2023 season is about to start and with it a new ruleset for my class (SCCA CAM C) which relaxed some restrictions such as wings and street legal status. At first reading I was dumbfounded and panicked thinking "what the hell and I gonna do". Now, after a bit of time to dwell on it I've come to the conclusion, NOTHING. Locally, I've been competitive with a underprepped car so nothing is really going to change for me. I'll just be more underprepped.

You see, this is my daily driver. I've promised myself that as I make changes none would make the car miserable as a daily. I also promised I wouldn't make any change without testing to see how the change effects the car. This means changing multiple items all together is a major no no. This is why I am underprepped after 2 years, as testing and experimenting takes time.

I do have my wish list and I will get to them all. And while after reading the new rules my first thought was just to throw money at the car and do a major update. But, been there and done that and it is not the smartest way for my end game. Too much "what did I do" and "why is it doing this" to sort out.

So I will go into the new year with some minor changes to see how the car likes it and slowly make more changes.

I've always hated the wheels on my Ecoboost Mustang. The stock Performance Package in satin black just looked...dirty. Try as I might I could never get them to look good. So I started wheel hunting but for what? Chrome, bronze, gunmetal or maybe a different style in black? So off to a car show I go and for a second opinion my wife comes with.

We look and look. What color and style for a silver Mustang. Bronze? nope, Chrome? Too much silver, gunmetal? Maybe. Then it happens. She tells me she likes the wheels themselves. "The style is great but why do they look dirty and shiny like these?" Then it hits me. It's the satin finish. A gloss, wet look black wheel is what I should try. So as an experiment we grabbed some gloss clear coat rattle cans and pulled the wheels off and glossed them up.

Not a major change it is very subtle. So much so that in the picture it's hard to see, but in person it is noticeable enough that I have been asked if I got new wheels.

Life lesson. Sometimes it is just a little change that is needed.

"RPF1's are played." Well if played means a setup that's light, strong, cheap and come in almost any offset you could want for any application, then it's hard to argue against it. Thanks for the +22 front pair @mr_robs and @sbgarage #becausestreetcar #trackthatshit
