It's been a while but I finally got this thing finished to my liking. It's been though so many different setups I could've built about 4 TA04's up out of the parts. (Actually, I think I have! :D)
Long story short:
I bought a TA04-R Tuned kit that the previous owner had added an SSG lower chassis to. Not wanting to leave the spare Lightweight Carbon Reinforced in the box to go to waste I decided to build another TA04 up from as little basic parts and as many upgrades as I could find. Then I decided that I wanted it specifically for drifting. I started the build and it became a regular expense. When I thought it was done I'd find something else to change or add. This went on for the past few years. Ultimately I'd decided on this spec as the final vesion before I stop myself from doing anything more than changing bodyshells (unless I find something that really needs to be on here! lol).
Here's the spec:

Upper Chassis, Damper Stays (Front & Rear), Spur Gear Holder Plate
