Ok..At this this point I think I will just leave my motor in it's current state(header,exhaust,intake) and maybe just go into autocrossing. This will be my first year and I was told by a couple guys who are into it in the northwest that I would be in the street prepared class where I must retain the motor that came with the car and can have unlimited mods done, but I may have misunderstood. I t also seemed like I couldn't run a cage or gutted interior but still would like to clarify that...The last thing he mentioned was there will be 2 SP classes this year, one with r-compound tires and one without. I plan on running some 13x6 wheels I had on my Rabbit with either a 175/50/13 or if I can squeeze somthing wider on I will like a 215/50/13...anyways I wanted nos for a faster car. My car is slow but I love the handling. I don't want to destroy my motor all that bad either since My mom picked out this car for my college car and is the one paying for it...So if anyone has some rec! omendations on tires and rules please let me know.. thanx, Greyson 94 4 door XE > > > --- Terrin Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Have you ever autoxed before?
