Read that. Your first year will be a learning experience. Get as much seat time as you can. Ask for instructors to help you. They can ride along with you to give you pointers or drive the car and see what the limit of your car is. Most people drive their cars at 5/10ths or 12/10ths of their car. A seasoned driver will always be 9/10ths to 10/10ths the limit all the time.
You would be in SM with the engine swap and as long as you have the interior infront of the front seats.
I read your page and it was helpful and beneficial (knowledge wise), but I didn't read anything regarding "novice autocross school." I read your comment on the civic forum with the thread about if civics are racing material

novice autocross school.
Doing the car the way I just described and then taking a novice autocross school you would be about 4-8 seconds faster and in fact I think you would be faster with the stock car and a novice autocross school then a 300 hp Civic and no novice school.
Every year when I teach our autocross schools the students are usually 10-15 seconds behind me in their own cars. After the school those same students are right on my butt
How do I register for novice autocross school? Or where do I gather the information I need for this?
