In DSP we can only use the OE diff ratios. I plan to start off staying with the 4.44 ratio. May swap to the 4.77 ratio if I'm not hitting the 2nd gear rev limiter much. The S2 diff was available, but since I have the OS Giken lsd it seemed to make more sense for me to buy the R&P than a whole diff.
We can't even remove the plastic shroud on the crash bar, let alone the bar itself. It can't even be removed in SM, only in Prepared or Modified. It may seem odd ghat you can use a $4000 clutch/flywheel setup and nkt do that. The rules are the rules.

The DSP build has begun! New aero from JoeFis Racing has been installed as well as a Sparco 383 wheel. The wheel is 330mm and feels amazing!
The install of the wing was a breeze and I can take the thing on and off in less than two minutes, with no tools at all. If you're interested in going the same route with Aero check out www.joefisracing.com!
The car was already paxing ahead of two time National Champ Jadrice Toussiant in his ESP Boss Mustang at last week's event, with just some 275 BFG's on and the steering wheel.

EDIT: Keep in mind, that was sarcasm. You know I <3 you Mike.

Haha, nice! I was like... where is the picture? Oh.. Cliff hanger.
I've had both and I liked the BHR one better personally. Saves almost an extra pound too, so why not? What clutch are you thinking? When this ACT one goes, I'm probably just going to get it again because it felt great.

btw, a builder who recently balanced a Renesis rotating assy with Stage 1HD Exedy clutch and ACT Pro-lite FW using the supposedly-superior ACT counterweight told me it required more modification and addition of heavy metal to get balanced than the OE auto cw usually does, so much for added value ...

Might have to check this since it likely might mean drilling holes for the side skirts that otherwise were not provided from the factory on an S1 chassis. You can't make modificatons for fitment and there may even be a question about having to run a full R3 conversion except the allowed modifications per the update /backdate wording. It 's not loose and free as some people look at it sometimes.
