What Auto X class for a 13b powered Rx2

I have never raced a car that had all this crap done to it. What class do you think that an Rx2 with a 13b would be in? I know that I can race it in E Mod but thats a big dog class and I'd be the only one in it. I also see that there is Street Mod. The rules are a bit fuzzy about rotaries though. Rotaries 1.5 and smaller are Street Mod and rotaries over 1.5 and up to 3.0 litres and bigger are Street Mod 2. Im cool with being in Street Mod but the last time I looked a 13b was considered to be 2.6 litres. That would be Street Mod 2. And I would be pretty much al by myself in SM2. Do you guys know on this one?

Here are some pics of the car on the local forum

Yeah looks like E mod is a sure fit. I can get the car up to 2200 lbs and run in either SM2 or EP as well from the looks of things. I'll have to see how much the car weighs to get into those classes. Thanks Crit.

I think I can hang in SM2. Theres a monster turo 2nd gen running in that class form time to time that Im sure I can duke it out with. Kinda tortoise and the hair you know. Handling vs hp. Im going to weigh the car and see how much I need to add (if any) to make that 2200 lbs mark. If I cant find a scale by this Sunday then Im just gonna lie about it and say its like 2250 or some kinda bs like that. SM2 looks like a reasonable class. I'll find a scale eventually. I'm sure the car is close.
