Body kit
I'm lookin for an actually functional body kit for a 94-95 RX7 that will keep the car glued to the ground at speeds above 180.....

Nothin's gonna keep you "glued to the ground" in speeds over 180mph, like say a ferrari or a carrera GT. The best you can do is get an undertray, canards for the front bumper, a big-*** ugly aluminum wing, and maybe a rear diffuser. Best bet for bumpers would be '99 spec with the lip or a mazdaspeed because they have actually been tested for aerodynamics. sideskirts, use your best judgement...
wrong section BTW...

What engine is in it doesnt really matter if youre just asking about aerodynamics. The race section would be more pertinant. Go ahead and ask there yourself though... Carl Byck has done some aero **** on his FC so he seems to know whats up.

My point was if you are a experianced driver that should be going 180mph you should have more than a couple ideas to make it stick to the road.. my 2 cents..

The couple of times I've been they run the 2.9 mile road course setup. IIRC you'll be able to approach ~150mph on the back oval before pucker factor sets in.
The stock aero package is fine for those speeds. If you want something a little better go with the 99spec stuff (splitter, bumper, and wing). That's one of the few aero packages that has any wind tunnel testing at all.

Only place I would do such things is the Texas Mile.
