Seems strange to me that we can write rules that effectively prohibit
turbo swaps on one model of car but we can't write rules that allow
competitors in OUR GRASSROOTS SPORT FOR THE AVERAGE SCHMOE to PREVENT
DAMAGE TO THEIR CAR.

Subframe connectors for Camerobirds and Mustangs.
Camchain tensiors for Porches
Motor mounts for neons
Zip-tied hoses for RX7tt's

Write the freaking exclusions on a per car basis, revisit each year based
on member comment, and be done with it.
