I'm curious, but wouldn't your exhaust take you out of the stock class since you removed most of the cat?
I haven't kept up with autox tires lately, but you may want to consider the STU class if the car qualifies, which I am not sure that it does. Otherwise, may want to try R888 tires, shaved, which you can drive on the street with. Depending on what you mean by 'getting serious,' you may have to buy one of those small tire haulers and have hitch mounted on the car. My opinion is that I would not get too serious with the CS in autox, I don't think it can really do much against its competition in the class it is now. May be if it is moved into SCCA's AS class, but otherwise not worth spending any money on the car to be competitive.

For PCA autoxing, in stock form it performs the best and I don't think any other P-car can touch it, so no need to spend any money, except putting some Falken Azenis or Bridgestone 050s.
