Can't remember :lol: :lol: the words "Darkside" "Vision" and "Clouded" spring to mind! :lol: :lol:

I've got a load of Ti screws on order aswell as some springs and some stuff for my Surikarn.

:) Sweet... I cant afford to get Ti screws now so I will have to wait a little... I want to get the car first. I am worried I will order all the little thing, but then when I place the order for the car, I can afford it and will have to wait another month.

Julius, are they worn down evenly, so both front and rear are @56mm at the end? What do you think about a little higher OD ratio, say 0.5mm larger front tires? Thanks.
On the day of this test the front/rear wear was pretty even. I started with a 0.5 split (fronts smaller) and ended up with equal tire sizes.

With same size tires on the 710 you have a little overdrive. If you use more overdrive the turn in (using a one way) is better as the fronts try to slow the car when you get off throttle. Out of corners you will most likely get a little more stability/push than with a 1:1 ratio. Because of the tendency to get oversteer into corners a large front overdrive does not work on slippery tracks. Than you will be better of using a front diff for stability.

In very tight twisty tracks an overdrive might be helpfull. We'll see if a 21 pulley is a worthwile option.
There are no plans yet so no need to ask for release dates :D

What would I do if I dont have a mechanic to refuel my car... where would I get one from... I work too long and hard to have friends... I wonder if I can get my Girlfriend to do it...

Bad idea, BaxterC, bad idea :lol: Ask Lord D and myself - never, ever get Girlfriends involved - never even let them know you've got a car! :nod: And if they do find out, make sure they only see one of your cars at the same time! You can get into big trouble!!
The great thing is - all cars look alike to girlfriends, so if you're clever, you can have quite a collection and they'd never know :lol:

Ask D, he'll give you some good hints at "car-hiding" :lol: :lol:

Other than that, you'll get to know some guys at the track and they'll be able to help out on race days - on practice days you won't need much help in re-fuelling
