Set the front more towards toe in. If you've got toe out, use less toe out. If you've got toe in, use more toe in. What I wouldn't do to get +7 degrees caster and -1.5 degrees caster at the same time

John Kelly, What do you mean by "look for what happens to the Miata in 2003"? I can think of a few things you could mean: 1) There is a rules change/reclass already scheduled for the existing model t

I think that Mazda is afraid to put the rotary in any other car before the RX-8 is established. After all, what is the real appeal of the RX-8, other than being the only rotary powered car on the US

While that's a no-brainer for you and me, Mazda really wants the RX-8 to succeed. I think they are relying in part on the mystique of the RX-7 to sell it. Now if they have two $30,000 cars, once of w
