Like many people I found that the CVD's bind very quickly with the set screw in place. I wouldn't thread lock it, I would leave them out and put these sleeves over them. Mine have been perfect ever since doing that.

Sorry, but I found that when using Blue the pins moved on me, I had to use red to hold the pins in place, that is until I went to Top's pin holders: Link I know others have suggested these and they are GREAT. No more CVD Pin issues.... These holders cut my lap times by .2 per lap...

I checked this and I was able to fit a 41 with a 112.
However, I did find a few minor mistakes with the previous gear chart so here is a new revised version. I also updated the chart in my previous post in case anyone downloads that.

I tested it out for the first time at my local track, WCRC in La Mirada, California last night. I felt that this combo on the medium-high traction surface provided a touch more mechanical grip, although it was a bit more difficult to drive. It's certainly a nice tuning option to have available.

I'm a cheap ass so I never tried the Xray ECS shafts and went for the version 2 Spec-R ECS shafts. I've got 6 days on them and two hard hits and they are straight, tight and free. After the second hard hit one bound up a little but that was easily cleared up by cleaning the pin holes in the housing. So far I'm pretty happy with them.

I really like the thin/thin combo on the rug. In the faster classes, it gives me more steering at the expense of corner speed, but that works for me. It's one of those tuning options that requires you to bring two cars along, though.
The progressive springs were really strange for me. They create a dramatically different feeling in the car. I put them on last week and my first 3 laps were the 3 fastest I've ever turned on a layout I've been racing on a lot for 3 months. Then the car became loose and impossible to drive. I guess you could say they got progressively worse.
It really surprised me how different they made the car feel.
