Hi Mark,......nice find !!
Both issues are easy(ish) fixes,......1st, If I recall correctly, the guide post on the K&B/Aurora 1/32 cars is 1/8 in dia., so you can order a TSRF (TSP1) guide from Professor Mtr./Electric Dreams etc., and this will be an easy installation....(the Prof. Mtr. kit does come with braid, guide spacer, and nut), although you can use the set screw collar that secures the guide on your car.
(Finding a 1/8 guide post will eliminated the need to "open" the guide hole on your existing chassis).
If you have a tire truer (I am guessing not),...you can cut the tires to equal dia., which will not only improve handling, but, will likely expose fresh(er) rubber, and improve grip.
Or,......Slot Car Corner/Electric Dreams/Prof. Mtr. etc., all sell tires for the double flanged wheels that are on your car.......it is important that you look for tires for "double flanged" wheels......these are markedly different from the center rib wheels/tires found on most newer cars.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Chris Walker
