I'm having a 3.3mm and upperdeck made next month.

That is top secret information...any leak will put me in the pits..

He also did my BD chassis...it was nice...

As soon as the first set is done...I'll let you guys know...
it may or may not have the 3-d cutting of the battery slots. I was informed it is a difficult process and may be cost prohibitive.

Type B is the newer high downforce body shell... comparable to the Mazda 6.
still have to paint mine up.
hehe i never said ride accord, i said ride in general
thanks for the info on the diff tween A and B, i was wondering myself. The B looks RIDICULOUSLY good, looks like it should make VERY good downforce.

has anyone used the ride stratus MKII or MKIII?????

i like the mkIII the best too. it has lots of downforce and tons of steering. more than a mazda 6.

the ACCORD has even more steering then the mkIII


if you want a low friction belt you can use the xray fk05 front belt. it freed up my drivetrain quite a bit.
