Well I got the back clip of the FW-05R to RR put to gether, Waiting on a chassis and such before I get the car in one place. I have the 3R rear shock tower/brace that was for the R on the car. WIth the RR its interesting because you cant torque down the inner camber link screw since thats a pivot point now. I had to get creative to keep the screw in place

Gunna build the front clip up tomorrow, and then next week get the chassis and the last few parts I want, and soon the car should be almost ready for an engine!

they have an upgrade for the link,a small bearing instead of the plastic bushing.

Well I have yet to get a reply from him. But my order was switched to processing on teh 14th. Well... that's going on a week ago with no status change.

RC-Union was on the ball getting me a previous order, but this order is going on 2.5 weeks to just get it to the point where its shipped. Fucking un acceptable. I hate ordering overseas, thats one of the biggest benifits going with something like an NTC3 you dont need to deal with all this jazz.

I paid for EMS shipping also which is making me feel even more stupid knowing that I paid to get it shipped faster just have to deal with this...

For getting Japanese kits and parts, you'd be better off buying directly from Japan. They generally do not have a web site for the online purchase but you can do it through email without problem. I've been buying from Pro Shop Futaba for about a year now and they respond quickly and I usually receive my order in a week by EMS.

But if you are buying stuff that's NOT from Japan, Hong Kong is still the cheapest way to go.

Lean. Whether you need to richen the main needle or the low depends but probably the main.

Yes.

I saw that you posted the same question in the RRR thread. Is it the FW you had this problem with or the RRR? Because if it's the RRR you might need to replace your fuel tank.
