WR(X)MOD......get it.....

if you'd like... i'll send you one of my old RSX driveshafts... i don't need it... if you're interested, email me at pinoy715@aol.com

well hmm where to start....The body mounted onto the civic front mount without any modifications. The slit is a little larger on the mini-z bodies, but it still fits pretty well. Oh also since i'm dumb i missed the pre-made holes for the rear lights. There are dual lights in each headlight. The xmod led kits are the right size. I'll definitely hook all those puppies up.

There really isn't much to do as far as me explaining how to do this. I just took a screwdriver and popped off the white mini-z mounts, and then i used a dremel to grind away all the support pieces for those mounts. Simply lined up some pieces of velcro on the body to the xmod battery clips, stuck them on and then carefully work the body onto the car. Depending on the xmod chassis you have. You will need to shorten the wheelbase unless you have the rsx. Just out of curiosity, I will fit the body onto my dad's rsx to see if the front body mount would work.

I actually live in Monticello, but I'm in champaign all the time so be on the lookout i guess. The UK registration plate is just for looks. Most of the aftermarket parts i have put on the car are made by the British company Prodrive so I guess that's where the idea came from. (Though recently i've just put my IL plate back on so i don't get any further harassment from local cops)

shot you an email pinoy

whew!......think that's everything.

for those that want a cheaper kyosho wrx, they do make a "white" body (unpainted). i think the mini-zracer shop has them as well as many other white body autoscales. look here

i have the wrx and it's a nice body

arch2b, did you paint that yourself or is that a pic you grabbed somewhere?

[arch2b]

that is how the body comes....i grabed it from kyosho's line up

Hey Focused, i see that you are a 240 fan as well. I own a pearl white s14 kouki.

[TypeZer0]

oh...you said unpainted white body which i've seen on tower hobbies then you posted a pic and i thought you painted that yourself then later i saw the same pic at mini-zracer.com. hehe, just a little misunderstanding =)

man that is pimp i like it a lot.

Is the civic the same wheelbase as the supra?

[pigeonfarmboy]

i think so, but search around in like a faq or something to make sure

I checked my car this morning and compared it to your pic.
the supra is longer so will i have to get a new driveshaft if I wanto shorten it?

[pigeonfarmboy]

yes you will, and actually the stock civic chassis length is the same as your supra. That pic is after I changed it to fit the suby.
i suggest you contact slugbugg (mlcollins@ameritech.net) and ask him if he has anymore carbon fiber drive shaft kits available. They are simply awesome. $10 for a set of all three lengths.

Where's the pics of the completed project? You should have this finished by now...

[pigeonfarmboy]

shhh.....painting is not going well with the skyline. it's about done and then i'll move on to this. i did however get the square inch ups 10 spokes in gunmetal.....so i'll at least put those on for the final pics. they look extremely good to imitate my P1s!!!

[pigeonfarmboy]

well i've gotten all the paint and decals off of the mini-z body using Nail Polish Remover (Non-acetone Meijer brand) applied with q-tips. (very time consuming but i was worried about weakening the plastic using other methods) So it's all ready for paint whenever i get around to that.
