Greg Fordahl seemed very unconcerned about the whole incident when I took the car in for him to check everything out (and he fixed the dang intake so it doesn't implode again!)Thanks again Des for your help on site and letting me take one of my runs in your car!
Now to decide on Nationals codriver(s)...

On a cool note the carbon tubing would flow better then the k&n tubing and the whole intake would weight around 3lbs vs. 10 lbs for the k&n one.
how so? the k&n is smooth on the inside. I dont see how airflow could get any better.
Yep, smooth as a silk. I don't think the K&N weighs 8-10lb's... but I certainly could be wrong. All the weight is in the box. However, I can't imagine the box weighing more than 4lbs.
As I'd said before, I'd just purchase some pre-preg carbon fiber, wrap the box, put it in the oven, and you're done. Not that hard... now I just need to find some money.

I think the problem with mounting the CR lip on an AP2 bumper is that the CR bumper comes with the holes pre-drilled already. Argument for not being legal is the fact that you have to drill holes on the AP2 bumper and therefore is not the same mounting procedure as factory/ factory manual.

We are both in ap1s but alot of ap2s are like that too. It's to transition fast and keep the rear wheels on the ground

Thats pretty cool! Perfect example of how power mods don't make that much of a time difference. It's all about grip

Would having a CR lip on my car put me out of STR? I was hoping the first post of this thread had info for what was and wasn't allowed but I didn't find that.
Just my interpretation of the new rule.
F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances,
side skirts, and non-functional sccops/vents is allowed provided that
either:
82 — 2011 SCCA NATIONAL SOLO RULES
1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a
US model of the vehilcle
2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for
that vehicle for normal highway use.
Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas
(including weight) from alternate sources are also permitted.

I really don't see how you wouldn't be able to do the CR bumper on an AP1... its OEM on a US model of the vehicle. It's is no different than allowing it on an ap2. there are no body differences other than the bumpers and lights, so it would fit fine... and its the same make and model.

I believe the new rule is "any factory bumper may be used" So a CR front bumper with the holes for the lip would be legal, so I would think drilling the holes in the base bumper would meet the intent of the rule. The factory shop manual for the '08 would give you the instructions for installation, meeting one of the criteria for the new rule. I don't believe you can add an AP2 bumper to an AP1 or vice versa, due to other panels on the car being different.

I'm assuming the problem would become that you could be protested for not using the reinforced CR truck.
(Differences noted here: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/863...nd-trunk-info/ )
I'm not sure those reinforcements to the trunk skin can be added after the factory. Obviously the little black reinforcements would be easy to add, but I'm not sure about everything else.
