Ok rear mounts with spacers
Front mount showing how close to motor plate it is
I used a 1mm and a 0.5mm washer on each end of the suspension pin for a really snug fit, well greased! Sorry didn't realize how out of focus the motor plate was.

I took some time to add the spare washers I had left to the rear pulley mount to add a bit more tension to the center belt. So more adjustability on the belt tensioner.
I see you haven't worked out what those o-rings on the shocks are for? I discovered the other day when I was cleaning them up and changing the oil that on the inside of the adjuster is a recess that the o-ring fits into to keep the thread clean!

He has bought himself an assortment of 3racing alloy pulleys? I know he is running a 14T on the front and 13T's on the center and a 21T on the rear to get a CS ratio of 1.90.
I dropped my bloody radio again out of the box with my car, I was just getting ready to get the car out for a quick session while my misses was in the dentist. I didn't even get a go! It landed right on the di-pole switch I had rigged up. That's the second time I've done the exact same thing! So I moved the switch again to a position that would be much harder to hit on the ground if it does happen again.

hope it didn't mess it up too much.
btw..with those spacers you used on the rears..it's not too tight? you still have good play that the lower arms don't bind?

Yeah the radio fell out of the box I cart my car around in, I tried to catch it with my foot but it bounced off my leg and spun so the switch I had added to it hit the ground first ramming the post inside itself. I have a cheap GT3C and the original switch is inside the wheel after a while the wires start to bind and get weak then break, so I re routed the wires to a switch at the back, but I put the switch in a bad position cause this is the second time I've dropped it on the switch and had to replace it so I moved it to a position above the webbing between thumb and finger on the hand grip, If it hits the ground again the switch won't be damaged. But it will probably break the lcd next time.
After I fixed my radio again I took the car for a blast at my favourite space except it was raining so I had to take it under cover on tarmac which responded more like my LHS drift track really slippery!

I guess you could adjust the wheel base by about 2 to 2.5mm per wheel in either direction to fit your body better? I just wanted to shim it to decrease any play in the arms and it worked out well!
I'm going to have to shim mine as well. I thought about it before to move the track rearwards since the rear toe puts the rear wheels forward slightly.

Did u have to tweak the firmware of the GT3C? I wonder if it is plagued with same problems as the GT3B?
Hope u still had some good practice...Im on day 2 of 72hrs straight...so I won't be able to practice at my LHS until Friday probably :-(

I'm using a GT3B..bought the card to program it with...but haven't done the mod yet. Hope that's the last of your worries with that switch.

So you can work on your car at work and post online, that's pretty cool other than doing 3 shifts straight
