SM as well.

AMR coilovers 10/8
AMR prototype UCA's
ASR brace
ASR sway bar
Blox LCA's
Hardrace bushings
Hardrace rear toe adjuster
Hardrace rear camber adjuster
Hardrace super tie rod ends
Hardrace RCA's (roll center adjuster/extended ball joint)

B20V
RS pistons 84.5mm itr's
Eagle Rods
B16 head ported by RS machine
TWM ITB's
Skunk2 Pro 2's
supertech springs, retainers and flat face valves
Manley keepers ($100, probably the best/cheapest part of my build)
fluidampr pulley
B16 trans
OBX LSD

1/2 interior (no panels in rear, no seats, etc), no AC/PS (manual rack and subframe)

I'll be on Hoosier A6's 225/45/15 on some cheap ass drag wheels.

If I read the rules correctly, (and I probably didnt) but the only thing that really changes your class are your engine (if swapped, unless that engine originally came in that chassis -- like putting a Z6 in a DX coupe/hatch/sedan or a B16 into a del Sol), chassis modifications (like the ASR brace, braces, cages, etc), and tires.

I'd like to understand the rules a lot better, but typically I cant make heads or tails of them, guess its cuz I'm ADHD (or just plain stupid, idk).

Whats done to your car?


I love auto-x, so much more fun than drag racing.

Your car would be in XP without the full interior. SMF requires a complete interior sans rear seats. If you're running locals it's not a big deal but if you're running national events you'll get protested if you were to finish well.

My Integra is in Street Touring, My Civic will be in Street Modified FWD.

^^ I used to be in ST. I'm now in SM because I pulled my fenders, modified my bumper for a CAI, and changed my wheels. From what I read, for our EG civics, the widest we can go with wheels are NUMBERx7 (I went 15x8, so this would also put my class up to SM). And I think NUMEBR can be as big as you want, and I'm sure no one would up to 20 :lol:

Mod list:

CAI with the stock air box
Megan Racing EZ street coilovers
P1 Buddy Club camber kits
15x8 +20 offset Konig Wideopen wheels

Things I plan to do in the near future:

ASR brace
Swaybars

An idea I had:

From what I've seen while waiting to run the track, people get out of their cars to cool the tires down with ?water? IMO, the problem with this is that they're only getting a part of the tire that they can reach. My idea is to re-route the windshield water spray hoses to point at the front wheels. And while rolling, turn it on so that it covers the whole wheel.

You and me both, read the rules for NASA some time, But I think you are correct, as far engines that is what bumps you classes as well as stripping and cage work in AutoX, Wheel to wheel cage, interior, and undercarriage work is all unlimited it the engine stuff that will move you classes and shit.

Widest wheel allowed in ST 7.5", you could run 8" wide wheels in STX if your car can be classed there. You can go as wide as you want in Street Modified, Street Prepared and Prepared classes.

My setup at the moment is rather simple.


B20z w/B16 trans
Ksports 12/9
Brake ducting
Teg front brakes

Ill still be on my 205/50 azenis as well. I wont have a dedicated slick or anything for a while.

I want to pick up rear LCAs and a rear ITR sway bar. My front bar is perfect for what I want the car to do.

SCCA or NASA? I know for SCCA you'd be in some Street Modified, cuz of the swap.

I run in a OSPU class, from what I understand it isnt a very popular class but we use it here. Basically it's a "catch all" class. As long as you are a registered street legal car you can do whatever you want.
