NASA will accept the old plates.... at least in my region, we check the dimension and that is all.
Same in SoCal and I suspect the same for all the regions... I'll look into it.

d. 1.8L cars must use an air restrictor plate. The
restrictor plate must be placed between the throttle
body and plenum. All intake air must pass through the
restrictor plate. Restrictor plates must be the proper
size as listed in the specification table, must be from
Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development or from SCCA
Enterprises, and must not be modified.
Based on this, as a tech inspector, I would consider the non anodized plate legal. However, I would certainly be more likely to have it pulled to measure. This past year, I looked at the opening surface of the Enterprise plates while in place to make certain they had not been altered. If it was not an Enterprise plate, I asked for it to be pulled. However, I also had Enterprise plates pulled and measured them. A lot depends on the tech staff available to help. Make sure you have the new GCR weight of your car so that it can be seen as you go across the scales. New rule.

I missed this one. Are you saying we need to have our minimum weight displayed on the car exterior? Can you point me to that rule. I searched and could not find it.

#4350 – May
In 9.3.29, add a new section D as follows:
“Except for classes in which there is only 1 required minimum weight (i.e., ASR, FB, FC, FE, FF, FM, FS, FST, FV,
SM5, SRF), all cars shall display the correct minimum weight specified in the current GCR using numbers that are a
minimum of two inches in height and are within 6 inches of the class designation in a manner that is clearly legible to
the scrutineers at the scales. Cars that are run in more than one class must display the correct minimum weight for each
class so that it is clear which weight applies to each class.â€

Here;s what the current GCR says about plates for SM.
d. 1.8L cars must use an air restrictor plate. The
restrictor plate must be placed between the throttle
body and plenum. All intake air must pass through the
restrictor plate. Restrictor plates must be the proper
size as listed in the specification table, must be from
Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development or from SCCA
Enterprises, and must not be modified.
Based on this, as a tech inspector, I would consider the non anodized plate legal. However, I would certainly be more likely to have it pulled to measure. This past year, I looked at the opening surface of the Enterprise plates while in place to make certain they had not been altered. If it was not an Enterprise plate, I asked for it to be pulled. However, I also had Enterprise plates pulled and measured them. A lot depends on the tech staff available to help.

Jim, are they using a no/go gauge, or how are they measuring them?
