Good information - can you take a picture again once you have the universals fitted, I'd like to see how far in they sit.
Cheers, Mark.

If wanted to fix lola body for the rrr, is the v one r plastic bumper going to fit with the rrr chasis ? And wouldn't I need rear body posts too ?

You can get the VZ082 Wide Bumper set. The upper bodymount fits, but the bumper needs a little work, the screwholles don't match. For the rear you can use the stock bodyposts

I’m a bit concerned about the amount I’ve had to unscrew the pivot balls though. I think I’ve increased the possibility that they could be bent in the event of a crash. Replacing them with titanium ones is probably my next step after the upcoming race. If I had picked up the VSW007, then the pivot balls would not be an issue. I don’t know if I would have gained any inset.
Ultimately, it really comes down to shaft inset comfort level. If you’re happy with what you see and you’re not worried about pop out or partial outdrive engagement (due to suspension travel), then you don’t have to replace anything. Because the manual doesn’t specify what offset wheels come with the kit, it’s easy for a novice like me to make a $250-300 mistake by buying the wrong offset wheels. Do you toss or try to sell the wheels and buy new ones - or do you buy a VSW006/7? Because I didn’t like the inset, I choose to do the latter - which gives me more wheel choices and shaft inset adjustment options. This may or may not have been the best decision, but we’ll see.
The next time I have to purchase rear wheels, I’ll probably get them with a 1-2mm offset. Unfortunately, I don’t think New Arrows dish wheels come in varying offsets – which means that I’ll have to switch brands. Anybody got any recommendations?

I wonder what lengthening the arm with the 2mm offset hubs and 0mm offset wheels does. Seems it will affect the dampening by increasing the moment arm from the wheel to the hinge pin. I had actually thought about trying it. I switch hubs depending on the wheel offset. Normally I run long hubs with 0mm offset wheels but I'm going to try the 2mm offset in a couple weeks.

Skyline exhaust mount
I just got a nice package from Skyline. I ordered one of the exhaust mounts but found it was designed for the older topdeck. The mounting hole is now closer to the edge and more foward. Its not a big deal because I will drill a new hole.
I tried searching the thread but didn't find any info. So has the newer topdeck always had the newer hole position or is it a running change.

Are you going to drill a new hole in the top deck or the mount?
