You have to have full interior for SM, but you can remove the backseat.

All the carpet and paneling should still be there, including in the hatch.

Roll center adjusters are allowed in SM, racing seat is allowed.

3pt front strut bars are not allowed, or things like trunk X braces, anything with a triangulating bar. Only allowed to connect opposite suspension points, like front upper to front upper, rear upper to rear upper.

But a full roll cage is allowed.

Also, the carpet that is attached to the back of the rear seat can be removed. You may also remove the rear seatbelts, and if you put racing belts in for the front seats, you can remove the OEM belts there as well.

Anybody know someone selling a Password JDM front upper 2 point strut bar for an EF? I need one. Otherwise, I'm buying a used 3 point and cutting off the portion that goes up to the firewall.

It's in the rulebook. You can run either a full cage or a roll bar, either of which is probably useless for autocross and will just slow you down because of the weight. But lots of us run our cars at track events as well and run a rollbar for that purpose.

Cage specs are in the rules, read appendix C. Some companies, like Autopower, make bolt-in roll bars/cages that are compliant with the Solo rules. For a daily driven car, I'd avoid a full cage and run a roll bar. If you use racing seats, then you must have a roll bar or cage, and if you have a roll bar/cage, then you must have a 5/6/7 point harness. For time trials you must have a bar or cage, plus certified seat and harness. For a HPDE, or anything with an instructor, the passenger must have the same type of safety equipment as the driver.
