You should be OK. I look forwad to seeing it completed!TerraKill said:Yippee!!!!i dooo belive i now have everything to finish my car (i think lol, ive order sooooo much, i lost trace of it all)
ahahahaha you think i have enuff liquid mask !!
lmao didnt realise i order tht much
kinda noobed out here, but i didnt know so.....
just emptyed the oil that came in one of the shocks, and refilled with hpi 40wt oil thinking it would be thinker............errrrrr wrong.
with 40wt it feels like theres nothing in them!!! lmao, dang you need somthing three times thicker then 40wt.
need to find out what they come filled with.
ohh well, looks like im running stiff shocks at the front, and soft on the rear, witch suits me anyway

It depends on how the shocks are set up. What size holes in the plungers ect. 40wt might be stiff in one brand of shock, but light, in another.

ya I know 30wt was better in my shocks
b00m b00m!!!!!!!
only front bumper, plug in electrics and paint body left to go!!!!! omg i don't think i can wait another week to start this!! should have the car 100% done tomorrow and the body masked up atleast
the shocks are a close fit and i did have to fit my wishbone spacer on the other side to give me the extra 2mm needed for the shock to clear the dogbone (other then that perfect fit)
im also thinking of fitting the stock shocks without the springs for secondary shock power (but tht could be over kill im unsure yet)

Ive got the body cut, and marked up.
and as i expected, i bodged it up so you don't need to tell me hahahaha!! im aboslutly rubbish at cutting bodys out, even with the right tools lol. lets hope my paint turns out better
ive had to make the wheel arches massive as im running baja Rears all round and extended hubs. ok i didnt mean to make the rear wheel archs that big, but they just kept getting bigger and bigger when trying to make them look even RoFlMao!
and yes the body looks lopp sided atmo, as the rear body post isnt secured properly ^.^
(ok the supercharger head isnt poking out that shell like i wanted, but i only need to get a velocity stack and it should, it is toutching the shell mounted as it is)
Well atleast i now have the option to run the stock MT tyres on this shell now ahahahhaaaaaaaa, ive gotta laff about it as i feel ive ruined alot of money messing this shell up (shouollda paid some1)
