Atsushi Hara and David Jun battle it out for the first few laps as Barry Baker announces... Enjoy!

Ouch, you had to post this Ral, LOL. My car was good in the middle of the day but poor tire choice I think on my part for the main, I might as well been drifting, but it was fun getting spanked by these guys.

BD and BD5 diffs are interchangeable. I recently ran a Spec R BD5 gear diff in my old BD, no problem.

If you mean the old tub-chassis MR4, then no they are not interchangeable.

If you mean the BD, then yes they are.

Get yourself a 44.2 FF block Dan, makes the car really easy to drive and somehow more steering!

Ant,

I thought they were only using those new front blocks for carpet racing. I have them here at home, but haven't tried them at Whalan yet.

I have not seen the new DCJ's advertised as yet. I am still waiting for some Yokomo stuff I ordered from Kschu. Has been sent, expecting it this week, so I can rebuild my shocks.

Calvin.
