(2011) AutoX Classing Question

[UserError]

I'm looking to register for the upcoming autocross, and I'm not entirely sure on which class is appropriate for my 1986 325e. I'm not sure if the E36 rack and pinion swap I did when I refreshed my front suspension would move my car from Tuner 4 to Modified 4. My car's otherwise stock, aside from E36 M3 bushings on the front control arms, and a manifold-back "custom" exhaust from the previous owner.

I think you will be fine with T4.

Not precisely a classing question, but asking here is better than starting a new thread. My factory battery hold down was missing when I bought the car, and when I got a replacement, I found that the bolt for the retainer doesn't have anything to spin into. In the meantime, I put together a system of three zip ties to hold the battery in place, and it works quite well. Would this cause me to not pass tech?

Possibly, can't make a judgment without seeing it though... no chance you can rig something up in the next week?

we would have to see it to pass judgement
