Not sure what you have in the way of 'hardware/home improvement stores" but there are pictures of the items as they look on the shelf.

I am really enjoying your posts.
I raced a 1979 Mazda RX7 many yrs ago in SCCA Showroom stock Solo II. (racing solo in large parking lots laid uot with pylons/cones)

Sweet re the Ducting- we're planning to cobble something like that together- its a heavy old car to pull up!

Sounds like you did what we call "Auto testing"- that stuff is far too skillful for the likes of me.. sounds like a sweet car you had though- was that one without the Rotary lump?

I'm also thinking that we'll reduce the tyre sizes on the car drastically- the 225/65/15's are HUGE bits of rubber, and wheels could do with being as light as possible..thinking 205/50/15s

that would give a circumference drop from 83.3 to 72.5 inches..

What do folks think?

I know it'll throw out the speedo, but thats not too important- we're measuring mileage by using the following methods:

Known Fixed distance to/from track (Google mapped, then verified using my 318iS mileometer)

Known distance of track x number of laps.
