i agree with cutting the body after it's mounted but if you have to follow the gbs rule then don't you have to cut on the lines? on the foam body the line is clearly marked gbs. also if the body is resting on the shock tower and he would have trimmed it after he mounted it, the front splitter would be very tall and that wouldn't be right either. he said that his hood is flat but the pictures of the r9-r seems to have bumps for the shock tower, maybe he just got a hold of a couple bad bodies.

I got two of the R9-R bodies (rubber is imprinted in the windshield) and they do have the bumps in the hood for the shock tower. Fit was great on the TC5 and also running the P-Dub bumper that is wider with no clearance issues at all. I still need more track testing but yesterday I raced with it and it has more steering for sure compared to the Mazda 6 with increased front downforce. Similar to the Speed6 but I need to try at another track for a better baseline since it's a permanent facility and I know my typical lap times and handling there better.

How does that R9-R body compare to our beloved Dodge Stratus?
Had anybody tested that R9-R body on indoor carpet on slicks?
Thanks

I ran one this past weekend on carpet/rubber. Very aggressive, but seems to be stable...... I did not have a Mazda to test against, but I will be comparing this weekend.

Starteur: and everyone. I was able to run the R9R on carpet, like the R9F it is FAST and it turns threw the center of the corner out better than any. i dont think that this body will replace the mazda series bodies completely but in my opinion will join those bodies among the fastest. PS: remember to pull the wing back on this body to take a little steering away if it is too aggressive. Paul
