Tommy, I will mill the chassis to use the one piece. Do you like the pulleys I milled?

Well I set my foot down and will definately get a Mugen sedan. Any of you plan on waiting to see if there is a prospec kit? I personally would rather buy a bone stock kit and try a few upgrades from skyline in which I've seen people run at ma ny events with great success. Any lil tips I should know about the stock kit? The season is dead now, but I still want to mop up any few leftover events and get some practice time.

Does the 4mm chassis makes that big a difference? Does it make the car turn better with less push?

There are different motor mount out here just for clearing those 0.5mm you need to go up (which kind of chassis you're using? Stock 3mm, Mugen 4mm, Kawahara?). The stock 3mm has a mill for clearing the crankcase by their lower side. Find a competent machinist that could make you out from a stock 7075 Aluminium sheet a pair of 0.5mm supplemental pieces just to hold your engine by the crankcase ears (or better to... by the underside of the engine mounts).
Mine motor mounts (have some) measure around 14mm high, maybe you need to look for a 14.5mm high engine mount (look on the old RRR engine mounts or similar if I'm not wrong, the original RRR had a slightly higher motor mounts).
