Topic: Questions about Rule 4.2.1
So the rule:
"4.2.1: Beside the items and processes listed in Section 3, the following are considered safety-related and therefore exempt:
Wheels, tires, wheel bearings, balljoints, and brake components
Exhaust systems downstream of the header/exhaust manifold (NOTE: Turbos and related components are NOT exempt from the $500 limit. Nice try.)
Windshields and wipers.
Driver comfort & information (steering wheel, shifter, gauges, pedals, cool suits, vents, heaters, radio)
All fuel hoses, fuel fittings, fuel filters, and related mounts
All fuel-system components upstream of the fuel pump, including tanks/cells, mounts, fillers, vents, etc. (NOTE: Fuel pumps, carburetors, injection pumps, computers, and individual injectors are NOT exempt from the $500 limit.)"
Does this mean?:
You could for instance have, forged wheels, Brembo / stoptech / endless brakes, Custom titanium exhaust, carbon seat etc?
Basically because these are listed as safety items could you get away with nicer parts and not be hit with BS laps? Or is this a grey area matter?
TIA
