You can go to the Grass Roots Motorsports website and order the back issues
containing their project Mazda powered Spitfire. I've got all the back

Their website is: www.grmotorsports.com. You can get the Rotary Spitfire
project update from the main page; click Project Updates, then click Rotary
Spitfire.
