those purple rods are off the pro 4....I have the lunsford's on mine.....but I'm going back to stock....

The problem is that with a 4 side nut,you can't get the right anhgle on the wrench with the shock tower in the way.....

the std 5 sided is easier...

BTW,how about that brake set up on my car?......


Don't forget to add the 3mm spacer on the tower.....

Brake Set-up? Gotta pic?

I have had my brake cam "overdriven" before and I was curious to whether your brake set-up fixes this problem.

fastharry......how do you like the adjustable swaybar

Thanks. What do you think are the essential upgrades? I do not want too many hop-ups...it is an expensive car already

Sorry, I want to build one from the ground up...I still think that is half the fun.

Brake set-up - Looks good. I am surpised more don't use the "quick-release" brake spring as you have. I like th ball cup attach too ( much easier than the Z-bend rod). Any tricks on brake servo horn or do you use the standard fuel line on the front side of the servo horn? I would like a more "gradual" way to apply brakes. I was thinking of using softer fuel line or maybe a spring on the other side? Any ideas?

Engine swapping - What is the trick to quick engine swap? I don't like to have to keep removing the support brace ( directly in front of carb ) each time a remove the engine. Soon those screw holes will get worn out and the support brace will be less effective. I also have to loosen the 2 rear upper-deck screws so that I can flex the upper-deck upwards. I try to remove the clutch side of engine upwards and then the rear of the engine secondary to pull it out.

Throttle linkage - How about a pic ? My throttle linkage rubs the fuel tank... even when I rotate the carb maximum clockwise and adjust the rotation of the carb attach ball ( whatever they call that ).

If you are getting the 2004 spec....no upgrade required.....or I should say, any upgrade OVER the 2004 spec are eye candy or too much money to spend...04 spec is race ready.

There are none...somehow you have to either remove the left upper link, or the right side brace.......I removed them both, it is a pain, but that way, I am sure I can remove the enigne completely.

Do not compare R40 to others like NTC3.........they are 2 different animal, and if you decided to get R40, you just have to deal with the removal issue.

OK - If you were to get only 2 upgrades, what are the best bang for the buck for weight reduction? Seems to me the 5-cell battery pack might be one. I did purchase a so-called light-weight chassis come to find out that the weight is identical to the stock chassis - not a lot of bang for the buck.

look

I can only get 67cc of fuel in to this tank is anyone getting
75cc into it?
I cant make a 5 min qualifier
I also installed a large external fuel filter on the car
