Carbon top deck and towers, the ball-raced nylon C-Hubs and some nylon wishbones I got from a team driver. Ballraced steering nylon arms and the ballraced steering link to (think it just had metal bushes in the kit one). Used to also run the Parma TomCAt (was it TomCat or TopCat??) body shell as it was lower and sleaker than standard plus one of those moulded mings too with the wing mount run in the lower hole to bring the centre of G down.
I also had a second ZXR which I had setup for touring. Custom towers with Schumacher micro red shocks. Chassis drilled and milled to lighten it along with a drilled out gearbox and motor mount too.
Used to love that car, sold it all when i gave up racing at 18. I put the off-road ZXR up for sale when i decided to let it go and it went within 5 minutes ! Shows what a car this was.
Good to see some nice one's on here still.
