[quote="Turb02"][quote="Mike87"]The class that your car would be in would depend on the governing body that you are racing under. I am assuming that you are talking about road racing and not autocross or drag racing. Knowing that you are doing significant modifications to it, I would say that you would be in an open class, up there with V8's and such, something like SP or Super Production. Most classes limit what you can and cannot do to the motor. Adding a turbo and all the aftermarket FI might put you into a major mod's class. If so, you might be at the low end of that class in terms of handling unless you go with an all out tube frame chassis and fully adjustable suspension.

That said, if you are really serious about racing your '02, go to some races and see where the '02 is racing (usually E Production & Improved Touring B for SCCA) and then build it to one of those classes. Should you build it without consulting any rule books you run the risk of building a car that you cannot race without more significant modifications or changes to comply with the rules of the class you have chosen.[/quote]

Thanks Mike for the input...It seems that my plans will continue towards a street terror car/weekend toy/HPDE machine.  I dont think I could be competitive at those levels Mike, and a tube chassis is more than I care to do.

All input is much appreciated.[/quote]
