sorry for the off topic but WTF is this "halo" bar you all speak of? What are they called in other parts of the world.
on topic, in aust. 2WD turbo = no restrictor and any fuel, but stock turbo(or looks stock  )

Are you all mad? Ya been in the sun too long, son! Technological genii are all in agreement that you have to slow the cars down and the ONLY way to do that is with 34 or 32mm restrictors.... now nevermind that the place with the most experience w 34mm---WRC---saw the average speeds go up appox 5 km/h after 34mm became the standard and people got down to tuning---lots of very expensive rebuilding and tuning---the motors for 34mm... So serious is the need up here that the Federation of America's Hat instituted a 3 year study to adress the problem of ever increasing costs in Open 4wd class and delining new entries which "talked to repected shops" and even better "talked to tunerz" and concluded that the solution for the problems up there in the frozen North was to limit the 2nd least subscribed class to 2.0 liters and slap a 32mm restrictor on only there "Open" cars... Don't you guys care about the SANCTITY of HUMAN LIFE??? Were you all drunk? Ah ! I got it, by going all unrestrictored you're hoping to kill 'em all off then low powered heavy newer shiitboxes won't get embarrassed. Whatdya know, you ain't just a gang of lager-louts!
