Street mod

 

Or D Mod if you stripped the interior. Read the rules to see what modifications you can do.

 

i just got back from an auto x event and i was placed in e prepaired. is this correct?

If you dont have an interior... probably. If you do (have all of it, not just some), street mod.

 

i took out my back seats thats it. what is better to be in street mod or e prepaired? and what should i do to better my chances in auto x?

Street mod.

Also check this out - http://www.autocross.com/evolution/ - nothing will help you more than instruction and seat time. Much more important than spending more $$ on your car.

 

i just dont want to do something to my car and come to find out that would put me in a higher class and then i wouldnt stand a chance.

You're a novice - you dont stand a chance anyways

There's a link to SCCA rules in the forum FAQ - start there, and order a rulebook (scca website) or buy one at the next event.

 

SM allows removing the back seat, but the rest of the interior has to be there. Your car is not legal for EP due to not being classed with the motor you now have. The 99-00 SI is the only Civic, other than the Del Sol, classed in EP with a b16. As the others said, get a rule book so you don't move yourself out of SM where you should be now. SM allows most anything you can afford, and a bunch you can't, so long as you keep the interior. Seat time and instruction is the best thing now, suspension and tires next, more power after that. Ask questions, try to get ride-alongs with the faster people, remember you are having fun.

 

if i got lets say 15 in wheels with azenis or yokohama advans would thet take me out of sm? or should i stay with the 13s?

 

I don't believe there are any wheel size restrictions in SM. Get a rulebook; I think it's $15-20 if you're an SCCA member.

What he said. Should have been Street Mod.

I'm telling.

 

For SM, any wheel you can fit on and any DOT approved tire is OK. The 15's are fine, the recommendation for 13's was to lower the car's center of gravity and shorten the gearing. The SM rules are fairly open, if it bolts to a stock suspension mounting point, probably OK. If the OEM built the basic motor, OK.

A rulebook will make your life easier, however, with the car you are currently working with, it would be very hard to exceed the SM rules so long as you avoid full slicks. Just remember you will be duking it out with 400HP Mitsuibishi's and SC BMW M3's. If SM is well established in your region, do not expect to blow everybody away, there are some seriously fast cars in the class.

 

theres a chart on the SCCA site that you look at your car, then at your mods and you see what class you're in.

 

i cant find that chart on there site.

 

They don't list SM rules on the mouton site. SM allows a lot to be done. The rulebook is your friend...
