A Mazda Factory Shop Manual for the specific make, model, and year of automobile is required to be in the possession
of each entrant. The manual may be in the form of printed material, microfiche, CDs, DVDs, and/ or Internet access to
manufacturer sponsored web-based databases that is readily accessible at time of inspection. The manual is intended to
aid scrutineers in identifying parts and the configuration of the automobile.
The items outlined in this VTS document represent the only modifications and safety items permitted and/or required on
Spec MX-5 vehicles other than safety items as required in SCCA’s current GCR Section

If the Mazda Factory Manual or these rules provide only a partial specification or no specification at all, the Mazda parts may
not be modified beyond what is permitted in these rules. Compliance will be determined by comparison to new or like parts
and/or the parts compliance measurement listing delivered by Mazda. Other approved parts with only a partial specification
or no specification available in these rules may not be modified.
Assembly, rebuild, and refurbishment procedures, and all associated dimensions must adhere to the published factory
service procedures, except as otherwise stated in these rules. No components may be added or omitted from those
specified by the published factory service procedures. All components must be comply with stated standard dimensions.
It is permitted to use industry standard procedures to repair damaged components.
