Your mods aren't that big of deal. If you car was stock legal, it probably wouldn't be that competitive anyway. And if it could be you'd probably need the lightest weight expensive wheels and fresh Hoosiers and a lightweight exhaust and uber shocks to be there. Then of course a non-streetable alignment.

You've made you car more enjoyable for the street and pleasure drives and a fun albeit non-competitive autox toy. Don't have any regrets.

I also see mention of "same line update/backdate" but only for the street prepared/prepared type of classes.
So in SS with a C6 can I take a the wider Z06 wheels and put them on a base coupe/convertible?

No go on HIST - that's for Stock class cars only, in every aspect of the SCCA rules.

Looks like no go for HIST because it is a 71 and HIST is 68 and older:

I am sure that you would be welcomed in Hist. We're a pretty easy going group. You just have to use the index from the national class that the car would compete in and if you are on 140+ wear rated tires, you would get an additional .975 off. This is a CalClub region only class, so if most of the competitiors agree, and I am sure they will, come on and play with us.

There is no Update Backdate for stock classes. The car pretty much needs to be how that car would have left the factory.

13. (2nd paragraph)
Except for modifications authorized below, Stock Category cars must
be run as specified by the factory with only standard equipment as
defined by these Rules. This requirement refers not just to
individual parts, but to combinations thereof which would have
been ordered together on a specific car. [cut]

Option package conversions may be performed between specific
vehicles of a particular make and model, but only between configurations
from within a particular model year. Such conversions must
be totally complete and the resultant car must meet all requirements
of this Section. These requirements are not met by simply
pulling a fuse to disable a feature which distinguishes one model
from another.

Depending on his tires he could also run CST or possibly SST. If he reinstalls the stock hood and all associated bits, the intake likely puts him in some class within the ST category.

its a 2005 e46 m3. only modifications are its tires (265/35/18 all around on street tires) and larger rotors/calipers.

I've been told I can run in STU?
