Parts to convert xxx4 to xxx-s

[feasty33]

Hi,

As above really. I have a xxx4 which i bought about 6 years ago and have never used.

Shame to waste it, and as there is a club which races touring cars about 200 yards from my house i thought i would convert it.

Off the top of my head i think i will need:

F&R wishbones
Drive shafts
Shorter turnbuckles
F&R shocks and towers
Body shell and mounts, but think i'll worry about these later.
Wheels and tyres i have a source for.

Am i mad for doing this?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

Not questioning you, but why would i need a new chassis, belts, pullies etc??

Maybe the wheelbase on the 'real' xxx-s is different, but the xxx4's is only a few mm longer than most touring cars, so a bodyshell should fit once the width is taken care of.

Understand the hubs if they're smaller than the xxx4's tho.

I did read somewhere that the xxx4 is based on the xxx-s, so i'd have thought that it couldn't be that different?

probably better to sell the xxx4 and then buy a xxx-s, cheaper too.
or see if anyone wants a swap
