dumb idea, but remove the springs, possibly put spacers under the spindles (this will raise them).

does kyosho make a 240sx?

Haha, bad idea, as of now I only have 1mm suspension travel. If I take out the springs, then the tires will be rubbing against the fenders.

Kyosho didn't make a Mini-Z 240sx body, but Kyosho R246 did made a 240z body.

Haha, I wouldn't bother with the zip ties for now, because I still have to modify the front bumper, but after front bumper is finished and "if" i get hit and break it again, then I will add the stitches on it.


Update: Fixed the front bumper.

[QUOTE=Dr. Kustom;261311]Thanks for all the comments guys!

@ mini-z drift - Thanks, I lowered the body as low as possible already, can't get it any lower, here's some pics of my lowered R32 compare to my stock R32.



[QUOTE]

if you want to go lower on the front use a s15 silvia front clip thats what i used top get mine low. heres a quick pic of how low you could go without rubbing the tyres i have about 1/2cm from the ground to the bottom of the bumper and still have plenty of suspension travel

[WhiteCharisma]

Wow, i thought that thing was low til xmod noob showed his R32 setup lol!

Nice work on the fenders! So clean, it looks unbelievable, the detail is amazing. Did you use a toothpick for the holes?

Thanks for the info man, but I will use the R32 front clip for now, because I don't have any S15 front clip and I am still working on the front bumper at the moment.

Haha, thanks WC, yea I used toothpick for the holes on the flares.


Update: Getting started to work on the front bumper!

[mini-z drift]

[XMDrifter]

[4G63punk]

I love your projects man. They are just simply awesome! lol Car's lookin good.

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks for the comments guys, and yea I meant to get rid of those small vents.


Update: Started to recover the the damaged front fender flare.


Did some work on the tail lights.


Will be switching the rear narrow tires to wide tires.

Comments are welcome!

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: Got the chassis cleaned up and re-build.



Started to fixing up the upper grill and got some work done on the hood.





Now I have a question for ya. I kinda wanted a D1 look now, like this...

and I was wondering, what do you guys think if I should keep or loose the fender flares?

[4G63punk]

I think you should lose the fender flares. Maybe widen it?

[garder121]

I say keep, its perfect, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

[DRFTKO]

My vote is to keep the fender flares to keep the project unique, unless you want to replicate the pictured car, in which case you should drop the flares.

[4G63punk]

Somehow, I think the flares look awkward. Maybe smooth out the flares with the fender?

[pinsk17]

I say keep the flares.

[BlueDragons]

Agreed - keep the flares!

No. If it aint broke then fix it until it is

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: After reading many comments from many different forums, I deiced to keep the flares for now and see how it looks.

Got some work done on it tonight, side skirts, rear bumpers and lip spoiler.









Comments are welcome!
