CSO RX8, MRX5 options & exhaust seals
CSO release new option parts for the Xray RX8, Mugen MRX5 and general use. The front universal swing shafts for the RX8 are machined from high-grade spring steel, hard coated and allow the use of either wheel nuts of quick change systems to secure the tyres. Made for the RX8 and MRX5 are lightweight front oneway steel axles. Again the parts are hard coated to maximise durability. Also new are high temperature silicone engine gaskets for .12 and .21 engines. The durable purple-coloured parts make for a tight fitment of the manifold and pipe to avoid performance losses caused by insufficient sealing.
