Excellent, BMW M3 GT2 shells do look the shizzle and may withstand abuse better compared to the 911 with its shape.
Nuts (wheel only), springs, and shims - yes, but replacing the entire screw kit seems a little naughty really to me based on the spirit of the rules last year. Along with aluminium servo horns, ball studs, ball cups and bearings. If someone has the money all those things may seem minor but they add up to an advantage non the less.
If we run the cars as close to stock as possible which I'm sure most teams did last year, we will have better racing and people won't have to shell out more money to stay on level terms. Like I said, we need some written rules. They don't need to be long, just to the point, non contestable and agreed by the majority of the teams. I wouldn't mind getting involved in that, maybe writing something up and posting it on here for everyone to comment on/add to if it helps John and the Ardent lads out? It must be a nightmare organising something like this so if I can help, I don't mind chipping in. On that note I have some new HPI wheels and Sorex 32's that I got for testing (assuming we were using Sorex's again). Is it worth us trying some thicker inserts (which everyone decides on) in those and doing some long runs for feedback? I will only use them if we are reasonably sure on the tyre though. The tyres weren't cheap and I can use them elsewhere if there are plans to use another tyre.
Cheers
