have you thought about running the longer rear springs on the front? I think it makes the car more comfortable over those little annoying bumps.

note the weight savings on this gear in the lower left, the previous owner seemed to have removed a tooth from the gear via some miracle of driving hehe.
Needless to say this gear is not going back in.
Since I am pricing out the steels. it seems a Kawahara center conversion costs just a tad more than 2 kyosho steel gear sets.
The gear that was in this car is a 40 front and rear for the ring, It was perfectly setup for the course I drive on in the summer. I am a bit worried that the Kawahara conversion would be a bit too much high end on the FDR than what I want for this course.
Its either that or I am going to buy 2 39 or 40 tooth steel ring gear sets.

New ZT1 for FW05RR
Hey guys recently ordered a FW05RR along with a Full kawahara ZT1 conversion. Only still waiting apparantly there is a new ZT1 coming out this month for the RR.
I was advised that the old conversion wont suit the new RR, is this true? I wonder what changes will be made with the conversion.
Also what gear ratio do you recommend on a OS 12TR P Turbo and a OS12TR, on a flowy mid size straights.
Thanks,
Luie

I pulled my engine from last season apart and see now that its pretty worn, so I am looking at getting an OS .12TR Turbo 5 port. Any comments on that engine choice for the FW-05R?
