What do you think about 3d racing hopup parts for R40?

In france, they have bad reputation.

Guys I am having slight problem finding a 2004 spec R40. If I buy the japan version that includes one way and aluminum shocks how much would it cost me to convert the rest to 2004 spec? Roughly speaking?? Thanks in advance

I just picked up a US version new in box for 225.00 shipped on ebay. Could not resist the price and didn't even think twice about it. I think I will obtain all the 2004 spec upgrades before I build it. Guess I need to start a list

There is actually a conversion kit available for around $135 which has all the upgrades included in it. Does not have the TI screwset.

Check the usual HK and Japanese shops. I emailed Jet Hobby about it around 2 months ago and they had some in stock then.

Fastharry and AMG listed the option parts that are included in the 2004 spec....the different between 2 cars is 1 is stock, the other is optioned....

Weight is probably about 100g +/-....

I put an OS 10C slide carb on it and a Golden Horizons Turbo Head. I also sent you a PM detailing this and asking you for the delta address, again. I can not find it.
