As a non-spec, due diligence may have you doing some "other than" CSR shopping too. If the CSR can give you a good deal -- go for it, they support the fleet!
I saved about 200 bucks on my fuel cell. Remember, Summit Racing is our SCCA "sponsor" too.
When you do the fuel cell do get an internal pump, and fuel gauge if you can.
Belts - That is often a matter of many opinions. I like (and have installed) the TeamTech climbing harness-style sub strap, lumbar tie in and sternum strap. I went a bit extreme having had a head-on with an RX-7.
Similarly, I'm liking the wear characteristics of the Toyo R888s, and will move to the R888Rs when these go out - but that won't be until next season! (OK I give up 4 seconds a lap at Sebring, just for the tires, but there is that and some given up in HP too!)
Fire System - I'll go with a DIY refillable when I need a replacement.
You must be working indoors - lots of progress being made!

Going with Hoosier Street TD's for tires as this is a popular tire in vintage. I haven't purchased the belts yet, but looking at the Sabelt S622 set-up. I haven't purchased the fuel cell yet and was talking with a fellow racer that had a used one, but I think I offered him too little for it. Anyway, I was advised to just buy a new one for the piece of mind that it is new. Trying to keep rolling on this so I am not behind schedule come the end of April when it needs to be ready for my wife to go thru drivers school.
