Sweet Set-up Rossco!

RX3 is pure sex on wheels.

What's the chassis worth? That looks mint!!

More importantly - a total setup similar? Keen to get into it - Obviously the TT01 is the preferred starter kit.. but always tempted!

MY99GT 05-02-2012 12:27 PM

now i've sold the Foz i'm very tempted invest in 1 of these :)

Rossco, if I wanted to make a replica of my car? Is this possible?

The latest sedan shell I've seen is MY07, you might have to wait a while for a Betty sedan shell to show up.

ImPreSiV 05-02-2012 02:35 PM

wait I will...

I guess I could buy the chasis etc now, and just wait for shell or keep looking yes? they are pretty 'standard' aren't they?

Rossco 05-02-2012 02:51 PM

Yeah for sure....Shells are cheap (ebay spec prepainted are a bargain!).

You'll probably destroy your first shell anyway.
