pretty much the only thing that you can do to stay in the stock class is exhaust and tires but they must be DOT approved, so racing slicks are a no go but is you put street slicks than you are ok. With me, i would be in h stock but becuase of my intake, i went to d-stock, if you look on the classifications, porsche 944 or maybe 928's were placed in there, tuff to beat.

all are DOT legal and available in sizes that will fit a honda 14" rim ... the first ones are slicks after 2 runs and the 3rd ones i have no fuckin clue how they are DOT legal ... but hey i dont make the rules :)
 
if you wanna swap something and stay competitive, drop a d16z6 in. they way i understood the rules was that you could swap engines or parts from a higher model(ie civic si) on your car without being thrown into a higher bracket. i think if you go with a b16, b18 etc they put you in 'X' class. this group allows unlimited mods, and you will get your ass kicked. this was in the houston SCCA but i think the rules are the same everywhere.
 
pretty much any swap other than stock replacement will put you in SM ( with full interior ) EM ( with gutted interior )
 
i m wanting to try it i m not wanting to do it every free time i have. so what i learned that if i swap the motor i m fucked unless everyone i race sucks. i m not wanting to win or anything i just want to get better at driving and i would like to see where i would stand up to other drivers and what not. it's more for learning if i do good great if i suck i hope i get better.
 
thats pretty much the way im lookin at it ... i know theres people in that class i'll probly never beat ... they have like 15 years experience and about 80k into their car ... i just wanna push myself to my limits and have fun without risk of tickets
 
its discourageing though-

when your gsr swapped hatch comes in 43 seconds slower a lap than the #1 guy in your class. lol
 
yeah but its not like anyone will ever beat that crazy ass old guy that talks to his dog ( with the VW Rabbit )
 
i remember that dip shit with the lambo ( i cant spell) did real bad with a 200,000 dollar car... i hope i can run across assclowns like him when i try it!
