Here is some more info from a reliable shop site:-

Schumacher MI4CX Due early November Price to be confirmed. Much more info below.

After perusing Chris Craingers Mi4CX touring car at Newbury indoor track(UK), below are the facts and some additional changes that Chris actually runs with.

* Black lightened T6 Aluminium Bulkheads front and rear.
* Extra stand on front and rear bulkheads screwed to chassis to compensate for lightened bulkheads.
* New drive shafts with wider pins and no blades. Proven to last an exceptional period of time before replacement.
* New rear diff outputs. Also in black.
* New Chassis to allow newer bulkheads.

Other facts.

* No dual crank steering system.
* No changes to the anti-roll bar mounting positions.
* No big bore shocks.

Changes that Chris solely runs with but not on production Mi4CX

* Counter sunk screws where possible including on hinge pin holders, shock mounts, etc
* No countersunk screws on top deck but rather just button head hex screws to allow for movement(no countersunk washers used, as supplied in kit anywhere!)
* Much thicker shock mounts/towers front and rear(5mm approx).

Only other thing to add is that the car looked very consistent around the twisting indoor track.

Black bulk heads. Thats reason enough to buy the kit
