Streeter S14 replica

My buddy is building a Jesse Streeter inspired S14 and has done a pretty nice job of it replicating it using a Yokomo body with Topline body kit.

Modifying Cheap Parts

I picked up some Cheap R2 R31 rear hubs for the CE-RX.Im not usually a fan of their stuff as its just copies of companies who put time and money to develop quality parts but got these to modify and didn't really matter if I stuff them up.
So all i wanted to do was add more adjustability to the top mount
so drill
then tap
new thread

then touch the top of the tread with the drill to clean up 
done
The aluminium is so soft on this stuff i'll see how it goes,probably upgrade to something better.
Kinda pointless but I like to play around this stuff sometimes.

D'Magic / R'Wing Sports S13 Kit

Here's some pics of the new D'Magic / R'Wing Sports luxury line boxy kit for S13.
I'm really liking it and makes me want to do another S13 body but i already have enough as it is.





I have D'Magic S13 light buckets in one of my S13's and hopefully get to run one of their kits on something soon.

Went out to our fortnightly warehouse meets bunch of fun as usual although a bit chaotic at times. Car ran fine a few small tweaks to suit the surface that's all it needed. Took a few phone pics if the setup and a few guys took a few pics of me.

Damper Oils

I've always ran Tamiya VG mineral based damper oils i'm not sure if its the oil or not but i've always had issues with leaking even with new seals etc and it always seems to get dirty real quick. So i've decided to change to Yokomo silicone oil its not very costly so ill see if there is a noticeable improvement.

I also picked up a Wrap Up Next protection film to protect the bottom of the Zeon while i ordered the oils.

First run with roll mod

So I put together the roll mod setup tonight and gave it a test run on my small track in my garage.

First thought was not much difference a little more understeer but after a few laps I notice it seemed to pivot around the front wheels a little more. I'll give it a shot at our warehouse meet this weekend to see if I can feel the difference on a more open track where I can get more chassis roll happening.
