I don't know my classing that well, but I think for STS2, your coilovers, tires, and front sway bar is okay. Not sure about the diff though.

Is it a oem diff? If so you're still in STS2. Taken from the 08 rulebook: "Further, as in STS, only original equipment viscous limited-slip differentials are legal in STS2."

Miata diff : if it is the stock VISCOUS type it is still STS2 legal. If it is NOT a viscous type (i.e. a Torsen...which is the OEM limited slip on all 94+ Miatas) then you are in CSP.
STX : 2.0L WRX goes there. 2.5L WRX goes to STU. A motor-swapped 02-05 WRX (that is otherwise STU legal) cannot run in STU, since no motor swaps allowed in STU. That said, if you talk to ALL of the local STU competitors they might allow you to run there anyways on a "Gentleman's agreement" for local stuff.
Weekend Membership/Guests : expect some more info later this week (after our Steering Committee Meeting). Most of what Gagan posted is right, but a few things might change and we can essentially maintain the same "guest" program we had last year even though official terminology would change (i.e. you are not a "guest", you are a "weekend member" )
. Gagan : I thought I sent you a copy of all the Weekend Membership stuff I have received...if you didn't get it, let me know and I'll resend.

Cool. I want to talk a few friends into picking auto-x up. Some of you guys know how it is. It is like pulling teeth.
Oh... my car isn't fast enough. Oh... I don't have money. Oh... I don't want to scratch the paint. Oh... [I dump money into my car, but I don't drive it at all]. Oh... [fill in excuse here].

"Boondoggle" is a name that was given to the first event quite a few years back (1999?). This is because it is always a BIG turnout, and can seem like a Boondoggle (aka clusterf*** ) sometimes to the event organizer end of things...
