Some comments on the kit:

- Plastic is HARD. I had to grease the screws to get them in! It seems the material is similar to the associated "graphite" parts.
- Dry weight of the car BONE stock with everything minus fuel is 1806 grams. Legal IFMAR weight is 1725 so we are 81 grams over weight bone stock. Remember that that is using a AA 5 cell pack at 97grams. The AAA small packs are around 50 grams so there is 50 grams saving right there
- Some hand fitting required which I hate. The steering linkage was fiddly and you have to cut the underside of the floating mount since the top of the camber links hit under compression (this is wierd since I dont remember this happening with my RR)
- Rear arms are different. It seems that they have some material removed from the insides.
- The stickers which come with the car don't say EVO!! That sucks right there.
- Lola and sedan is accomodated.
- No body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?
- 35 shore tires front and rear are supplied. Who uses 35 shore?
- The kit setup has a ride height of 6mm front and 6.5mm rear. Seems too high to me!
- My drivetrain is tight from the get go due to the belts, needs some breakin.
- The steering rack runs on bushings not bearings!!
