I think it helped the car and especially the tires, that the rear tires stayed cooler. How he did it, don't ask me.
I think he drove very cautious with a lot of roll through the corners thus not overheating the tires. Bring back Sorex 36 and 5 minutes heats and I think more people will attend modified. Now it´s pretty meaningless.

Back to the car. Even with the Sorex 36 I experienced it loose on-power with V1 mount. Going down on diff oil will reduce this? Now I´m using 2000/2 gears.
