I thought there was a rule where you at least had to have a part number for the chassis kit, or they had to sell so many before....but maybe I was misinformed. Anyway....there is a part number out there for the TC4 so it on its way.....when who knows. Have fun waiting....maybe it wont be like the TC3 and you have to wait 1 1/2 years for it.

Honestly, can Anyone see what differences AE will make if they keep the shaft/tub design (which I think they wil with the amount of succes they have had with it). The Yok is a preveiw of the TC4.

Hopefully the new car will come with some carbon fiber shock towers for the bling. I also hope it comes with bigger bearings so that the small ones don't wear out so quickly. The diffs could be put in a better location and the motor cam could be notched so it's easier to make adjustments.

Actually, I think the biggest improvement they could make would be the build quality... Or include a mallet with the kit to help with parts fit if its anything like a TC3?

I think that's a pretty correct statement... The MR4TC SD CGM is what the TC4 could pretty much be... It's a pleasure of a car to have to work on and so much more adjustable than the TC3... Every time I need to get to my TC3 diff's I cringe... Takes me under 30 seconds to have my diffs out of my Yok...

SO guys you mean that TC4 is not yet ready for release?. Then the yok is were the ae will get its prototype design?...

OK how can the Yok be a prototype when they copied the TC3 in the first place. You know what they say "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery." or something like that.
