Just so I feel better...has anyone marred their shock bodies before? 
Live and learn.
I noticed that my engine did not need the washer for the flywheel collar; however, the flywheel is nearly 1.5-2mm gap off of the engine bearing. The endplay has movement but I'm not using any shims. I was also not able to get the 1.2mm thread exposure from the clutch spring retainer - maybe .8mm. This has to be from the flywheel being raised a tad.

I had the same problem with my flywheel. It didn't slide onto the cone far enough to get any adjustment/shimming on the clutch. I used a body reamer to enlarge the hole in the flywheel and now it fits fine. I know that is probably not the proper way to do it but it worked. You will need to use pliers to get the preload nut tight (1.2mm). It doesn't matter where the flywheel is mounted because that nut tightens onto the nut that hold the flywheel on.

Running 198 in the front is great for low-traction tracks. Running it narrow lets the car turn better in better and carry more corner speed. Cyrul ran his really narrow in Brazil. Run a lower rear toe and catch even more corner speed. But it will be more aggressive and might be a handfull to drive.

I didn't realize that my gears were stripped - just that my car wasn't moving. I tried revving the engine a few times, but nothing was happening. I heard an engine with a high-pitched whine, but didn't realize it was mine until the race directory said, "Rainer, that's not going to help you."
Someone pulled the car off of the track and stopped the engine for me.I have notice when the pinions get that worn they tend to strip the spurs quite easily....What I do when i dont want to spend the extra loot on pinions and Im trying to get by with the ones currently on the car........is check the mesh once the mesh loosens up because the pinions got some wear just try to re-mesh them and it mght save a couple of runs...unless you have the loot to change them once they have some wear...

I could not figure out what happened until Robert made me try another pipe and it ran perfectly.
As for your misfortune, if you hit the rail that could cause the strip either from flexing the chassis, a sudden stop of the tires or gears or shifting the engine.
Better luck next time.

Question About the WCE
I am looking at getting a new touring car, but I have a lot of tires still that are all 0 offset front and rear. Could these still be used on the WCE version and if so what problems will it cause ?
Thanks
