• the front belt now runs up the middle of the car which improves the car’s balance as well as smoothness during on-power acceleration.
• Large 22T Centre Pulley,
• the centre pulley has been changed to allow the front and rear belt to run off the same pulley, providing a longer wear for front and rear belts whilst also offering improved acceleration.

• Yokomo have now moved to the bush / insert style suspension blocks, which allows customers easier toe adjustments, the new blocks are also lower which further improves the car centre of gravity.
• New Motor Mount / Flex System,
