I've run 6 or 7 autocrosses, and am starting to get more serious about it.
I will have a set of Kuhmos by the next event.  I want to stay in stock
class for now, I was just curious about parts swaps and how they relate to
stock and street prepared classes.

The car is 99% daily driver, and will stay that way for some time.  No
folgers exhaust tips or rasping exhaust note for me.  I think I can be
fairly competitive in Gstock, at least locally.

>From the responses I've gotten I now understand that in stock form I can
only swap parts that either were available as an option on my car (there are
none) or that are also free mods in the class (front swaybar, shocks), but
for that I might as well go aftermarket.

Thanks the info.

Matt

Matt,

Are you new to this?  Are you still running on street rubber?  If the
answer is "yes", why don't you consider running in Street Touring?
In ST, you can basically do anything you want to the suspension as long as
you use the original mounting points, all the typical Integra mods are
legal (intake, header, exhaust etc...)----ST will allow to have the fun of
building a cool street car that you can also autocross without making the
sacrifices or investing the money necessary for CSP.

Eric,
(who would consider ST if a Miata had four seats!!!)
