Dan,
For the front (inside) suspension block, I recommend using the Tamiya's Ta05 V.2 Suspension Mounts 1C-1XC (TAM54174). The other types that Mark has provided will change the front arm sweep.
For the rear (inside) suspension blocks I recommend getting the following.
1A (TAM54069) = 2.0deg toe-in
1B (TAM54070) = 1.5deg toe-in
1C (TAM54071) = 1.0deg toe-in
1E (TAM54073) = 0.0deg toe-in
*The toe-in deg is calculated by using the stock 1E in the Rear (outside).
The ideal range for Spec TC at the 'C' is between 1.0deg and 2.0deg of toe-in. The stock setup (3.0deg) provides too much grip. The extra 1E ensures that'll you have a replacement for the Rear (outside). I've only managed to bend the front (inside) blocks when I was using the 1 piece design. Never broke the split mounts... knock on wood!
Don't forget about the plastic pieces for the front (knuckles, c-hubs, outdrives for the spool).

For now I would recommend getting just the 1C-1XC block for the front (inside). If you would like to play with front arm sweep then you can pickup the rest. Make sure to pickup all of the rears (minus the 1C as you already have one on the front-inside) and the plastic pieces. Suspension mount spacers (TAM53932 and TAM53933) can also be a good tuning aid.

Hey everyone! I've been having a crazy time ever since the last time I was at the C. switching schools and other stuff. I haven't even up packed from last time. I hopefully will be out again soon! When is the TCS race again?! Can't wait to get back out, and maybe by then i will have my Dad's SS car built. I hope everyone is having a good time watching the game. LETS NOT LET THE SQUEERLERS GET A 7TH RING!

Schedule
Casey,
- Could you post the dates for the big races at "The C", like TCS, C Squared, Sedan Challenge etc. Spring will come eventually and some are starting to make their spring /summer racing plans.
- I know you posted a full schedule some time back, but I think that page is so far back now, that I'd need a FORTRAN compiler to recover it.
Thanks,
Rod

so this means i shouldn't sell the Xray and jump on the Tamiya band-wagon? haha
First qualification starts at 2 PM. But Casey wants the registrations in by 1:30 PM so he can enter them in the computer and set up the heat sheets. Call in before 1:30 PM if you can't make it there in time. That way you can still get in.
You will feel quite at home at the C. The blue TRF cars are running rampant all over the place. There are over 10 showing up on a weekly basis. There is a guy named Ray K (ex Mini Driver) who is the head TRF guy.
He is also the running 3rd in Super Stock behind 2 XRAYS.
