Most of you probably already know this but...
I got a note from the XRC distributor from whom I bought the car. He had news about the shocks....... "good news we are getting in a new shock design in a few weeks that holds more oil and has a better build design with better spring and better shafts"
And I just spent $40 on new springs
Who cares...better is better and it shows that XRC is taking us XRC owners seriously.
Cheers!

After what Neil has done to me...I mean for me...I wouldn't go over there to get him. I'm going to send Hilary Clinton and Al Sharpton instead 
and being Aussie that car should be finished tonight

Thanks mate. It's not nearly as nice as Mick's...he's blinged it out even more.
And I meant to mention in my earlier response...BMV4 is a totally sick looking piece of machinery!!!!!!! You really know your stuff, Dave.
I'll add the window venting to my "To Do" list. Things are going to move just a hair slower over the new few days as my wife and I are selling our house. I've got a "honey do" list longer than a donkey's johnson
Cheers mate!

John,
I have only recently found this info out myself, I thought they had already been put into cars, because if you look closely enough at flyingdutchman's pics you will notice it has different shocks mounted on it
.
I believe we will see better quality products from XRC in the very near future as they are being exposed world wide and are receiving feed back other than ours.Time will tell.
John you haven't wasted money on springs cause the new ones will not be as good as the competition ones you have on the way
To bad to hear about the "honey do the donkey's johnson" list

Good to know about the springs, Dave. I expect that when the new shocks are available you will likely try them? Surely they'll be better so it might not be a bad idea to keep the HARM and FG springs I have and put them on the new ones. We'll see how that goes.
I suppose sheep would have been more appropriate than a donkey for this thread, eh mate?
I am going to try not to think about donkeys because it gave me a very startling visual 
Good luck to all you chaps that will be racing this weekend!!
Cheers mates!

haha now i get it lol. Just orderd my ddm air filter. im right in the middle of a bathroom reno unfortunatley aswell (bad timing). im going to ring my local 3d paintstore to see if they have the polycarbon paint or not. wouldnt surprise me if they did for half the price. i figure monday i will hook right into it sourcing my materials for the mods. sunday im racing 1/10's. i will put up some pics as im going. also im sure your going to cop some silly questions off me aswell but i think most of it is covered here.

No not this time, once I have this car going then I'll head north to see what all the hype is about. BUt for the moment all I need is to get the car controlable and making it stop. Then if I race probably stick to the back of the pack, don't think I'm any better than that. Once I get the car out the the car I'll take some pics of the mods to it ( all in the rules ) and see what you think.

Neil mate, I thought all Aussies were the same. I mean...Nicole Kidman and Elle McPherson...who can tell the difference (and would anyone really care as long as they were with either). Yanks don't want to take over the world, we just want to destroy it so nobody else will want it 
...unless there are pretty sheep hanging around and then we'll woo them with our long aerials 
I'll save for next year...too many low altitude adjustments and I may not be able to drive though Especially since I'd have to buy you one for every one you bought me
Cheers mate!
