Not a chance. The lightest class in autocross (meaning the class that should have the slowest times) is h-stock and that can be easily dominated by the 89 Civic or a non-force induced Mini. The car might be ok in really tiny regional autocrosses, but nothing that holds any weight.
As far as tire size goes, you'd be surprised. I can fit a 275 on the Rolla and thats saying alot.
