See if you can find someone who will allow you to rent their car so you can drive before you buy. These cars arent for everyone. Also, if youre a normal person it will take a bit to get used to the speeds. I personally had 2 days before I did my first race and really i should have done one more test day before doing the race. Coming from Spec Miatas, these cars get in your mirrors extremely fast. You need to be on your toes at all times so allow yourself as much time as you need to get comfortable before entering a race environment.
Please, can you refresh my memory of a coupla' Formula Mazda details?? 1) Is this a wet or dry sump system?? 2) Is Daryl Drummond still providing the sealed engines?? I know he moved from Bakersfield, Ca, to Colorado. Cool guy, spent an afternoon watching him test/dyno refreshed engines. 3) Which transaxle is used?? Thanks in advance.
These are wet sump, daryl still rebuilds them but there are no more new parts so he can only rebuild what you have. The transaxle is a hewland mk9 i believe
@@bsracing90 Thanks, IMHO, I think the Formula Mazda is a better deal for club racing than any F/Ford, Recall a National points race at Buttonwillow including the F/Mazda's the Rodriguez Bros were there in support. Enough onboard spares to build several cars. One fella went off big time Sat, broke virtually every susp. piece. Overnight, Rod Bros rebuilt the entire susp, was ready next day to race.
Hello, Thank you for the videos, im doing a similar build(rebuild) with my FM, I was curious as to how to were able to locate the correct location of the holes for the cockpit cover dzus fasteners.
Congrats man! I saw your post on the FB page for Spec Miata. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am on Year 2 and loving it. I completely redid the interior and exterior on my car, progress is all on Instagram if you want ideas.
Because when its raining you need the light on at all times so you can see the cars in front of you. The plash from the other cars makes it impossible to see so if you dont have that light on the car in front of you, you wont see it.
