Masami and Noato will be there from Japan. I'm not sure if who else will be attending the worlds for Yokomo. Maybe Chris Grainger from Europe?

Good luck, hopefully you can update your blog after the worlds....

Yokomo always has a small team but always well represented.....

Something I spotted being used at the 08 Japan Nationals, so I thought I would try.
Your thoughts

Yea that steering plate looks great, i just changed mine to the Trf steering rack but the blue dosent match That one looks way better.

There the Bd/Sd sway bars, they work a lot better than the older ones IMO.

I will be trying this later this year, now that I have a second car that is being rebuilt and has most of the mod done.
So far the tyre (Australian) wear is quite acceptable for my style of driving as I have always had plenty of steering with the BD and never had to use full lock with the standard setup. I have owned this car from when they were originally released, but has been on the shelf for the last 2 years while I played with a TOP and a 416.
Recently I put the BD on the track again and blew the lap times of the 416 away. Some cars I just can't get settled with
