Advice needed for Autocross tires and tire configuration.
Another thought is front castor and camber setups. This might be a challenge for a street driven car but I would expect alignment settings would help with the oversteer

Quick steering knuckles are shorter steering arms on the bottom of the front struts. They connect to the tie rods on the steering rack. The shorter length means steering inputs cause more tire movement for the same input versus stock knuckles

LSD is probably the biggest thing to help with traction

I think I would consider adding a trailer hitch and a small enclosed utility trailer. Haul the tires, a floor jack, spare fluids a few tools in the trailer. I can't help with the tires. Do you have a limited slip differential?

Where does the bottom of the A pillar open to? The hollow area where the door hinges bolt? The hollow area where the fresh air vents connect the is the upper support under the fenders?

Still struggling with car at idle after 8 years
Only if it wrong. If the float level is right then don't change it. I also agree, I still think there is a spark issue!

I wouldn't think temp rating would be a huge problem . Max temp is probably 225°F or so. After that it's overheated anyway

1977 280z: Randomly running VERY rough
Well your lash pad might not be sitting deeper. If you went to thicker lash pads the wear surface would be taller compared to the bottom surface. So even if it sits on the valve the same way it would appear that its not sitting as deep. Did that make sense?

It is my understanding that Chester and Herod make the most accurate carpet kits. I can't speak to cut pile or not but the backside of the carpet looks correct. On the template, do you have a way to scan documents. If you do, you could scan it in several passes. It should print pretty close to 1:1
