Who did you email?

There are 2 categories racing in that footage, the Mazda incar footage is a series 6 RX7 running in a category called "Street Car"

For more info on Street Car see www.scrawa.com

Street Cars are based on sports sedans but with many restrictions including weight limits, rim size, R comp tyres only and many other restrictions. They are ment to be much like a road car, however "Street Cars" are very fast. The guys running at the front are about 3 seconds per lap of a V8 Super Car and thats with the Street Cars racing on treaded tyres!.

The other category is Improved Production Cars (IPC) CAMS recognise the IPC as technical regulations 3J Touring Cars

IPC is based on a production car with modifications. IPC is on of the fastest growing categories in Australia. The cars are closely matched and the racing is great. The lap times are about 6 seconds slower than a v8 Super Car. All turbo cars in IPC must have a 36mm restrictor on the intake of the turbo and 2 x 27mm restrictors for twin turbos, this limits HP to about 300 at the wheels, but with masive torque. IPC is a national category, they have large grids of cars racing Australia wide.

For more info on IPC visit www.iprawa.com there are links from this website to other IPC websites Austalia wide

There is more footage from available from the above links.

If you are keen on either Category contact me and I will help you on your way

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
