Old [Sch|F]ool
Camber plates with no caster. They actually removed the control arms and shimmed the bushing in order to move the arm a little more forward.
Stock tall radiator with an oil cooler in front - which surprised me.
edit: j9fd3s is probly right, RX-4 unit
Is the oil cooler vertical or horizontal?
Rear end has an unequal length panhard bar.

yeah none of the old school comp stuff is around anymore i ran the number threw the mazda part computer at my friends work. Prices are still there. Last known price on mazda pp houseings was around 700 bucks!!!!! thats a **** ton seeing as how they prob havent been sold for 15 years lol
I believe they normally retail for $1800ish... apiece.
MFR PP housings are still "mandatory" for several race classes... they need to be MFR not aftermarket like RB or custom one-off. Which is okay since they're supposed to be better than any of the aftermarket housings anyway. Just a *lot* more expensive.

Sacrilege! If he's not gonna drive it, he should let somebody else have it. Cars are meant to be driven and racecars are meant to be raced -- in vintage events and track days, of course. If it's just gonna sit, why not just buy a poster of it -- a lot cheaper & just as useful.

does the car run? its been sitting for a while so i it would be risky wouldnt it? ok so everyone would just say rebuild it, but didnt that motor have some mazda racing engineers to rebuild it for optimum performace? or was it just a oem motor and build the hell out of the things around it like the manifold and carb stuff. just something i thought of.
