What is the intent of allowing alternate intake manifold? All this will do is create odd pairings that from a scruitneering standpoint sounds like a nightmare.

You can mix-and-match parts within the same car/engine, and you're allowed to use the intake from either the car or the installed engine. - GAOriginally Posted by quadzjr

that rule is pretty damned nitt-picky. the NB is really 1 chassis with some updates and different spec engines (3 of them IIRC). not cool.

That, and there's absolutely zero basis in the regulations for that "clarification". Regs state "make and model". One can legitimately argue that "Mazda Miata" is one model, however I'd counter that manufacturer chassis designations are more relevant. In that case, I'd consider a "model" the NA, NB, and NC(?) chassis.
But different years within the NB model are considered different cars? Where in the regs does it say that? Or even imply that? Had that been run through the STAC I would have voted against recommending it to the CRB.
Gotta love POOMA rules "clarifications"...protest-worthy, if you ask me. - GA

So, SOMEBODY, made a specific rule, for a clearly specific reason, tat goes against teh basic precepts and previously used philosophies AND they get the facts wrong???
I'd start by looking at a list of CRB guys who have a non Miata in ST....or have a buddy with the same, sorry to say.

Does a "Member Advisory" carry any real weight?
