Awesome that James. Just watched all of the clips! Wheel spinning on the rolling road so they couldnt get the power figure lol!

Looks great does that mate

Looks mint mate. What car you going for?

James, poop the bed mate I cant believe what I have just read. Keep fighting and make sure you get that new car and bike and take advantage of the quiet roads and cheap petrol! Stay strong buddy x

Update: Bought a new shell so sorted now. Admin delete is necessary

Anyone UK based got a decent FG MT shell for sale?

Yes mate both engine mounts are ally with that engine. I think the small engine mounts are all the same its the large engine mounts that differ so any of those you posted should be ok.

I have a zen 29 4 bolt in my bug and it works fine. It is race ported by Steve Backland ex British Champion and goes like a bat out of hell! The Zen 32's don't fit due to a larger casing but I am sure they can be made to fit.

Its a CY 27cc with DDM ported head kit. It goes really well. The samba exhaust isnt right for the FG so I put a piece of silicone hose on to lengthen it it get round the roll cage lol!

And I fired it up on the patio. Took a while to get the fuel through but it was ticking over nicely once it was up & running. The Samba pipe is LOUD lol! One of the neighbours over the back was shouting 'shut the fiddlestick up' haha!!

Well it is finally finished! Took long enough lol!! Bought a FG MT shell, K-Power DM4000 54kg steering servo, K-Power DHV300 31kg T/B servo, Futaba 3PV tx, Uber 3 stage air filter and a couple of body posts to finish it off.

I put a few lines of oil on the filter and worked it in with my fingers. Seemed to work ok. Rolled it in a paper towel after to make sure I hadn't over done it.

Its years since I last did 1 and I cant remember lol! Any tips or youtube links be appreciated

Also soldered in the killswitch wiring so just servos, radio gear, air filter and a new battery to add which will be bought on Friday. Maybe give it a run out on Sunday all being well

Done a bit of a mod with the rear suspension and it is loads more responsive........no more saggy arse end lol! You can see the difference from the OEM shock position to the new more upright position. I reckon the handling is going to be much improved.

Its all about the noise, smell and mechanical sense of occasion. Electric may be faster, cleaner, etc but there is nothing like seeing a large scale petrol car giving it the beans.

Not sure what to say on that. Have you counted the teeth to make sure they are what they say they are? Pics may help

I wouldnt have a clue mate lol! The 2000wt is a fairly lightweight oil but not sure what units the TA oil is measured in

FG 2000wt all round mate

The problem is partly to do with the angle of the shocks. If you take a look compared to the front socks they are much more upright which is better for off road set up. I am going to make some brackets for mine to fix to the rear shock tower and give the more upright mounting position.
