Those SERCCC curbs are insane, thankfully I only clipped them twice in qualifying, but in 99% of the case you didn't want to be anywhere near them.

RC Mart still sells the white short Tamiya spring, I can get you the part number for it if you want.

I think most of the guys, like Wayne, were running TP36 tyres all round. I was running the old ABC Racing Super MGRs on the front and TP36s on the rear (except on Saturday morning when I ran Spice 28s).
I think you're confusing me with Tim K, I'm Tim B His monster shell is pretty awesome. [Edit: I'm pretty sure Tim K was using a long wheelbase Cooper with AusPost branding on his M05]

I was pretty happy with the TP36 tyres, I did try TP36 front Sweep 33 rear Sunday morning but that was a disaster as the rear had zero grip. Limped around for a single lap just to sneak on the points board before pulling it off the track.
