Another 94 YZ10 restore.

Post by ralphee »

Picked this up the other week in trade for my rather epic '92 Works. She started out as a bit of a scruff bag/cupboard fodder, but with very minimal use, so the rebuild has been fun, bit of polishing here and there, but all drivetrain parts are superb, not like my last pig i purchased haha.
Its going together quite nicely now, I set out to rebuild it without dipping into all my spares, so thus far I've just added a few screws, new thrust balls, and some NIP Yokomo E clips, I'm even managing to keep pretty much all screws OE this time.
I could have gone all out and shelf queened it with NIP parts, but save for the odd nick here and there on the arms, I'm not even sure ill keep this one, having decided to race my original car.
A new Hansell top deck will be on the way soon, and I've bagged some NIP Ti turnbuckles too, its getting pretty now, more to come soon!

Glad to see you've finally found a '94. I presume this will be a shelfer?

Looking very crisp indeed! Those cars that initially look a little scruffy - but are actually just a bit dirty make for the most satisfying re-builds! :)

Thats it Dan, its so fun just turning it around, rolling of the dust and tarnish, does give me a bit of a buzz, its a very satisfying and rewarding pastime!

I really like the 94. Its got such a plush and long travel suspension. Im wondering if there was an upgrade that put rear camber links into a long plastic piece like on the front. Im sure I saw a Pavidis or similar model with those beefy camber links front and back.
