Thanks 97Clemow. You're right. They are body height adjusters. Thanks.

Nice to see these are still raced!

I have the Exotek v1 kit with Yokomo suspension and TRF 419 damper stays along with 419 shocks.

Also have one of a kind Raceberry Edition of EVO5. Only 3 world wide exist and one is with me and another 2 with friend of mine (yes, they are all in Germany).

TB EVO 6 black edition shocks on it, as it suits the car really well.

Spec R diffs front and rear, 5k at the back and 1mil at the front.

Clean looking car mate,nice call with the suspension, got any pics of the other?
I curious to see what it looks like.
We've always raced a spec style race class here and always had good fun with Tamiya shafties. I started with an evo 3 10 or 12 years ago. They have always needed a little bit more than what you get in the kit to get them going but once you do they work well.

Does the TRF 419 Shock Towers (Damper Stays) fit the Evo 5?


Thanks

It's other way around, as you can see I'm running 419 in my v1 kit.

Default Evo 5 settings

I see you are running the specr diffs front and back, is this on carpet or asphalt. and how is the handling those oil settings in the diffs.

cheers Dave

I drive my EVO's only indoor on carpet.
We found the Spec-R diffs to be much smoother as Tamiya diffs.
But preparing one diff is a long process as it's completely custom built.
We don't use the supplied spec r out drives but rather enlarge the out drive holes and use tamiya diff out drives. With this we can run the 3.5mm blades front and rear. This definitely helps the front CVD's live longer

Running front diff helps the car to be little bit mor forgiving on the curbs.
5k at th back works for me as I drive mostly on high grip carpet.

I use spec r diffs on all my EVO's, even in exo 6.
