subaru wrx runner

Hi this is my first post here so don't be too rude !

It s a tamiya subaru wrx sti and it will follow a weight watchers diet, with the rear seats removed and only one seat for the pilot.
I already made the roll cage and the body just get a light kit and an air diffusor.




For the moment i'm working on the chassi to fit the lowering of the car.



I'll post other pics of the building if you like it.

the most simple way is to "drill" a "higher" mount hole for the shaft so that the shaft will locate "upper", then the ride height will be lowered.

For the lowering joe already answered but if you want to be able to show the under of your kit you'll have to as new tamiya kits are simplified with the metal shafts ! you have to cut out all the suspention elements and glue them back in the right position, and build many new parts such as transmition shaft or the rods. Good luck !
I'll post a pic of the rear susp. when i'll complete it.

Re: subaru wrx runner

here's the latest pic of the rear susp. I added the 2 transmission shafts and the new arms. There's still a lot of work !

Re: subaru wrx runner

here i am with more work done. I almost finished the inside, just need to put bare-metal on the roll-cage and to make the harness and turbo-timer.


A pic of the new steering wheel borrowed to a jgtc r-33. sorry for the poor quality.



wires and electronic boxes added and painted.



on the pic you don't see but the old rear seats place is covered with CF-decal. There's also the fixation for the lauthing gas bottle...

Re: subaru wrx runner

A little update of the project.
The interior is almost finished i'm playing with the harness for now and i have to paint the autometer tacho and it will be completed.

I also started the body paint. It's testor's candy red + a touch of tamiya X-32 gold titanium. It's not as dark as i wished but in real it's darker than than.

Any comments or suggestion are welcome. By the way for the seat i hesitate between black and red.
