Thanks David... I think they got the displacement incorrect for the 2012 Honda Civic Si. It should 2.4, not 2.0.

[Dave Gomberg]

You are correct. The displacement should be 2354 (that got shoved into the wheelbase which should be 2620/2670 (2dr, 4dr). It may be too late to fix that for the December Fastrack, but we'll get it the next time around. Thanks for noticing.

Can we interpret 9.1.3.D.7.a.1 to mean that cars that are listed with 15" wheels can run 14" or 13" wheels?

>> Body – All parts of the car licked by the air stream and situated above the belly / floor with exception of the roll bar or cage. (GCR Technical Glossary)

That big hole resulting from removal of the washer bottle is going to let a lot of nice cool air in from inside the fender.

Dammit, just when I start building a car that has cold air induction from outside the engine bay as stock.

[CRallo]

interesting...

[Bill Miller]

Not IT related, but I find it interesting that they threw out the 2.5 participation rule yet again to save T3, but "the CRB has no intention of returning GP to the GCR"

The BoD made the decision to retain T3 in 2012, not the CRB.

Cool...

[JohnW8]

So after all the arguing, haranging, harassment and ridicule
for the damages of rules creep, we can now legally remove our windshield washer bottle and defunct horns and use custom, non rigid driveline mounts?

Ya know, we're all starting to look a lot like congress.

[TomL]

Best bunch of rule changes I've seen in a long time. I was just about to send in what I expected to be another no-hope request to allow deletion of washer bottles, and what happens? Thank you!!

[shwah]

I don't like the motor mount rule.
I don't like the wheel rule.
I am ambivalent to the horns/washers/etc rule.
I would rather see the charcoal canister get addressed over all of these...
