It was stored for the last 7 years or so and I want to do a variety of things to get it prepared for next spring. Things like flushing radiator, drain fuel cell, change all fluids, check torque on all bolts/nuts, etc., etc. The current radiator fluid is green so I'm assuming it may have auto antifreeze in it now. I'm finding Pro Formula Mazda rules/specs but virtually nothing for Standard FM. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Fluid specs, alignment specs, inspection procedures, repair procedures, blah, blah, blah...???? Thanks & regards, Mike

This year I was in your position and have been looking for the Holy Grail as well. Guys have been great sharing info. Here is the stuff specific to SCCA-open the 2009 GCR which is the General Competition Rules. There is general stuff and class specific. http://scca.org/contentpage.aspx?content=44 If the car is not current in the log book, you may be due for belts (Crow Enterprises will certify their own or others at very reasonable cost-less then buying new and fuel bladder. As you may already know MosesSmithracing.com is an excellent source for parts. Steve

I'll try and send you a package of stuff that I've collected over the past 5 years; much of this stuff has been gleaned from old threads. The good news for you is, now the search function actually works; didn't exist when I was starting. Anyway, I'm out of town and out of pocket right now, but will try to find the package I've sent to previous noobs. Where are you located and what group will you be racing with? Also, what's your background with race cars and mechanical things in general? You going legal and getting the motor seal updated? Ted FM #13 Shoe String Racing

I have already downloaded the SCCA 'Formula' section and read through the FM section. I was expecting more FM detail in the SCCA rule book. Assumed I was missing something. The car was stored for 6 years prior to me getting it. I have the original log book. I assumed I'd need new belts but hadn't thought about the fuel cell. I'm already building my list of things to purchase from MSR ha ha. :-) Mike

Sending that material would be very helpful and I'll be very grateful. As an example of the kind of things I'm looking for... I've searched this forum quite a bit, as well as Google, for a gap recommendation on the NGK R6725-11 spark plugs. I found 2 refereces via Google and they are very different. Also, my car appears to have the R6725-11's installed for all four cambers. I guess typical RX-7 13B engines had different plugs for trailing and leading cambers? And that's just one example of where I'm scratching my head and wondering wath the heck... ha ha :-) Mike
