i also got around to making my wheel extensions to fit my 11mm tires (for a mini z) the front wheels are 11 mm and the rear are 15mm and required a set of stock xmod tire to fill in the gap

i also got the front suspension to work in the back, pretty tough cause i had to bend up a tie rod to eliminate wheel movement

another shot of the extensions, i havent yet fused the tires because i wanna nickle plate my rims at school then glue on the tires...

you can also see the hightech tierod (paperclip) which is routed unter the driveshaft bracket (yellow thing with bearing) and can roate freely to alow for full suspension movement

*** also i had to shave the inner area of the wheel to alow it to be placed closer to the body, otherwise they stick out way to much on the bodies (this explains the yellow washer to allow for proper nut to axle touching)

rear sway bar made of 3 peices of clear plastic put together (3x thick) whats cool is that i can adjust the stiffness of the suspension by tighning or loosening the screws...

looks like its gonna be a hot car!

its gonna be hard to get that rear servo set up just right

RacinSkillZ101 11-12-2004 10:56 PM

rear servo? no no no lol i dont want 4 wheel steering, if i did id just link the front and rear tierods together somehow... but anyway i was referring to the paperclip as a tie rod but its just holding the wheels straight, sry for the confusion...

btw i 4got to add b4 that im using a rear biased AWD with plate type differentials and a viscious LSD in the rear...

Very, very nice. Thats going to be awsome! Im going to pickup my 04 Stang today (xmods of course). But I cant decide between the 04 Stang, the 67 Camero, or the Vette. Any suggestions?

RacinSkillZ101 11-13-2004 09:13 AM

ooo i dunno thats tough, what car do u have already? if this is your first xmod then what do you what kinda mods do u wanna do to the body?

all three bodies are tight, but id personaly be leaning towards the 04 stang just cause i like the 1:1 version

coolbig2 11-13-2004 09:23 AM

I had the old yellow skyline but of course is was twitchy and glitchy, may it rest in peices as a donor car.
