This is a Mini-Z body (though I've been having a hard time finding it.. I got this from a friend at school, who got it in Hong Kong).
The body fits the middle wheelbase setting (190mm?), which is how the RSX comes. If you don't have an RSX, it's a good time to get carbon fiber driveshafts from slugbugg - email him at slugbugg@ameritech.net and ask for information. You'll get one driveshaft of each size for $10 shipped.
I constructed the mount out of hot glue and a cd case. It's not the sturdiest, but it holds up unless I hit something pretty hard, in which case one of the pieces comes unglued. The advantage of this is that the clip breaks instead of the body breaking, and a blob of hot glue fixes everything.

The front clip doesn't reach the slot on the body, so I glued a piece of CD case to the underside of the front clip. I traded the RSX clip for a Civic clip, so the Civic looks lowered and the Evo body is at the proper height.
The rear clip is attached to the body underneath the trunk. I'll take a better picture when I get home. I tried attaching it to the roof, but it was flexible as if the body had its own shocks.
