Did I spot a TC3 steering rack mod on that Kaizen? I still haven't run mine, it's currently a shelf queen, so I don't know how the TC3 vs TC4 steering racks compare.

Very nice. Only seen few of these fully transformed TC4. I’ve spent way too much recently to really consider bidding.

I am looking for a front and rear sway bar set for my TC4. I've searched online and they seem to be out of stock and discontinued. Anyone have sets they would like to sell or have information on other sets that can be modified to fit?
Please feel free to PM me if for sale. If for modification please post here so that others may see what their options may be.

Also, you can make your own. The TC4 bars might be slightly more challenging but it can be done.

sway bar
fitted my tc4 with tc6.1 away bar kit. I will post pictures tomorow. It works great. I will post the parts list also. Check back tomorow.
Ok so for the parts list:
a tc6.1 sway bar kit asc31628
that comes with everything that will work but the tc4 roll bar pivot cup that will fit in control arm which is part number asc31028.
When you put it in you just need to line it up and file away a tiny bit on the sides of the diff case where the center section hold downs will sit. You will also have to file away a tiny bit of material where the blue center part will sit. Just make sure to not file away to much because it can't be loose or you will defeat the purpose.
It's seriously not hard and if you mess it up the cases are only 5 bucks on the associated website so just go for it. The parts are cheap you can get the tc6 bar kit for only 28$ on their website and everything else is only 7$ including the cases.

I tried to post pictures but I'm not allowed yet cause I'm to new. If you are really interested I took pictures of the whole process. Send me a message and I will send you the pictures. I will post them as soon as I'm aloud to.

Although it will depend on your motor, I would suggest a 60t(48p)spur and 40t pinion for the 17.5t and a 36t pinion for the 13.5t motor.... These are all starting suggestions with 30 degree timing on the motor.... If you remove all your bearing seals, and get your car's weight down to 1380grams , you can gear much higher: 3.19fdr(17.5t) 55t spur/43t pinion ; 3.65fdr(13.5t) 60t spur/41t pinion.....

Quick question have all the parts I need for coversion ;)
It actually all fit if you have the aluminum arm mounts. You cant adjust wheelbase any longer because the TC7 arms are wider. I have about millimeter of play on front so I will shim the front arms back. Currently its about 3 mm longer the my 7.1 but I may mill a millimeter off the arms to move them forward. Waiting on shocks and then testing can begin. I tried to use the TC3 rack but it didnt have enough throw to go full lock. The TC4 is narrower then the TC7 so I will probably add a 1 millimeter to each side to get it closer. The arms are almost the same length. The other issue is axle pins are a little smaller. Probably wont be an issue but if it is, 2 solutions. First one is to sleeve the pin with some brass tube. The other is to mill the outdrives so I can use the AE blades on it. Also could press the pins out drill the axle and press tc4 pins in. The other issue is sway bar end links are different but TC7 ends will work. I have them on order also. This is gonna be my USGT car, my fun class as I call it since I also run 17.5 sedan.
You did an amazing job with your build! Was wondering if you used tc7 inner hinge pins and balls or did you use tc4? Thanks in advance and I have another thing I'm gonna try as well. If you pm me I'll go over it with you. Spoke with Caster about it and he thinks it'll work.....I just have a lot of spare time haha I'm a amateur at best on the track. I just love building cars in general big or small.

I wonder if putting the tub on a sander would ground clearance any good. There's a solid 1/8" that could be tapered..

Does anyone know if the Kaizen kit is still available?
