I haven't opened up the packaging yet.  Hope to do that this wknd.  Looking at Toda's site the metal appears to be different between the two gears.  I also know that the gears are machined to extremely close tolerances (which is I why I also spent the extra $ with Toda).  I'm hoping WPC will only improve and not sacrifice any of the strength Toda has already treated into this part.  Obviously, my lack of knowledge shows here... 




It appears I can fit a 245 in there.  Will I?  I'm not sure.  I have a long way to go with the 235s.  I primarily chose the DF fenders because it just allows for more wheel/tire options at the end of the day.  With a BBK in the front I have to run spacers on some wheels.  I don't have any plans to run anything wider than the 235s but there definitely seems to be a lot more room (If you take out the fender liner and grind down one of the tabs). 


When time permits I promised a friend locally that i'd help him build another valvetronic exhaust system.  I have some ideas on how to make it sound even better while still maintaining free flow and possibly encourage scavenging. 


Some say there are fake Walbros that have caused them to have the bad name.  Well, I bought mine from SOS and it still failed.


As it turns out, Porterfield pulled a fast one on my brother.  I don't believe they took off any material at all when my brother took the pads into the Orange County office to grind down.  I had to use my stationary wheel grinder to shave down the pads the night before track day.  There's nothing like pre-track day prep!  There was dust EVERYWHERE.  Also, the inconsistent grind job I did made for an interesting bed-in process during the first few sessions in the morning.   I was annoyed but didn't want it to ruin my track day.
