Will do for sure mate. Don't hesitate to come over, me and Ed will be pitting next to the helger boys in the second room, simply because one of our mates is one of them.

Look out for that shell that's me... New shell for this round.

Hi Martin,
As Fab said, both me and him will be in the second room... I'll be running the Evo5 this weekend again, but will also have my MRE with me.

Come over and say hi, I'm sure between me and that dodgey frenchman we can help with your car

BTW... Fab, love the super sharp painting lines you have there... what did you use to mask it?

My shell, to help spot me

It's down at the Black Lion Leisure centre in Gillingham, Kent.

Details about the championship are here

www.carpetwars.co.uk

4th round is this weekend, and the two-day is the next event, on Feb 3rd and 4th.

At least they're straight... Yours looks like you were pissed when you did it, just like right now matey Or maybe it's that GAY Evo 5 that prevents you from doing Straight lines

(Note I ain't got nothing against gay people so don't get offended if you yourself are).

I have an msx and am currently using a centre and front one way but want to try out a front solid axle, so can someone please put me in the right direction with part numbers so that I can fix my centre pulley?

Hi,

I am a newbie of MRE, just want to ask Q about the change of roll center:

If I add some shims (eg. 1mm) below the Rear suspension mounts (both in the rear), then the roll center will change, right? Then what happen to the rear traction if I add more to lift up the rear suspension mounts? The car will has more / less roll at the rear??? More grip at the rear??

Thanks in advance!

Wow! That looks beautiful, what material is it made out of? And how does it hold up on asphalt?

Its laminated vinyl and the material was tested by the owner of www.dekelz.com on his xray for a 6 month outdoor season.

This is the first one he has done for the mre so it needs a little fine tuning

i applied it with Windex and a heat gun total time to apply 10min.
