Getting back into a AutoX (Class Question)

[Gil]

So, planning to hit up another ERSCC event this year, but in the s14. Did some research and looks like the car falls in GS but I have some suspension work and LSD, but motor and exhaust is stock. Do I fall in GS or GSP? Might be running 17's or the 18's i am on now.

It goes from stock ---> street touring ----> street prepared. You were in DSP because of the race header with no cat.

Looks like i fit the bill..

1. The STX class expande the vehicle eligibility limits beyond those specified for STS, and adds a limited number of allowed modifications. The allowances are as follows:

1.

All allowances in STS carry over, including street tires, emissions, etc.
2.

All restrictions regarding body type carry over.
3.

Engine size allowance: up to 5.1, normally aspirated and 2.0, forced induction (single turbo or supercharger).
4.

Rim restriction: maximum width of 8", diameter/offset unrestricted. Tire restriction: max width 245 mm .
5.

Only factory limited slip differentials (LSD) are allowed on AWD vehicles, as defined in Section 12.4. For AWD vehicles that did not come with any type of limited slip differential (including center differential or transfer case), a single aftermarket LSD may be added. 2WD vehicles may use any LSD unit.
6.

High flow catalytic converters are allowed, but must attach within six inches of the original unit. Multiple catalytic converters may be replaced by a single unit, provided the single unit is within six inches of the original primary unit. The resultant configuration must meet Federal emissions standards at normal vehicle operating temperature.
7.

Alternate motor mounts and/or engine locators (bobble struts) sold by the vehicle's manufacturer or their Motorsports subsidiary or affiliate ( Chrysler/Mopar, Toyota/TRD , Honda/Mugen, etc.) are allowed.
8.

Alternate driver and front passenger seats are allowed, but they cannot be constructed of a solid outer shell and must have a suspended bottom cushion and be fully upholstered.
9.

Brake rotors and calipers are unrestricted, but must attach to the original attachment points.
10.

Additionally excluded cars: BMW M3 (E36 and E46), BMW M5 (all), Mitsubishi Evo 8, Subaru Sti.

we'll see. I've seen a few at the events in the past, seem to hold pretty, well in the corners. By the way this car is on some Tein Coil-overs and Megan Pillow ball mounts in the rear. I am going to adding beefier sway bars and stuff so that should do the trick. car takes corners better then my si thats for damn sure...just lacking the power currently!

don't upgrade your car until you find the class you want to be in/most comfortable in, then do your mods.
