sorry for the dumb questions but im curious to see what some mugen owners have to say
Josh, the only little niggly problem i had was the 2nd gear bearing was loose in the housing causeing the housing to move and strip a few gears before i found the problem. The other thing is i broke a couple of rear shock towers including a 4mm one, but since i cut the tops down on the body posts i havent broke another. I cant answer your side exhaust question i am sorry. Dont appolagise for the questions they are not dumb. Anyway how can a National drag racing champion ever ask a dumb question?

I have seen a side exhaust in a MTX3, it requires that the rear bar is not used and that some of the rear bulkhead be ground away. It also requires a side exhaust motor with a SG shaft. It can be done, but you mangle a perfectly good Mugen in the process.

Yes, the PRO one is more open.

The openings on the clutch keeps the heat within spec.

Ha ha Mr price i am a spy that is my job. Nah truth is after i saw you name on here i thought i recognised the race number and went through one of my Dragster books and consequently found your pic and pic of the race car.

Cheers Daniel

P.S Dont worry about the speed of the pro tourer its all good fun.
