Fruitfly01 596 Posted April 23, 2018 Nice thread and great buggy. I'll be building one myself soon, although not from a kit. I'm collecting parts, which a long process. I have chassis coming my way, have most of the plastics, a full body set and the all important TTC, but on the look out for lower arms and various nuts and bolts, among other pieces. I think I have approx 75% of what I need. Enjoy the build. I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a few SA parts left over from when I built mine a while ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poldark 27 Posted April 24, 2018 Yes a CPR and Adspec would be perfect!! That's it for now, will be going alongside its older brother that I built last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks @Tamiyabigstuff The main parts I'm looking for are mostly car specific - Front and rear lower wishbones, rear hubs and rear grey CVA damper plastic. Other things include more generic items like hinge pins and various nuts and bolts which I probably have in my spares boxes, but a few more couldn't hurt, as I know I won't have everything required to bolt things together, at least for the time being.

Of course, with it's FDR, it made my car slower, but I didn't care. I had a slipper clutch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poldark 27 Posted April 24, 2018 @Fruitfly01 I have some spares left from both astute builds so may be able to help out if you need odds and ends, also fitting hi caps to the super so may have a full, unmade, brand new set of grey cva's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
