Default STR Classing....maybe? New to the platform

Hey guys,

I traded my 135i for this S2K with the following mods:
Brakes/Suspension
17x9 +45 Silver RPF1
AST 4150 Coilovers
Fenders Rolled
Centric Rotors
Project Mu Club Racer Pads
Project Mu NS400 Pads (Extra set of 4)
WASP Composits Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Kit

Corner Balenced 2015 (50/50)
Alligned 2015 (-2.5F/-2R)

Safety
RSG Rollbar
RSG BulkHead Bar

Exterior
OEM Honda front Lip
J's Front Tow Hook
Generic Rear Hook
Robbins Replacement Softtop with glass
Front Windshield Replaced

Engine
K&N Intake
Invidia Test Pipe with defouler
V300 Cat Back painted black
AP2 Intake Retainers
Moroso Oil Pan Baffle Welded In
04-05 Valve Cover Modified to prevent blow by
Radium Engineeing Catch Can

I'm also adding PLM header + Greddy Emanage before the season hits.

So my question...I am almost certain I'd fall into STR class for AutoX per: https://dk1xgl0d43mu1.cloudfront.net...pdf?1484176131

My only concern is that my rear interior around the roll bar/trunk is stripped . The front has full interior. Do I need to replace all of this to be able to run? I'm sure the locals wouldn't care but maybe regionals and I'm almost sure nationals. I am only asking because I couldn't find the words in that document I posted. This will mainly be an open track day vehicle but I'd like to definitely do a little AutoX with my friends as well...you know for fun.

Cheers.

Balls. Yeah I re-read that and showed something about cat needing to be a certain distance from the original. High flow cat I assume is okay....

What about the interior though? That's the largest challenge.

You probably alright at any regional event, going to nationals, you are going to want to put all the plastic back in trimmed to fit around the roll bar. You can leave the bulkhead out with the roll hoops but I'm not sure you can leave out the stock seat belts. Some other STR guys can probably confirm.

I assumed this was the case, but hoped it wasn't. :'(

I'd have to buy the plastics from someone because mine did not come with them. ZZZ

You should be able to find those plastic pieces fairly cheap from someone building a similar car/track car. Cutting is a bit tedious but can be made to look well.

I'll be on the lookout I guess. I think it's worth putting back in anyway....this car is LOUD on the highway.

Local events probably won't give you too many problems, but yes, you will need a cat (or HFC), you will need to put the plastics back in.

I sent in a request several months ago for clarification around S2k rollbars, given that the rear bulkhead needs to be replaced to properly position a harness bar. It's finally worked its way to the SEB agenda, and so there should be a bulletin in Fastrack about it soon. Hopefully that will provide some clarify on exactly what's allowed. I've got some unofficial early info that these installs will be possible, but I don't know exactly what will need to be retained.
