Dohc zc swap with si tranny with hydro conversion
Stock airbox, stock throttle body, and stock intake manifold...
Aftermarket header, stock exhaust, stock suspension, stock brakes, and stock tire size
Car has full interior and aftermarket steering wheel

Since the car is swapped that will put you in SMF. Street Modified Front wheel drive.

Have fun!

yup, all because of the engine swap. and that's the class you can do practically anything you want to the car and you're still in that class. pretty much the only thing you can't do is swap an n/a motor from a different manufacturer and then boost that motor lol.

a tip on brakes: standard blank rotors with Hawk HP+ pads will be your best friend. And if you can do a rear disc conversion, do it, and follow the same.
also, find out if your club has a minimum weight requirement. If not, gut the ever living snot out of the car.

You'll have so much fun autocrossing the EF chassis! Definitely get some seat time, if you start wanting to be competitive, that engine won't do it in SMF, cheaper and easier to swap an OE replacement back in. I used to race in SMF class with my old 1990 CRX H23A blue top, it was loads of fun, but without spending a fortune on modifications, it wasn't on par with the top of the class. Here's a helpful link that I found very useful when I was getting started. Autocross to Win (DGs Autocross Secrets) - ATW Home Page
