Is help needed for Friday? Is it same about 3:30 - 5:30?
Saturday wise, I may have some time to help out too. Just run into the budget lot I'm guessing?

Thanks for the clear-up guys. I looked into the HS pages and found Celica [FWD] and didn't realize they have separated the newer generation (both trim levels) into the higher class.

On the contrary, an RSX Type S (being an even more aggressive vehicle than the new celica) stayed within HS. I wonder what's the rationale for that...

As for the Tsunami edition, they came with both GT and GT-S trims. No suspension upgrades. Just thinking of one because they are rare and look stunning (Gonna also be my daily not just a track car). It is not a JDM, just that very small numbers were made. (359 according to a quick google search, not that it matters much)

I dragged a couple pics and info online just for more clarification:

From the looks of it though, it seems like I would fare better in the autoX environment if I have a RSX-S with 0.786 PAX vs a Celica with 0.793.

Technical Talk / Car question

Took a look at the rules for street class cars already, but just want to make sure with the longer-standing guys here. I have plans to obtain a 2000-05 Celica GTS for autocross. Would there be any issues with running a 00-03 TRD package/04-05 Tsunami edition within H street?

These packages include a body kit (my main question regarding H street compliance) and suede seats but these would be considered options offered by original manufacturer. Similarly, if I have a non factory kitted GTS, would I be ok putting the TRD/Tsunami suede seats in it?

The course was fun. The slalom right before the sweeper over the "4" on the runway got me every run. I swear I was about to careen through that wall of cones into the line-up of cars waiting.

Glad you got the issue sorted out Jordan. Must've felt like the world was going to end on you that moment.
