The wide low bumper gives a bit more steering at high speeds, and imo it looks better. The lightweight foam bumper looks good to though.
Mounting the front bodyposts directly to to upper carbon plate gives the car a slightly sharper response, because front end downforce is transferred directly to the bulkheads.
My flywheel broke and I'll need another. I'm wondering if the Xray NT1 flywheel is a suitable replacement. See details.
Don't know whether this would work, but why change to an inferior part?.
Has anyone tried using an Xray NT1 flywheel? Will I need to get the Xray shoes?

With the Hudy you have to use a hammer which is less precise.
Pins can be bought from Capricorn, Team Titan or Hudy, all having about the same quality.

It really came down to timing of the incident. The part broke on Friday and there was no chance of me receiving the Capricorn part in time from our online reseller. I had hoped that this Xray part might be available at a LHS in my area but I ended up borrowing my buddy's Cap flywheel. I just hope Capricorn USA sells/stocks a black (or non red) flywheel.

I've since then obtained the correct replacement pins from Capricorn but am too lazy to replace the modified pin I made, it still remains in the flywheel.

With the controlled 37/40 tyres at the races you need all the steering you can get...

Just weighed the different options:
Standard bumper setup
Lightweight foam with carbon upper plate and cut lower support
Xray wide bumper with cutouts and my own bodypost plate.
This is lighter compared to using the stock upper plate and bodyposts
So the standard bumper setup and the xray wide bumper are pretty close in terms of weight. The upper plate I use removes a couple of grams which makes the Xray wide bumper setup a bit lighter compared to the stock setup
The lightweight foam bumper setup is clearly the lightest option.
