how do you lower the wrx from tamiya? I must know! And also I have styrene to cut to make a cover to make it look like a 2 seater. Anyone have tips on how to do both of these, i appreciate it!

Cut parts of chassis as shown in pictures 1 and 2. This will allow the steel bar to be raised higher into the car . You don’t need to do this to the front as it can be highered without modification. After this is done then take off the brake discs (if already glued on) .You will see that there is a circle with a notch in it this needs to be sanded completely flat . Then re apply the brake discs but about a third of the way up the disc mount area from where originally was.
