Carbon fibre tub YZ-10 project

No, it's still unfinished. I bought a carbon Fibre top deck for the car from Fibre-lyte, but the weave direction didn't match the chassis and it deserved better. Haven't got round to ordering another one yet..... One day, I promise!

Did you figure out the Manufacturer of the Aluminum bulkheads. Look like Dialed Racing Products to me. Very expensive if I remember

No, I'm still clueless on the alloy gearboxes. People on here had ideas, I just know they came from Japan with some other spares..

Going to need some help with this one; looking at the chassis I'm guessing it's been designed for a Works '93 as it has the slots for adjusting the belt tension? If so, I have NIP drivetrain parts (going to fit a fine pitch belt conversion kit as I've heard the fine pitch belt is no good for runners), suspension arms, hubs, driveshafts etc, but don't know what top deck and shock towers to fit. I've never seen Yokomo carbon fibre ones for the '93, but would like to fit C/F parts to match the chassis.

At the moment I've got as far as fitting aluminium gearbox housing front & rear, black YR4 bulkhead caps, and a very used motor mount which I'd like to replace with a better one if anyone's got something.

I would love to see this one finished

Or maybe you should sell it to me

That is a very serious looking piece of kit. Very beautiful chassis. I would not fancy running it though! I'd be too scared of scratching it up.

I agree......those aluminum bulkheads are amazing!

It belongs in a museum

Shameless display of alloy and carbon fibre......i love it!

Or maybe Dialed Racing.
