Why the headlights? i thought all that mattered were HP mods.

I thought headlights worked like debadging the car; technically illegal, but noone cares....

Anyways. Keith, your car came stock with 16x6.5's, not 17x7's, so they're not stock even though they're Subaru wheels....

*Everything* matters, with a very limited number of exceptions.

It's possible the headlights themselves are illegal, but there is a clause that specifically allows "comfort and convenience items" that do not affect performance. Debadging is specifically disallowed in Stock and either ST or SP classes.

Why would you want to break your left foot? I would imagine that it would be a lot harder to drive fast with it broken. If you expect to shave some seconds off of your time, i would suggest that you be as healthy as possible at the time of the run...

"My Bad" i mean "Braking" English never really was my best supject <_< But yeah i guess it gets rid of the time between lifting ur foot from the gas and back, which could probably make a difference....but im not sure i'll see when i try it on the tarmac.
