Default can someone help me class my car for SOLO2?

Well here in Montana we have been using our own rules along with SCCA, I guess to make things more competetive, ya know because we dont have a whole lot of cars...so. Now this year we are hosting a regional Solo2 event so you see my delema.

I have printed the whole 312 page rulebook and am going to read it in the next couple of days. But I was hoping that I could get some help..

here goes

89 CRX Si

Drivetrain;
B16 untouched w/ poly motor mounts
K&N Filter
Thermal R&D exhaust
Powercore cat
Y1 trans w/lsd poly shift bushing
reg PR3 ecu

Suspension and brakes;
H&R Race springs on
KYB AGX shocks
DA brakes all around, including booster, master cylinder, p-valve
SS lines w/EBC Green pads
ES master poly kit...trailing arm bushing still stock(does it matter?)

wheels & tires;
Falken Azenis sport on 15x7 Rota Slipstream wheels

body and interior;
Sparco Speed seat with Sparco Ring wheel
rest of interior is removed besides sunroof and insturment cluster
stock bodied except for homemade aluminum front air dam(about 3" off ground)

I know I might get "flamed" for this but I come on here and see cars that are built to "ITA spec" and I've never followed these rules I've just built my car to win around here lol.

anywho TIA -John

With interior, you'd be in Street Mod.

Without interior, you'd be in Prepared (I think, not 100% sure on this one).

The rules are pretty straightforward, download the PDF and it should be pretty clear.

crx isn't allowed in SM. SM2 if he had interior. I'm not sure of the rules past SM so I can't be sure.

I can throw the interior back in if need be? But I would not put the heater back in.

Just the dash, carpet and all the plastic. Should I?

The engine swap bumps you to a Mod class (SM2 or DM) regardless. A Prepared car's engine has to at least resemble the original one, and you can't remove the heater in SM2, so you'd go right in to D-mod without the heater core, no matter how much or how little interior you add or subtract.

YES! autocross has a steep learning curve. you don't want to have you spirit shot down when a super7 shows up and annilated you. go into SM2, and mess around with all the other swaps and the occasion vette.

well...I've been autocrossing for 5+ years... and road racing for about a year, so I know about learning curves.

Sounds like SM2, I'll look into it. Thanks everyone!

If your heater is not in, your car is not legal for SM2.
