Looks great Jase. That motor and electrics look tops in there. Are you going to run it?

aint that the truth!

looks good jason, ya found some pink rims after all that was quick

jason would drive masami's 870c from the 89 world's at race pace, oops i snapped the chassis

Rear rims are 2.2" though. I even have 2.1" but Im after the original 870c 2.0" jobbies. Hyeong has a pair of used ones for me though so that good news.

Yes I want to run an 834 and this car will have to do me I think. Need a composite chassis though so I can run sub-C Sanyo saddles

Are those damper mounts made by Delta??? VERY nice!!!!!!!

Those are made by Pargu

The progress continues on this car. The lexan turned up from MR LEXAN, the rear pink 2.0" rims from HYEONG and the final gear and pivot pin from AL. Now the shell has been trimmed and Im happy with how its shaping up.

Not much longer now and it'll have paint, the rear wing mounted and be driving!

Thanks again guys for all your help. This is a great place where great people dont mind lending a helping hand. Cheers!

Thank you Hyeong. Im looking forward to finishing this little beauty!

Jason, what's the little aluminum post just aft of the belt guide? An antenna mount? Is it directly under the "bubble"..... my first thought about your question/PM was an antenna hole, just don't know why they wanted it that big.

Think I might have answered my own question. Below is a pic of one of Tak's. hard to tell, but it looks like it's in the same location or close to it.

Hello Jay,
I have spoken with a friend of mine and he says that's what it's for. Quite sad really cause there's no way Im running an aerial up through the top of the roof. Its quite a blemish, an original blemish none the less though.
Thank you for looking in to that for me.
