That is what you think Hugo. If I don't let you in my car, you won't be able to pick yours up from our LHS

4 --- HEX SCREW SFH M3x10 (coned) --- lower bumper brace (4)

If you plan on using lighter titanium screws, I'd suggest that you DO NOT replace the following:

* all screws mounting from the bottom of the chassis - you'll probably have to add weight to make the minimum requirement for rubber and foam rules, and adding it up higher would defeat the purpose
* all suspension holder mounting screws - the titanium ones will bend more easily in a crash and introduce tweak through differing arm geometries

If you plan on using steep camber angles with large shims under the outer links, then you'll need to switch the following:

* Replace the 2 HEX SCREW SH M3x12 (button head) with 2 HEX SCREW SH M3x14 (button head) for the rear links
* Replace the 2 HEX SCREW SH M3x14 (button head) with 2 HEX SCREW SH M3x16 (button head) for the front links

NOTE: The kit comes with the latest *black* coated screws which resist binding to the CF much better. As per the manual, we still suggest applying a thin layer of CA with a Q-tip to the counter sunk holes on the bottom of the chassis. Make sure you wipe away the excess CA from the flat surface on the top and bottom sides of the chassis.

Care should be taken when installing titanium screws as it produces a galvanic reaction with aluminum and can essentially 'cold weld' itself to the material...

pre-coating the titanium screws with grease or an anti-seize compound like this: http://www.finishlineusa.com/products/index-sieze.htm should be considered...

Just ask your local bicycle shop...

Thanks Guy.

GK

Is the drive train ratio still 1.7? And will the belts from FK05 fit? Sorry if these were already asked before, couldn't find it...
Thanks.

I don't think people realise how easy it is to search now that you can search within threads on this new forum software...it's a lifesaver for some of these monster threads!!!

GK

True, assuming you type what you search for with correct spelling, not like me
At least I didn't ask if US kits come with multi diff or ball diff

does the front end chatter with the new cvds? Or is it fine with full throw? Also does it come with a 3mm upper deck and carbide diff/trust balls? I know Xray's add said so, but it also said it was subject to change. Also is there only one adjustment on the rear shock tower for roll center? Just wondering. All I can do is drool at this point!

teamgp

I haven't seen on the workbench/track or heard of anyone experiencing chatter from the new axles. The new axles don't have the thick lip as the old hex hubs did. Full throw, and more, should be fine. Both upper deck pieces are 2.5mm and the shock towers are 3.0mm. The diffs come with carbide thrust bearings as well. The front and rear inner camber links use the new offset XRAY Quick Roll Center holders which provide four positions (high/inner, low/inner, high/outer, low/outer)

GP,

Have you had a chance to check out the diffs, I know you just ran it as is, but do they have more grease in them than the 05 diffs had? specifically the thrust bearing?

Do you know if the diff balls are also carbide or just the trust ball assembly? Both would make the value of the kit over the top. I was hoping for a 3mm upper deck, but oh well. I'm glad to see the shock towers are 3mm and don't differ like the TF TC4. I'm going to love to work on this car. Need traction? Just remove some screws. Need less as traction? Make it stiffer. My tc vision has come true!
