yeah, my bad, i should have looked it up. ITB is 6" too. What SP class did they stick you in? in the old days we went to CSP based on the words "corresponding SP class" we thought that meant ITC went to CSP and ITB went to BSP. Didn't matter much because anyone in a real SP car was going to beat us. But now we understand we should be in FSP because that is where the SP 3G Hondas are.

Never argue your tab at the end of the night. Remember, you're hammered and they’re sober.
The rules say "corresponding SP class", which I take to mean whichever SP class the CRX Si is in. Used to be CSP but is now FSP. The local region put me in CSP after a brief argument (then someone objected and wanted me in GP, then argued some more, and the CSP folks won out), then I put myself in FSP this year and so far no one has objected.
I wish there were a way to set up the car to be competitive in both FSP and NXE, but alas.
It might actually be easier at this point to use the SP rules. I'd probably be more competitive.
Heck, aside from interior and tires, I think the car would go in STS

Verify the door panel thing..
We always ran the ITB car in FSP, untill I welded the diff.

I take this to mean it either needs door panels or an aluminum sheet
Carpets, center consoles,
floor mats, headliners, sun roof liner
and frame, dome lights, grab handles, and their insulating,
attaching or operating mechanisms may be removed. Sound
deadening (melt sheets) and undercoating may be removed.
Door interior trim panels may be replaced with 0.060” - 0.065”
aluminum securely attached to the door. All other interior trim
panels, except the dashboard, may be removed. Other than
to provide for the installation of required safety equipment
or other authorized modifications, no other driver/passenger
compartment alterations or gutting are permitted
The 85 to 87 CRX SI was originally list in ITA with 13x7 or 14x7 wheels. This car and those wheels may date back to the early 90's when that was a good ITA car. I raced in ITA in a Toyota MR2 back then and Eric Strelnieks and Jeff Altenburg always killed us in Eric's 85 SI. When the 88 to 91 CRX SI got listed in ITA, the 85 to 87 models were not competitive but it took a long time to get them moved to ITB.

I just put the wheels and tires on a few months ago. I compete primarily in NASA-X here in NXE and they cost me points but did not move me up a class (NASA is more competitive locally. We normally get 30-40 participants where SCCA is lucky to get 15 and I'm typically the only one in my class. Last time I was PAX FTD we had 8. ARSCCA is a lot more competitive but traveling to Little Rock for 10 weekends per isn't realistic for me). I do still have the 14x6 wheels I was using with the Nitto NT01s which I can easily use with the same size r-comps. It's only money, right?
Funny you should mention the MR2. The PO of this car also raced a 1st gen MR2. Still has it but I don't think it will see a track again.
