My 2000 civic

This is still a work in progress. I still have to mount it, but the major work is done. This is from the hotwheels tuners cars.

EDIT: I don't know what's up with the size of the pic I tried editing the post but it's still huge.

A view from the front.

I also have new rims.

The hotwheel import tunerz are absolutely the sweetest I've seen. They come with great hubcaps, mufflers and spoilers too. How does your Zip handle with the added weight?

Sessiz, you own almost every hotwheel I do.

I'd love to see the Escalade on a Zip.

I would have loved an escalade too but I don't think it'll fit. I was surprised the zip even moved and actually moved pretty good with the turbo in a stock chassis. I still haven't mounted the body so I didn't go far but I don't think the body will effect a dual cell zip at all with a turbo. I still can't wait to do the front rims, but I think I'm done for tonight. I'm gonna have to shave the chassis a bit in the back in order to get the modded gear on.

Keep us posted. You're gonna have a sweet ride.

I have yet to get a Zip Zap, or Import Tuner and I just want to know if Import Tuners are ever going to be sold in Canada? I can get a Zip Zap, but it means that I have to go to the U.S, and in awhile, I will. But keep up the progress on the body sessiz.

Well I mounted the body by using some tissue and electrical tape. I wrapped the tissue (very small folded pieces) with tape and then affixed them to the car's inner side panels. I have a very snug fit and am still able to remove the body easily. I am going to need atleast a dual cell for this body and the r-spec if it truly has the tourque it is reported to have. The body is obviously far to heavy for my zip char-g with a 2.6. Worst case scenerio this will be my show car.
I decided to hold off on the wheels only because I don't have any spare zip knuckles to play with. Anyone know if bit or clone knuckles will work on a zip chassis?

Can you get the Hotwheels tuners cars at walmart? I'd love to get my hands on one. Your car looks great!

That's exactly where I got them along with a motorworks clone.

The rims are from the Hot Wheels Cars? And the tires? Look just the right width for my 1989 Porsche 930 Turbo Project car.

Just noticed that in your sig...you're not running it off a stock ZZ controller, are you? Just the clone controller, right?

PLEASE tell me your using the stock controller.

NO, unfortunatly I have to use the clone controller. But soon i will have a 27mhz zip char-g with a dual cell and the stock controller. I can't wait to see their faces when my stock looking zip screams on past their MSs. (they being my neighbors) I own them on the track with my 40mhz and the 2.6.

Before you do anything line up the cars, wheel to wheel, and see if it'll fit (width and wheel base). Then what you have to do is tear the chassis off of the tunerz car. Then comes the dremel and a whole lot of cutting. I don't have the supra so I don't know exactly what needs to be done. The rims and tires. You will need an extra axle and front knuckles. You'll also need to do some shaving of the chassis in a couple of spaces so I really wouldn't recomend the wheels unless you have an extra zip.
