as posted in the January edition of Fast Track

Short and sweet, 1. Non-reclining seats are now legal, as long as the seat its self weighs at least 15 pounds. and 2. Motor mounts can now be changed. (not that any one makes motor mounts for a D17).

From the book:

Solo II Street Touring Category
- The followin previously-published proposals, revised here to reflect that Street Touring is now Section 14, are being recommended to the BOD:
ITEM 2) Effective 1/1/2004, change 14.2.B to read as Follows: "The driver and front passenger seats may be replaced, with the following restrictions: the seating surface must be fully upholstered: The top of the seat, or and attached headrest, may not be below the center of the driver's head. The seat, not including mounting hardware, mush weigh at least 15 pounds."
ITEM3 Effective 1/1/2004, add the following as the new contents of section 14.10.G: "Engine mounts may be replaced, but must attach in the factory location(s) with out additional modification or changes. Engine position may not be changed. The amount of metal in a replacement mount may not be increased relative to the amount of metal found in a stock mount for the particular application. Solid metal mounts are specifically prohibited. Any non-metalic inserts may be used. Hydraulic shock type rear engine locators, or bobble struts may be replaced by manufacturer's performance part, or aftermarket replacement part. This part must retain Factory dimentions and attachment pints, including factory design. (example: if factory locator/bobble strut is gas or hydraulic pistion type, replacement part must be gas or hydrulic pistion type. no solid mounts may be substituted.)"

thanks for the update. none of that pertains to me, but cool!

^^thanx!! I was wondering about motor mounts. Cause I'm gonna try an event or two this year but I have polyed mounts. Glad they are accepting that now!!


a lil OT but ....

for filled mounts you can buy the poly mix at home depot and DIY some filled mounts. Thats what we've all been doing with ours since celicas have a poor aftermarket.
