If you've never autox'd before, I wouldn't go the KSC, just go to a regular club event to get your feet wet.
Mods hurt! Especially if you've only got a few. For example, a different size wheel, puts you into a class called Street Mod. You're allowed other mods in that class, but if all you have is wheels, which don't really help, you've just moved up into a class with modified cars.
Running a stock car and driving it well will get you higher up on the chart. In fact, the faster you can be with a slower car, the better you'll do. If you're serious about autoX, you have to get all the variables just right. The right car, the right mods, and of course, top notch driving.
That all being said, when I go to autocross, I honestly don't care how I stack up against everyone else. I use a 55hp car, and have a riot. If you can take your time from your first run, and consistently lower your time from there, you're making progress, so who cares how everyone else is doing.

heya.
just thought i'd drop in and say hi to everyone, being another driver out there in vancouver.
only had my 350 for just over two weeks now and its my first japanese car but lovin' it so far
guess I should contribute to the whole spotted theme so I saw a nice black 2IS a day or two ago on pacific boulevard with rims and a kit, very sexy.
