1991 Civic Si STC...A/C delete...dash button removal?
Id like to remove the A/C out of my 91 Civic I run in SCCA STC, but im guessing to stay within the letter of the rules, i have to remove the AC button and replace it with the little plug of plastic that was installed on cars that didnt come with A/C. Is there anywhere I can find that part?

Actually partial removal of AC is legal. But even if it wasn't no one is going to care about an AC button.

Me too. A friend got penalized for having some universal blue breather hose from the VC to the intake tube (Stock class of course).

PCV breather hose changed in stock to a different color hose? Weenie, and I'd love to hear more details on it because I don't think it happened. |

No one is going to care that you still have an a/c button. I still have mine and have had it in my STC Civic since 2001 (when I removed the a/c system).
That protest would get laughed out of the shed. And stock class protests are a bit different in nature. |

Actual papers thrown, or e-thug posturing and chest thumping? I seen a 1000x's more of the latter than of the former.

It seems that the Nationals results pages beyond 2010 are down at the moment, so I cannot give you a link, but if they come up, for sure I will get the link for you. |

Well, believe what you would like, but he was assessed a time penalty on top of his time. If I recall, it was 1 second (which seems strange to me - I would have thought he could only have been DQ'd).

DS, cannot remember the exact year right now, but would be in the 2008/2009 range.

If a turbocharged car in a stock class, I could see the protest sticking.
As for the hood dampers... Adding the hood dampers is fine. Comfort and convenience. It was the removal of the stock hood prop that was the issue. One thing to consider is how someone could do the same thing you're thinking of doing that offers no performance advantage in a way that DOES offer a performance advantage. PCs are wary of slippery slopes. |

going to run this thread off course a little, but the least of your worry's now will be the A/C button. the real issue will be, what tire will you be running come next year? the board is looking to band the r1r in 195-50 |
