I'm putting together a 12A and I am wondering 1. If the comp oil control springs are a good idea, and 2. If they are a good idea, what's the mazda part number. I tried searching on Mazda motorpsorts, but didn't find anything. Tried to call, but they closed early Friday. I swear those guy's...

Hey, Looking for some help with a problem that showed up in my first race weekend this year. For a catch can, I have some heater hose running from the vent on the oil filler neck to a plastic oil bottle with vent holes in the top. After a track session, I have almost half a quart of oil in...

I run an IT7 car, and I am planning to run a test and tune on Friday (9/9), but I am concerned about my carb. The carb has been installed on multiple motors/intake mani's and it never idles well. typically I can't get it to idle at all below 2000 rpm. I have run the car once with this...

I'm trying to run the test and tune day at CMP on May27th, but I'll be in a new car, so I need a log book. Does anyone know if someone will be at the track in the morning on Friday to do the tech inspection? Does anybody know who in the Charlotte area can do an inspection prior to the 27th...

Hi, I need to mount a kill switch in a first gen RX7. I want it to be accessible when I am belted in. It would fit nicely in the left hand air vent, but I'm not sure if this meets the "easily accessible from outside the car" requirement in the GCR since, it would essentially be behind a...

I searched, but I didn't find a nanswer to this one. When I'm mounting an aluminum seat(Ultrashield Rally Sport), can I just drill holes through the aluminum for mounting bolts? Aluminum is pretty soft, I didn't know if you need to do anyhting special to prevent the holes from "ovaling out"...

I need a trailer, and I had planned on getting an 18' open steel trailer. Prices seem to around $2000 to $2500 depending on whether it has a full deck or not. Then I find a 2001 8.5 X 20' Cargo Mate for sale. I think I can get this trailer for $4k including a wt. distributing hitch. It looks...

Are there any major disadvantages to using a 79/80 model chassis as a basis for an IT7 car? I have heard that the bumpers are heavier, is this true? I know the front struts need to be swapped to get the later style brakes. Anything else? Thanks, Neil

I'm working to put together a car for the GRM2005 challenge. I need tires, but with a total car budget of $2005, I can't buy new ones. Does anyone have a set of take offs they would part with for cheap? I'd really like to get a set of Hoosiers in the 225/45-13 size if possible. Thanks, Neil...

I am starting a build up of a 1st gen for IT7. I thought the shell had a light hit that had just moved the front bumper over a couple of inches. Now that I've got it disassembled, I can see that both of the frame horns are pushed over, the driver's side is pretty twisted. There is a slight...

Is it possible for an 1985 car (with the big axles) and a sunroof to make minimum weight legally? This is with a 220 lb driver. Min weight is 2380. Right now, I'm at about 2480, and the only legal thing left to remove is the tar on the floor boards. That's worth about 20-30 lbs. Maybe I'm...

Which plugs are people using in this class? I'm assuming that the OEM spec plugs are too hot for racing. Also, I have heard about removing a stock washer or spacer to move the electrode further in the combustion chamber. Does anyone have info on this? Thanks
