I do think I've everything I want to put into this build. The body has been purchased today thanks to @Juhunio one of @svenb favourites as i know he loves Japanese cars. 🤣🙈 Will it be a full on fast and furious bewinged orange monster with rear wheels wider then the body? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I am a fan of a huuuuuuuge rear wing. Just remembered, I still need 2x suspension blocks and the swing shafts 🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted April 9, 2023 @Juhunio has done a great job of keeping me supplied with some hard to get parts, including swing shafts and a few bits and bobs. I think once with got the suspension blocks I can begin the build. Good Friday shopping has seen a couple of items inbound from eBay and a trip to the LHS saw a purchase of the 1st can of paint for the body - PS16, the rest I need to get. - PS38 blue coat 1 - PS16 blue coat 2 - Bought - PS12 backing coat - PS5 finishing coat - PS43 for blinkers - PS37 for taillights - semi gloss black detailing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted April 23, 2023 Ebay and a fellow TC member have come to aid and have provided the last 2 missing pieces of the build. When they arrive I can finally make a start on the build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 8, 2023 So over the last couple of bank holiday weekends I found time to make a start on the build when I had amassed all the parts I wanted for it. Here we go. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 9, 2023 Made a start with the upgraded suspension. Love these CVDs Fronts completed 2° uprights for camber. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 10, 2023 Shiny TB Evo 4 uprights 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 13, 2023 That's the rear suspension mounted. Couldn't mount the front at the same time. I ran out of 5mm suspension balls. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 14, 2023 Evil ball diff for the rear with reinforced joints Looking great IMO with the carbon tower and alloy screws And the blue stabiliser bar from @Juhunio 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 15, 2023 Jumped to the steering as I ran out of 5mm suspension mounting balls. Decided to build the front diff case up. Using the Evo 3 one way and TB01 drive cups for it. And the carbon fibre mount plate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've looked again just now and can't find any others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 22, 2023 Eventually the spare 5mm suspension mount balls arrived from eBay. Mounted the front diff with the prop shaft. Titanium coated pinion gear from Yeah Racing I think? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted May 29, 2023 It's at this point I realised I didn't/don't have bearing holders for the front or rear bearings on the propshaft. Fibrelyte upper deck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted June 17, 2023 Time for the shocks. I love these shocks. I've got them on my Ultimate TB01 build and am very happy to see they are standard for this kit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
