific items, unique EGR, maybe? There's nothing in our local rules that would restrict US cars from competition either, however if you planned to run at an offical national SCCA event this could be a problem, hope that helps. Regarding the wheels, your wheels are based on what the car originally came with from Mazda. For example if a 2000 Miata Sport (not sure which model you have) came with 14x6 +42mm offset. You could run a 13x6, 14x6 or 15x6 wheel. Offset can be +/- 7mm from the OEM size as well to accommodate some wheel models. Wheel width however cannot change from the originals wheels the car sold with new. You cannot pick and choose from any other Miata year or model to select a wheel size. 15x6 with 205/50/15 tires is like the most cost effective, best performing and most common wheel setup available for ES Miatas that came with 14x6, 15x6 or 16x6 wheels. Regarding the 110-178hp Miatas on 14 to 17" wheels comment all running in the same class. SCCA car classing offers every car a class to participate, this however does not guarantee all cars will be competitive in their respective class. Hope that helps!

The correct class would be SSM-S if the tires are 200TW or higher. Locally we allow imported cars not originally sold in North America to run in Street Modified. Other clubs would be E-Modified.

Thank you for posting. Will we have live results at events this year? If so can you confirm the link.

Selling a pair of rear Koni yellow shocks for any 2006 to 2013 Honda Civic (including SI models) One of the rebound adjusters is seized, the other is free, otherwise was working fine. Asking $50.

This roll centre kit would push you from STH to SMS (Street Modified on Street tires)

All the mods would be legal for the Street Touring group. The Genesis fits into STU specifically. This assumes you still have 1 catalytic converter in the car, the rules allow the removal of one if 2 were originally present.

@Scott The +1 -1 rule is based on the car's original wheel package size. In your example you could go 18 19 or 20in in diameter (width must always be the same in street). In order to use a 17" wheel legally based on the SCCA Street rules you would be need to replace any and all R3 trim spefic pieces with a trim that has the 17" wheel. This rule is in place to prevent people making Frankenstein cars that never existed from the factory. That being said locally, I really don't think there's much of an issue or a huge performance difference between rx8 models to warrant you not using 17's especially considering the cost difference in tires between those sizes! As long as the 17 wheels are the correct stock width and +/- 8mm in offset I would say ask fellow street competitors if they are ok with and try pursuing it.

The interior gutting would automatically put you in the prepared category. The RX-8 fits into the F class of prepared. Your class would be FPS under the modified group if using the 200 or 300tw tires, hower the 120tw tires would class you in the mixed group under FP.
