Penguin didn't seem too interested in doing it, and it wouldn't be cost effective unless a bunch of us went in on it.
Jon Kerr told me about a local guy with a machine shop that has done work for him in the past, so I'm gonna give him a shot once I get a hold of him and see what he can do

I'm about to venture into the unknown and try my hand at racing a xxx-s, is the kit setup a fairly decent suggestion for starting out?
Having not driven the xxx-s before, i'm yet to discover what it likes and dislikes regarding sertup.

The G+ stock set-up has a bit more rear rotation to my liking, i changed to the standard rear hubs with 1 degree toe.
The springs are ok, but now im using green fronts and red rears, (pretty much Todd Hodge's socal set-up, with a few variations), also the car comes with 30wt oil... but that's pretty much your call, depending on how you want the car to react.

In the near future a company called Titanium Racing Online. Is releasing some titanium out drives for XXX-S. They also have titanium cvds now for sale. I can't wait to get my hands on them..

#4 screws in the US are roughly M3 sized, but the pitch and shaft sizes are just different enough that you'd need to buy a new chassis and rethread it to be sure things would hold properly. Threading M3 stuff into #4 holes is a great way to weaken your car.

Ahh...well then, just use the handy dandy 25.4mm = 1in conversion and you're all set. All of the holes should be plenty deep to allow the residual difference in screw lengths.

Or you could just buy Lunsford TI srews and ball studs, also the Lunsford quick tunes for the shocks are a great part.

Randman-i use the ballstuds your talking about and i like them very much. the only thing you have to do is ream the bushing out that goes through the top of the front castor blocks very slightly. then your good to go!
