The STi manufactured engine mounts are STX legal. So is the pitch mount if I read the rules correctly. Tranny mounts are still illegal.

I've got a lightened/underdrive pulley... I think it has to do with the false-misfire CEL's I'm getting, but it helps a little with low-end power.

Steering rack bushings are illegal in STX. Clutch/flywheel is illegal too IIRC. Underbraces are illegal if they connect one side of the car to the other, or if they require the removal or relocation of the stuck U-brace thingy. And I'm not sure if the rear bushings/lock bolts are legal or not... depends on if you can considering them suspension bushings or not. I'm thinking not... which means I'll have to take mine out. Which sucks, because I didn't really notice much of a performance benefit, just no more clunking under hard shifts. Just another one of those lame SCCA rules things... it costs like $10 and help prolong the life of the rear diff w/o really making your car faster, yet it's illegal.
