I just bought a 1994 Toyota Celica GT with at 2.2L engine. I want to know what stock class the car will be in.
The mods are as follows:
Custom Muffler, Custom Wing, Cold Air Intake, Cross Drilled front Brake Rotors, and Adjustable Springs from OEM Hight down 4in.
I think the car is lowered 2 in right now
Help me out here if anyone would please.

I'm pretty sure you're in STS. What size wheels/tires are you running?

With those mods, you're not in stock class. The rule book is in PDF format at www.scca.com. Follow the Solo Links. General car classifications for stock and Street Prepared classes can be found at moutons.org/sccasolo/. Your CAI and Wing (at least) put you in Street Prepared category. The brakes and springs probably do, as well. This website should tell you which SP class if you click on the Street Prepared link. |

That was the whole intent of the class to allow the "tuner/riceboys" a place to play and be competitive. Whitebr40, i'm one of those "ricegirls" (kinda), so i'm not poking fun at you. . . |

It was intended to be an addendum to what you said, Tara.
Point is...to his original question there is no stock class for his car.
Ether SP or ST.

It's lowered 4 inches? Shocks are probably blown, and undercarriage should be scraping the ground.
The only mods allowed in stock classes are:
Front sway bar
Cat-back exhaust
Rims that are the same size as stock and +-6mm offset
any DOT tire

It is a neatly organized chart, yes. It doesn't cover everything of course, and is geared toward the "street" classes' mods, leaving out any reference to Prepared or Modified (though cars don't have to be street legal in Street Prepared, ironically). I don't know why they have a "no" for Street Mod for the "Is your engine still emissions legal?" question, because I'm fairly certain they need to be for that class (see 16.A., at top of page 95 of '06 Solo Rules, especially the word "streetable").
Certain changes have been made to especially the SP rules for '06 that the chart is wrong on. Some "software", or electronic, changes to boost level on already boosted cars are now allowed (see 15.10 4. f], on page 89).
I think the "Change Spring Rates?" question should be "Change Springs?" period, because I can easily envision some as interpreting that as "springs from another 'trim level' of the 'same' car are OK for stock class", when they are not.
For the 'internal engine mods' and 'engine swap' questions, they have a "yes" for Street Prepared, but those are very, very limited by the Street Prep rules (pages 79 to 93). It ain't 'anything goes' by far...
Another question they should have, because it's a fairly common "tuner" thing to do, is "Any body panels replaced by carbon fiber pieces??" Then there would be a "No" in every column, except Street Mod... These aren't all of the issues with the chart, I'm sure...

I have only raced in two events third is going to be in orangeburg If I can attend. Orangeburg will be the first time I race this car. I left a couple of mods out so let me just go over them again. It has cross drilled front rotors, custom pedals, custom wing, cold air intake, adjustable ground control coil over springs, they are set 2in lower than OEM hight. the rims are the same size as OEM 15x7 cooper zeon 205-50-r15.
from what I have found out I think that sts or fsp will be the class I run in.
Thanx for the help and I the stuff I just listed changes anything just let me know.

Just an FYI, you're probably better off competiting in STS because everyone else in your class will also be running on street tires. In FSP, you compete against others on RComps and well, they say that accounts for ~2 seconds on a 60 second course difference. Choose wisely.  |

Edit: Doch, I just remembered: if you got a big brake kit, you'd have to go to STX anyway, because larger rotors aren't allowed in Street Prepared, either! |

I would highly doubt they are big brakes.
