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

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.

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.

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