So I don't know how many people are still on this forum and how many of you I actually know but I figured I'd post anyway.
I bought my car back in 2009 with 45k miles on it and made it my daily driver. It's been through hell and back with me (from having no codes to making a laundry list of them down to just one or two). My wife is a stay home mom with a lease on a 2014 Honda Accord. With that being said and my car having trouble with passing inspection, it will most likely be coming off the road in the very near future (within weeks).
We've discussed my options with it and it would make sense to just keep it and tinker with it over time for track or off road use only
I will be driving her car for the next 2 years and then figuring out a second daily for me when the time comes.
Ive tried reading a bit around (mostly Meats threads which helped me a bit more than I thought lol) i could still use some help because I suck at researching lol so I'm hoping you guys could help me out.
To begin with, I don't know what class I could enter my car into (it's a 2 door Gti) and don't know what part of my interior is required.
Is there a certain amount of interior parts that will put me into a different class once removed?
I have no problem cutting rear seatbelt brackets off or hollowing out my door panels. As it is my interior plastics are a bit scratched so they're most likely getting tossed out anyway, I also don't plan on ever reinstalling my rear seats. I'd be happy or more then fine if the entire interior including carpet, door panels and even dash board was removed but I don't want to remove anything that will put my car into a class too advanced than I can handle if that makes sense.
Any help from personal experience would be great. I live in Ny and expect to buy or trailer my car to events in the future but I want to plan events somewhere in the north eastern side.
My current mods are as follows and I definitely expect to add plenty go and stop fast parts over time. I don't expect all my current mods and parts to be as great as some that might be suggested so don't feel bad suggesting different parts than I have.
Suspension;
-BC coils
-Hotchkiss 3 way adjustable rear swaybar
-Whiteline front lca bushings
-passenger side frame notched
(Only reason front sway was removed is because I had slamseries struts when I was on bags and did not have the endlink brackets)
Engine;
-Revo stage 2 tune (B7,F9,T4)
-K&N typhoon intake
-Apr 3inch TBE (gutted catalytic converter)
-BFI stage 3 white motor mount
-BFI stage 2 green transmission insert
-Autotech pendulum insert
-Neuspeed lightweight crank pulley
-AWE diverter valve
Brakes;
-Akebono front pads that look brand new
Transmission;
-4season billet 19lbs flywheel
-4season stage 1 clutch
-Forge short shifter front-to-back
-Forge short shifter side-to-side
Thanks in advance!
This is what the car looked like a few weeks ago
