what exactly are the limitations for night stages? or can you pretty much just use any vehicle? is it the average speed type rallying?

loads of them really. I'm not totally sure on them all. I just know that using something like a corsa I cant do anything to the throttle body etc.... Its all gotta look standard. So cams etc are fine and chips... heard theres something that you can do to the fuel rails on an ecotec? anyone know wot gearbox would fit the 1.6 engine with a closer ratio?

Not sure about mods on the standard TB. Inlet manifold is popular mod but it won't look standard.

You've probably already got a CR box as well. You may be able to shorten the final drive but from memory I'm not sure what donor you need for it.

Probably comparable. Would this put you in a different class?

Its a second to 60 according to the book figure. Nothing that you couldn't find with tuning but starting with more will always work out better.
