Hi everyone,
a few years ago I bought a bashed up FF01 PIAA Accord because I wanted to later teach my son the differences between different chassis concepts (FF, FR, RR....) and because i drooled over the FF01 cars in the ads as a kid. Still remember a Williams Clio that I found cool.
Well , my son was 1 at the time so I had to wait a few years ^^
This year, finally, I got it out of its box and immediately discarded the body as it was beyond saving. I got a replacement EG Civic body off a TT02D and decided to make this a JDM Touge kind of car.
The chassis itself was in ok-good condition. Already eqiipped with ball diff and shocks as well as partial ball bearings, it received a clean, completed set of bearings, new speed controller with a Sport Tuned motor. Still have to perform a rebuild of the shocks.
As for the body, it received a Spoon Sports inspired paint job:
The wheels were pretty bad, but have been refurbed by now. The chassis received CC01 CVDs and a steering upgrade.
And made an appropriate exhaust
Out on the track
As you can see, the rear wheel position is not great, as the wheelbase is a few mm off. A friend printed a set of new suspension arms but i couldnt fit them yet.
Also, i might have blown the diff on the last outing, so a complete rebuild might be in order.
That's it for now.
Chris
