Mr.Kenchan, the air suspension saved me big time driving downtown Toronto. Brutal roads, I would have lost or damaged my Varis kit without it.

This might interest you. I haven't payed attention to Honda for a few years so I'm not up to date with the vehicle line up, but I think this is a Honda Fit parked next to me.

My photo actually make his car look good. The paint is faded and full of swirls, and the rep Volks... Even the owner laughed that there were rep wheels parked next to the real deal.

so i think im going to mod this thing to hell, and have spare parts ready to revert back to factory if i decide to go back to stock down the road. ok, goal is set, now the planning...

this is where will's dad and i separate completely.

Good morning!

I took a nice long drive in the Z yesterday, unfortunately there was quite a bit of traffic for some of it, but I did get a chance to enjoy the car a bit.

Put just over 100 miles on it. I might go again today if I have a chance...

kenchan · 08-22-2015, 08:21 AM

now the planning... how to mod the vintage rc car to make it drive nice.. hummmmm...

i need to fabricate some bits from scratch. good thing is that it's over the gearbox so the extra weight can be used for traction.

Those are very nice.

jpkirk · 08-22-2015, 12:55 PM

Just picked them up. The rears may have one or two autox events left in them but that's about it. I will replace the RE-11's with PSS on these wheels and put Bridgestone RE-71R's on the stock wheels for autox.

Found this thread on the lug nuts so I should be good to go.

Finished modding my vintage RC car .. took a while to fabricate, but now drives very nice.

Roller came in too, so I now have a whole chassis of spare parts.
