Although i`ve been on this forum for a few years, i don`t tend to post much rather using it to see what others are up to and for tips etc. However, i thought this was worth sharing.
A few years ago (around 2013) i had an 04 Comp lwb which i sold to Renbar. Its great to see the progress hes made with that- the car looks stunning.
Ive always wanted an original MCD rally and i managed to pick one of these up in January of last year, but i still wanted to get another FG- ideally one of the older Porsche models or the BMW GTR.
After looking for months searching in the usual places as well as in Europe, I found a lovely barely used car - an old Porsche 964 RSR in the Falke livery. I believe this was a package car sold by FG in the late 90s/early 00s. It even came with an older Zenoah G2D engine and not the more common Solo engine of that era. (this engine was lovely and smooth when i tested it btw)
Having spent a few £££ on alloy bits/radio tray (yet to be fitted) and a newer G230, im finally enjoying it. Im intending to add an LSD as the standard rear diff is comical in its distribution of power. Maybe i`ve been spoilt by the Mcd`s brilliant traction, but it certainly makes it a challenge to drive!
I do have a question for those who are FG experts. Id really like to add the Big power exhaust to this car. I like the way it puts the exhaust out the back rather than down the side. Does anyone know if the exhaust will fit with the roll cage thats on the car? I had a Lauterbacher version and it was positioned too far out to the side and wouldn`t fit with the cage, but i have a feeling the FG one tucks in a little closer to the chassis...
As always, any tips or hints would be appreciated. Like the MCD, this is just a fun car which i use at work when its quiet.
Im hoping to finish adding the Allow rear lower arms and the rear shock tower as well as the Alloy gear carrier. These come up quite often so i don't think i`ll be waiting long.
