You got my vote



Actually there has been a shit load of confusion about it. The trend has been if your vin is 1st gen then you are 1st gen. If it says 2nd gen then you are 2nd gen. IDK if it ever got worked out but maybe we should get rid of categories all together. Love your car BTW and I enjoyed chatting with you. Would have been cool to hang out a bit more. I voted for your car last year.

I've always been of the mindset that what ever the VIN and title say, not what bumper you have on it.

I'm not sure where the confusion is here. As soon as you mod your front end to 2nd gen, its considered to be a second gen. The rear is also 2nd gen stealth. Are you saying that in 2010 when it took 1st place at 3SGTO nationals as a 1992 second Gen, with 1992 on my registration and on my display, I fooled anyone? I'm more than happy to enter in 1st gen, but then the 1st gen guys will all bitch and moan that its "converted to a 2nd Gen." Anyhow. I waited to enter as a 2nd Gen purely because thats how its always been treated.

2fnloud. I liked your car a lot. What kind or rear anti sway bar did you have? Nice piece of work.

Pretty sure that NG10 still had 3SI on the banner not 3SGTO.ORG and for sure it was not called the 2010 3SGTO Nationals. Those might have been the rules on 3SI, but as Granny pointed out, Christy published the 1st Gen/2nd Gen guidelines for 3SGTO back when the COTM started up on this site. Second Gen bumpers on a 1st gen make it LOOK like a second gen car, but it is still a 1st gen at the core.
