Good to know. Then that means I can go with a wing next year to help keep the rear planted a bit more in my "twitchy '00"

P1415 - Air Pump Sensor Low Voltage
Sounds like a bad connection in the harness. I'm going to double check the sensor and go through the harness this weekend. I cleared the code - will see if it comes back.
Also - just checked the DL1 data - 1.25-1.28g @ 95% on our local asphalt site for the course in the video posted above.

I'm getting my oilcovers this weekend. I figure I'll give the Megans a shot, got some used. Don't have the $$ to get the konis and have them valved just yet.
Divisional next weekend... so 6 runs of dialing them in.

Thinking about under-hood temperature reduction...
Since I'm coming from A-stock land where all modifications are automatically assumed to be illegal, do the ST rules allow for removal of OEM heat shields on the manifold and installation of header wrap? The rule that seems to be in opposition to this modification is 14.10.D:
At the Vail Nat'l Tour, there was discussion amongst the STU crowd about removal of the STI up-pipe heat shield. Apparently the protest committee ruled against a competitor who had removed the heat shield and heat wrapped the up-pipe.
In our instance, aftermarket headers rarely (never?) come with OEM heat shield provisions. So, is it legal to fully remove our heat shields? Maybe it would be possible to wrap the header and reinstall the heat shield. My initial guess would be that it'd be difficult to refit.
Thoughts?

I would think it would be legal to remove the header heat shield and wrap them or get a coated header, but my opion does not count for much.
I would e-mail Doug or the SEB at the SCCA for a rules question that's difficult to answer or post it on sccaforums a lot of the guy there have been in ST a long time.
edit
I never had an issue because I removed the header heat shield on the STS miata I used to have.
The rule seems gray to me.
