My new micro rs4 pics.

Well, in another thread when I was chatting it up with Alfred, he had mentioned to me about snapping some pics of my build up of the micro I just recently purchased. So tonight i'm posting some pics of what it looked like before I tore it down.

Remember, its nothing special, nothing creative, nothing that is going to make you go... WOW!~ ... just a micro put together by .. well.. me. Parts that I hope to get installed into it were all suggestions made from members of either this site or one18th.com.

I will update this with pics from time to time over the next couple of weeks as I put all that stuff into it. So in case you are really bored you can swing by and look to see what I have added.

BTW - If you are wondering about why I have a very red blanket on my desk, its actually an auto technicians drop sheet for the seat. Its also VERY good to find small parts on.. lol.

I will have to snap another body pic once its complete, because the front end didnt come into focus, only the windshield area (woops).


Enjoy.

Love the black bold look of the paint on the Skyline, simple yet attractive. I see your going to be busy for the next couple of days, your going to enjoy installing all the new stuff, and i was going to ask you how come you didnt get aluminum universals the stockers wont hold up well.

Thanks Homer. As you may remember from the beginning of December when I posted my first message on one18th.com and you gave me some tips on which parts to invest in.... well ... there they are! LOL. Even after me being somewhat hesitant in ordering batt's from CBPs.com originally, I still ended up ordering one of the Elite1500 6-cell packs. Which I know some people that would like a review of it whenever I get it going.

So pretty much you had a big influence on what im going to install into the micro.

Yeah I guess im kinda kickin it old school. Everyone is into the Xray rides.. lol. Just in my area Xray parts are semi hard to come by, unless I order them from across canada or drive over an hour to the closest Xray dealer.... OR .. I drive 20-30 mins and get all the HPI parts I would need.

I should have some time tonight to work on it and snap a pic of the current state as I mentioned the other day. Turned out it was a busy weekend for me, went snowboarding saturday night and sunday went to the Toronto Rock (lacrosse) game.

Hehe yeah, im not one for import bodies, but well compared to that silver lamborghini, I prefered the Skyline. I would love to get a GMC Sonoma body done up or even a silverado/sierra. Then I would paint it in pewter (silver) to match my Sonoma.

Well I have seen HPI Uni's for sale on Ebay, but im holding out for my LHS. My LHS already has a pair on order for me (along with about 7-8 other people). They are badly backordered as most of you know on here, right from the manufacturing level. So when they finally arrive, he is going to send over an email to me. Which at this point, I dont even need them yet. I havent even finished fitting the HS-85 onto the dual link plate.. lol.

Hmmmm I should snap a pic of the current stage

~edit - ill snap the pic tomorrow after work.. im going to bed.. LOL
