    Default traction and fuel mixture knobs

    So I have 2 knobs, one marked Trac the other marked Fuel.

    The one Marked trac seems to have 12 settings, the one marked fuel has 4.

    Does this seem backwards? From what I could find in the documentation the fuel mixture should be at 8+ for 93octane so I'm thinking the knobs are marked wrong?

    I'm sure I'll have many more questions as I go through this car...

    Draining gearbox? Only by removing wing and gear cover or suck from top? Don't see a drain and current level is unknown.

    Oil will come out when you pull the rear cover (recommend at least every other event)

    Yeah was just hoping for the first time to not have to pull the cover sounds like the only way.

    That often eh? I only do 1 hour of track time per event so probably good for 3-4

    4-5 hours is decent interval. It’s a good preventative inspection. I’ve never found any issues in mine.

    Anyone know the fuel cell size? I googled a lot, lots of available cells to buy, they just all say "fits pro formula mazda" but don't say the size...

    I had heard 70L so that makes sense. Geez that's huge. Larger than my street car. Actually almost the same size as my truck lol
