oh btw,... D5 is guuuuhh,...ddd.......... I like it, we consider the testing is done and we'll order some for the rest of the team member (any help on the price? we don't have any Indonesian STS dealer,.. how to become one?

one little question, will I need to change the con-rod now? coz I was playing cheat by not changing it after break-in and let 'er rip on today's race, hehehe....
I still would suggest you to change a new conrod after break-in process. More less play means more lasting. The play between conrod and pin should not bigger than 0.05mm.
