Creating Guides for AutoX Classes, need your help

I'm going to be putting together guides to help DSMers see what classes they can compete in for autocross, specifically SCCA. I'd like to break it up by class and create lists of what mods can be done to the car for each class. If you guys can help me out I'd appreciate it. I'm looking for people who have competed in each class and are familiar with the class rules to post a list of mods that will make a DSM competitive in that class and still stay within the class rules - some insight from fellow DSMers that you can't get just by reading the class rules themselves. I'd like to separate it by 1G Turbo FWD, 1G Turbo AWD, 2G Turbo FWD and 2G Turbo AWD since the parts lists will be different for the 1G and 2G. Once we get those done I can touch on 1G and 2G N/T cars and GVR-4s.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Here's a link to the RGRSCCA.org checklist for classification in Solo2. It should help.

The big one that will nail pretty much everone is changing the boost level from stock. It immediately puts you into SM, in which case you'd better make a whole lot of additional changes to be competetive (ie, answer yes to almost everything on the list). Changing out turbos also bumps you to SM. Of course you could always modify the factory boost solenoid for the extra 2psi, port the heck out of the stock turbo and no one would know.

Thanks, that will help. But I'm hoping I can get people who are participating in certain classes and are familiar with the rules of that class to list all the mods you can do to a DSM to make it competitive and still stay within the rules of that class.
