I'm still looking for +2mm offset wheels. I'll probably have to get them from Japan. Next step is to find out who provides the kit tires.

They provide more grip at the rear of the car, I find and they also wear well. I switched between Ellegi, New Arrows and Enneti during my last test and certainly Enneti tyres provided the best balance.
I'm quite happy using +0 Offset wheels with the 3Racing wheel hexes. Ordering tyres from Japan sounds expensive.
Cheers, Mark.

It's not too expensive and neither is shipping. My RRR parts were about 50% cheaper than that of my LHS.

Had my first race of the year last weekend. It was both good and bad. I need to learn to setup my RRR a little better, but this is just a matter of learning.
Saturday was wet and in qualifying I spun out into the grass when my car went into snap-oversteer as I lifted off the throttle - this left me in P4, but without the mistake I would have been P2 three seconds down on Il Diablo (Christoph Pietsch).
Sunday was dry and without any free practice it was into the second qualifying session (two runs). The track was still a bit damp in the first session, so no times would count to the final order. In the second, the track was dry and seemed to have good traction. I had to go with a hit-and-hope setup. Right at the start of the my run, I spun out again at exactly the same point on the circuit for exactly the same reason as on Saturday - snap-oversteer
After that I drove as hard and fast as I could and was able to qualify in P7, it would have been P4 without the spin - but that's racing.
In the races here, the fastest four from qualifying go directly into the main final. Being P7, I had to start in the A Semi-Final from P2. The car was a little difficult to drive at first with the large tyres, but after 5 minutes, I was flying.
At 9 mins 30 my engine cut out - somehow I had run out of fuel!!!
My pit guy grabbed my stranded car and got it back to the pits, but upon restarting the car, the first gear spur stripped 
It just wasn't my day!!!
I was dissapointed not to have got into the main final, but the car had shown its speed - I was much closer to where the action was as I was last year. I love this car
This weekend, I'm testing a couple of setup changes, to see if I can eliminate the snap-oversteer off-throttle.

You can also try another .5mm-1mm shims under the front upper arms. Just some suggestions.

air filter treatment:
i just wash the filter out with normal unleaded petrol and then spray it with denatured alcohol and then gently blow it dry with an air compressor but i leave it for a day before i use it again. After a few cleans i throw it out and if the base comes loose i re-glue it.

For those of you with the VZW207-02 (shock stay holder), have you adjusted the link position at all? What type of results have you gotten from changing the position?
Thanks!
Thanks!

jeffreylin- Take some more pictures of your car for us on the internet. Some nice full car shots!
Jeffrey taught me something interesting about the car a while back. When you feel that the car is not as free as before the first thing to look at are the bearings in the hub especially the outside 6x12. Fresh bearings make a huge difference in the freeness of the drivetrain.
