Wait - if you started Friday, that means how many days of track time?  WOW!  

Well, from the sounds of it, it was a success (isolating problems being a good thing).  Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer to help, beyond hearsay.

1.  no info.  Were you running the factory upper mounts?  I know those are notoriously weak.  I can't imagine how bad that would be w/ a race sprung car?

2. &nbsp;Yes. &nbsp;I've heard some of the local rx7 guys bitching about how fast the 325's are. &nbsp;You could always call Sunbelt <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;(do you know what those guys are getting out of their ITS 240 motors?)

3. &nbsp;I've heard mixed reviews on replacement of the subframe bushings (mixed in a random way, not good/bad). &nbsp;Going solid is definately bad - unless you are a drifter or dragger (reduces wheel hop when tires are spinning). &nbsp;The replacement stories I've heard ranged from no difference to a more solid feel. &nbsp;People I trust had reviews that said replacment was noticeable only in power on, when the weight shifts rearward. &nbsp;The benefit is supposed to be a more linear feel (so that you can feel traction better) w/o being so rigid as to void the functionality of the design. &nbsp;

If you troll backwards for a post on subframe bushings, you will find one of our members (something like s15sr20detek6... I know it has s15, sr20det, and ek6) who recently installed the Nismo subframe bushings on an s14. &nbsp;He also has an rx7 ITS car, so he might be a good source of info. &nbsp;I think he did that job back in early april/late march-ish.
