show me your x6 / x5's

[grelland]

Hi there,

I am in the process of preparing for the 2010 season, and have started collecting parts and updating my X6.

The car is originally an X6 that I bought last summer just before the squared came out, but since then I have upgraded all parts so that is is now a squared.

I have so far istalled a few extra bits and pieces, including:
-J-concepts ball ends
-Racers edge alu rear hubs
-MIP drive shafts with captured pins
-Titanium balls
-Rudebits weights in rear corners
-ghea front brass bulkhead

Here are a couple of shots of the car as of tonight, the electronics still need to be installed:



I am still unsure of the body, as I currently donth think there is a good looking body available for the x6, and I dont know if I like the door-wedge- or toad look the most..

Here is a shot of a phat-bodies zen body, in a 10-min paintjob:

I have another shell on the shelf, so I might spend a little more time painting one if I end up using this style.

As you may see, I have lowered the wing mount so that the upper mount is bolted through the lower hole, then I made a new countersunk hole lower down. I dont like the humongous wing that is mounted so high, so I cut it a bit, and mounted it some 2 cm further forward. I dont know how that will affect the handling, though, but it is an easy fix to go back to the original style.

Things that remains to be done includes:
-rebuild diff with the bfast kit that is on its way
-replace spurs with machined ones
-paint the body of choise (or probably have a pro paint it for me...)
-practice...
