iantype-r Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hello everyone, Ive just joined the forum, cant belive the amount of info on here, somthing else for the wife to moan about as im going to have to spend loads of time looking through the forum lol, Anyway Ive just dug my old car out the garage, Ive had it about 10 years, Its got an uprated engine which is an OS CZ thats all I know about it, Ive put different wheels on it, thats about it, Ive been trying to find a shell, Ive measured the wheels and from outside edge to outside edge its 240mm and the toyota shell is 250mm wide, Im after a subaru or evo shell and the only shells I can find are 200mm wide, been to the model shop today and tryed a few but they all look small, The guy said its and odd size really as the 1/10th shells dont fit and the 1/8th and way to big, The wheels are bigger, other than putting smaller wheels on, which I dont think will make alot of difference, I dont know what to do, any ideas please anyone, here is a few pics, cheers ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea118 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 i dont know about the shells or anything but i think you best not use that fuel might be worth taking it for a run first cos no point forking out for a shell if the engines seized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0k0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 The Cen fun factor 1/10th shells might fit as I think they were wider. You can also get a Subaru as that was the standard one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantype-r Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Cheers for the replys guys, the fuels ok, I ran it last week, the fuel is ony a couple of years old, it wont seize the engine as the oil which is in the fuel wont evaporate, but cheers anyway, where would I be able to get a Cen fun factor shell from, the celica whats on it now came with the car as standard thats why its looking a bit worse for wear lol Thanks for the replys cheers ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
