stage4sabb93 build thread
So i got my evo about 3 weeks ago and since then i havent stopped. It came with the RS AWD, stage 2 motor, suspension, light kit, tire upgrade.
first thing i did was drop it. http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0062.jpg Then for the past week i have been getting all my parts in. http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0074.jpg -all GPM parts. all i am missing is the front knuckles, front and rear gears which are all ordered and just waiting for them to come in. the aluminum chassis is ordered as well -lithium ions -v2.2 board -chili motor -power switch bypassed http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0073.jpg aluminum wheels too. i also have a set just like this in red coming in too. http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0072.jpg and this is how it sits right now waiting for the rest of the parts to come in |
its a nice looking car but xmod builds belong in the xmod projects section. pretty good looking though.
|
Nice lancer, I am in the process of fixin' up myn.
I was wondering, if u don't mind me askin' how much it cost to build a all alluminum chassis like that? |

haha im not really sure. i didnt keep track at all. money wasnt an issue so i figured id go all out on this toy. evo: $10 on CL (came with awd, body kit) everything else it came with has been replaced or not used chassis (dont have yet) $15 won on ebay liths: $40 chili motor: $40 aluminum wheels: $15 v2.2 board: $50 steering plate: $7 thats all the stuff i kept prices on. i ordered everything from asiatees pricing was great and i couldnt find any other site that still carried brand new gpm parts |
That's not bad, I got all my xmods from cl, or from fm lol
|
ya i got really lucky to find this xmod pop up on CL. i have 4 gen 1's that i got on CL in NJ for $50. but that was before i got my evo and now im just trying to sell the rest of them off.
There is never any xmods on CL near me. and im trying to decide if i want to try out a mini z or not. |
Mini z's are awsome, other than the fact that they cost so much.
|
any update... good to see people still fixing up their xmods
|
just took these pics. since the last set of pictures i added the aluminum chassis, aluminum front and rear gears, and the red wheels.
http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0092.jpg http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0093.jpg the only platic pieces i have left on it is the the thing right in the front where the turning servo is. does anyone know if they make that in aluminum? i still have the black wheels and i change them up every once and a while. I also have a set of my green wheels when i feel like drifting around. But with this chili motor it seems whenever i try to turn at all the rear end swings around |
nice to see the updates... keep up the work

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0137.jpg http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8/IMAG0138.jpg that's how both my xmods sit right now. the EVO mod list is a couple posts up. I do plan on switching the lithiums that or on the EVO and put them on the R8 and im going to run a new battery set up in the EVO. i plan on running right around 10 volts through it. The R8 i am not going to go crazy with. i just want to a decent motor and thats really about it. its going to stay RWD and ill lower it a bit and thats about it. I also have a 350z gen 1 but i have that up on ebay now so i didnt ven bother putting that on here |
man, you guys make me want to aluminize my xmods...
|
stay tuned for the next couple updates.... The R8 is getting a complete makover including full 100% gpm parts.
