Ok, point by point answers:

1: I use Castrol GTX 20-50 in the summer time and Esso WinterFlow 0-30 in the winter. (It can get to -40 Celsuis up here.)

2: There are no replacements for the distribtutor in stock form. Use the Mazda cap and rotors. You can install a MSD system for direct fire. The stock ignition coils are good, but the MSD Blaster's are a touch better. The Accel's you have now are just as good as the MSD's.

3: I use NGK wires on my car, but any good quality wire will work.

4: Use the cheapest gas possible in your normally aspirated rotary. Anything more is a waste.

5: Use REDLINE Synthetic oils in your transmission and differential. You will feel the difference.

6: A good exhaust eh? Racing Beat Nothing else comes close in sound, durability or power gains than the RB system. It may be costly, but it will last forever. and give you 20% more power. Whatever you do, don't get a Monza system, evidently they can produce a power loss. Do a search of the forum and you'll see plenty of complaints concerning the Monza's.

7: Vacuum measurements? If you're talking about hose sizes, I really don't recall. I'll have to let another guy take a crack at that one.

You seem to be on the right track, so keep on the regular maintinence and you'll be fine.

I certainly hope you don't speak like that.
