My first ever gen1!

[xmodificationer]

yay today i got my Z from 123vette and it is sweet! i need some general and suggestions on how a gen1 works, it took me like 1/2 hour just to put in a s2! also when i put on the bk (the gold sideskirts) in the back where there is the two tab things the smaller one doesnt stay in the hole so i need help and i also want people to tell me about gen1;s cause i got kno clue

[mustanglover]

really nice car man!

yea man i love it, just got to get used to the steering lol, but i am never driving it with the body its my new shelf queen

i also have the full bk but i just kind of mixed and matched the bk

[darkendblade]

sweet fairlady but about the tabs on the bk i always had that problem too so im not to sure how to fix it but after awhile i just glued mine

[xmodificationer]

i would glue it but im going to be changing between the 2 different looks but also on the right side skirt the gascap thing doesnt line up with the one on the body so it looks funky

seeing how its your first gen1, i recommend installing a tight turn mod. it really makes the car that much more fun.
when i bought my first xmod when they first came out, i was about to throw it in the garbage. it took 7 square miles to complete a circle.. lol



well not quite 7, more like 4! :P

[xmodsnut]

well if you weren't going to switch it all the time I would suggest just melting the tabs in place with a hobby knife and lighter. otherwise just live with it.

1. i dont have a steddy hand in soldering and the things are really small
2. i already said i dont want it in permanat but thx

Nice ride!

Definitely get the tight turns kit fitted it makes the gen1's so much better! Word of warning thought, get the inline resistor tight turns kit as opposed to the onboard kit! The onboard kit is like soldering a pin head to a gnats a$$!! Unless your soldering skills rock in which case get the onboard!

Other than that put AWD in it and you should be rocking!

As for the body kit, this is a common problem with a few of the body kits! You have to kind of bend the kit and apply some pressure and it should snap in! The body kits have some play so don't be scared but with a bit of work you should be good!

Enjoy the car!

inline resistor tight turns kit ???

[xmodificationer]

the inline resistors go with the servo the onboard goes on the ep

[mustanglover]

i kno that but there do i get it?

[xmodificationer]

i think from XI

[darkendblade]

hey at am cant you send them your car and they work on it or did they stop doing that because if they still do you should have them puit the tight-t mod on for you i just freid my servo so i need to get me some transisitors to rpair it and get my range back

update: but on some of the other bk pieces



edit: look at my bst thread i need body!!!!!!!!!!

[dontspamme]

Deattach the rear deck, then flip the over. you should see 2 screws that connect the rear end to the chassis. Take the 2 apart and make sure to deattach the motor wire. take out to driveshaft and then you should be able to take out the blevel gear. **** thats one Z you got there btw. How much did you pay for it anyways?

[REDisFASTER]

Stock Z is best!

[xmodificationer]

yea i love it i paid $40 for the Z in MINT CONDITION (drove acouple times), a full bk, blue S2 motor, and the suspenstion upgrade. and i got the bevel in now i figured it out but thx anyways!

[xmodsnut]

does it need bearings? I also have AWDs too if you need one. I agree with RED stock is better. and use the first wing you put on it on the scion.

[xmodificationer]

i dont have any but $6 so i dought thats going to buy me anything, but look in my bst i want a body! http://www.xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9626

also i changed it to stock (i like the stock look alot on the Z)
