I was gonna type up a big long response about weight distribution, weight, time attack classes and some other stuff, but then I saw the info everyone else found and decided it wasn't worth my time
JesusFD3S (that wasn't hard to figure out btw), you're rediculous. The best way to go about this is to build a tube frame car, make sure it'll pass tech for the class you want to compete in, and drop in an awd drivetrain to fit and a fiberglass FD body that you can buy from mazdamotorsports. Get to it.

Want to buy aibrush equipment but dont know whats good and whats not.. help !
Hi, I worked with airbrushes a couple of years back, I used to paint race car driver's helmets for someone else's shop. It was the job I enjoyed the most! So now I'm looking to buy the tools but I dont know anything about brands, nor tool names nor nothing, all I know so far is to fill them up with paint and shoot.
I will be working on small surfaces ( 4.5" by 3" ) but I need to spray clear coats once done with airbrushing.
Can you experts please point me in the right direction??
Also, I need a machine that can cut small stickers to use while painting but I have no clue what they are called, I used to look for stuff on the computer, hooked the sticker paper, then clicked print, and the printer would cut the image outline.
Does anyone know what they are called and what would be a descent brand or model to begin with??
Thank a billion guys !!

Im not american, english is not my first language, Im still learning.
I never said I was building nothing. Im not expecting you to build nothing, I have the impression that ur the typical guy who steps on the gas, shifts gears and thinks "Im the man"!
The RX-7 is a competent car. However; awd cars beat them everytime.
How do you know about my connections? I've worked for NGT, Juncos, Tony Kart, and TRG. Starting when I was 16. Ive driven ngt's gt3 cup cars, I've driven tons of go Karts, Ive driven Argentinian TC2000 cars, Argentine TRV6 as well, Ive driven formula Ford, Formula Mazda, etc.
About your post count, what difference does that make? Does that makes you a better man, a better driver, a better mechanic? while you were behind a monitor writting 2k+ posts I was driving real race cars.
And yea, I do have Engineers who can build something like this. As a matter of fact, I know people who build and develop prototype class cars from scratch.But guys like you will never go past the easy bolt ons mods. And like your fd there is a bunch, yours is one among hundreads. At least someone was thinking outside the box trying to take an fd to the next level.

seriously lol.
If you want an AWD car, buy a car that comes AWD from the factory, period!
You really think you can engineer an AWD setup properly for a car that was never designed to be AWD? Mail me what your smoking cause its better then what I'm smoking.

Dude, remember in Back to the Future II where the wheels camber so much that it flys? Maybe that is why he needed other control arms... Because he was doing something so innovative that it would blow all our minds away so he can go back to the future!
