    Another consideration: I see the term "available in the US" above. The "manual rack in a MkIII Golf" defense rests on a handful of Canadian-model Golfs of that generation - which did apparently come with manual racks - being sold new at a US dealer.

    This is another of those things that I *remember* but may simply be an artifact of my 20-year-od assumptions: That we're supposed to be racing real US-model cars, and our spec lines assume that to be the case. If someone gray-markets a Euro or JDM-spec car stateside, it doesn't make it - and the parts that came on it - IT-legal. Right?

    The Golf example falls down on its own merit, I think, because that car comes with a an engine that's not on the spec line (a 1.8), so an argument can be made that it (and any different part on it) are as illegal as would be, say, the VR6.

    It's becoming clearer to me that with the VIN rule going away, it's going to be important that each of us are clear about what we are "declaring" our car to be.

    So perhaps I can review the Porsche 968 Club Sport as an option and run the gear that came from the factory? But drats - it was for sale in Europe and the UK - but several were apparetly sold by Paul Miller Porsche right here in Parsippany......hmmmm

    They only made the M-Technic in 1994 as a 325is.
