You're such a tease

Very nice build Brian, you beat me to it, mine will have all those parts too (up to the Tekchnokraeft wingy) but I'm still trying to gather the last missing parts. I have a pretty good idea of what it will look like, but I'm still hesitating about which chassis to use. I bought that stock Graphite car thinking I could use the chassis for the MIP build, but the car is too nice and original to take it aprt for parts. Then, I recently scored a very nice FusionSpeed tub that would look awesome with those MIP parts, but I really want to fit the trailing arm set-up and I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to cut the tub. Drilling two holes for the chain tensioner doesn't scare me that much though. I'm trying to figure a system that could allow me to install the trailing arms without cutting the tub, like making a custom supporting plate with slots for example and reinforcing it with L-shaped tabs attached with some strengthful double-sided tape, any suggestions? By the way, how deep are those slots in the tub?

David, The 2 slots for the adapter plate 1.5inches long. I have a pdf of the IRS-10 instructions I'll send or post up Monday (of course the file is at work!). The front of the tub has to be cut as well to make clearance for the steering. If it was a runner, I don't think the double sided tape would work, but for a display piece it'd be fine.

Yep, the instruction sheet would be helpful. I'll also have to drill two new holes for the steering if I remember correctly
