Glad to have your input Mike, always nice to hear from people who have experience and want to share their advice.
Never read the rule book, only ever did it for fun. I plan to participate at least 20 some unrestricted Autocross events this upcoming summer. Everything from STI's to Skylines to early series EVO's typically show up. Doesn't matter if you are first or last, everybody comes to have a good time and push their car in a safe environment.

-Any type of boost or engine swap would put you in SM, against the BUILT mighty Evos, which you will have 0 chance.
-Anything other then Kumho V710's or Hoosier a6's tires you will be left in the dust.
-Your best bet would be to get some koni dampers when they come out with stock springs, stock sized lighter wheels with R comps and run in H stock
OR
-Quality set of coilover suspension,
rear sway bar (NOT front),
Front camber plates and have it set to -2.5* to -3* in the front and around 1*-1.5* in the back.
Have the car corner weighted and balanced.
225 sized Rcomps on 15x7 wheels.
The simple bolt ons intake header exhaust etc.
LSD
Cobalt GTS pads in front with SS lines
ABS fuse pulled out if works better without abs (i havent driven one to find out)
And anyother FSP legal mod.
The Fit will be decently competitive in H stock or FSP but no other class
