Not bad. Mine weighs in at 1733 with body and transponder and approx 59mm dia tires, and 1630 without body. One other guy that I race with has his car much lighter than mine. Car definately handles much different than the stock one. I also lightened the shock oil and went to softer springs. I like my setup much better (for short tracks)

I really like the way that the car handles now, extremely nimble.

Its not really something I plan on trying, cause I like the car just like it is and resale on all those hop ups is nearly nothing.(hey, nobody keeps a car forever, especially me, so you gotta think of the future )....but I would like to know what all you guys had to do to pull off those weights.

clutch splipping=not engaging
hey all I was running my r40 and it seems that my clutch slips. when I apply the throlltle I have to give about 3/4 throttle for the clutfch to engage. I do not know if it is that the pads are worn out or that the adjstment nut tightens in time. its odd. While I was running the car today I had the clutch working well(set to factory spec), but then the clutch seemed to tightened up
I dont know if anyone has had this prob
thanks jason

whats funny is,that if you download teh PROCEED clutch instructions,they tell you to loctite the inner clutch nut...
also,try scotch brighting the shoes and bell....see if that makes any difference...
if all else fails,pop a new pair od shoes in it...
BTW,If anyone is coming to Jackson NJ tommorow,I'll be there.,...would love to meet you..

04 R40
Man, I'm really lovin the 04 R40 but its just too much for me right at this moment. Still in the process of saving for a real car and spending $300+ takes a big chunk outta my wallet. Funny how my LHS has the NTC3 at a higher price than the R40 and they seem to like the AE more. Don't know why but I always hate to hear people whine about belt issues when most racer's don't have any. Anyone still think the regular R40 is a decent buy? I just need it to horse around here in my parking lot which is really clean, and visit my old track, Floyd Bennett Field to race with some of the guys. Still thinking though the 04 has some nice options and looks better. Guess I'll wait till I get a ride, then go for the R40. What do you guys think?
