Skinny tires and 'steelies' are just cheap OE choices for the owner to purchase proper track wheels/tires.

Sealing an engine (via non removable bolts, think security door screws) and usually with a 'seal of approval' keeps competitors from tearing into the internals for the sneaky-sneak approach to winning races/faster car in a 'spec' series, like the Spec Miata or Sealed spec Miata groups here in the states.

Yeah, bring on the ducts and the proper floor mats for LHD.
