1.8 PCA AX classing Options

[grantsfo]

Curious where my 1.8 is formally classed in PCA? It has 22mm front bar, 140 lb rear springs, Yellow Koni's, street tires and stock 1.8. I was running in stock class in WCC AX, but is my car considered improved according to PCA rules?

What Demick said. The locals (PCA Zone 7) don't pay attention to the PCRs or anybody else's rules, they have their own. Follow the link in his note and you'll find where you fit.

Sounds like "improved" category, to me, so that would be "Ai", running against Britain.

Improved category allows: Any sway bars that do not require cutting or welding. (Exception: If it requires cutting or welding to mount the stock sway bar to a car, you can use the same mounting scheme for a non-stock one.) Stock torsion bars. 914s are specifically allowed up to 140 lb/in springs on the rear. Competition type tires are allowed, max width of 205 and minimum profile of 50. Wheels must be 15" or larger diameter, up to 6" wide. Any reasonable muffler. Any means of initiating a spark that still uses the stock distributor for determining the timing. Stock induction (FI in our case). No headers. No light flywheels. No internal engine mods. Changes that are for reliability only, and do not offer a performance advantage, are allowed and encouraged. (Examples: Tuna can, external oil cooler, etc.)
