Cough...cough. I should have cleaned off the dust before I took it out of the garage.

I got the basic one for 550HKD. They have a beter version (more hop-up parts) for around 950.
From my understanding, there is this store in wanchai side street, forgot the name, but used to be inside CC Wu building, they have at least one Mini Xpress left. Their stuff is generally fairly cheap.
Guys, shall we have a Mini Xpress session sometime in the near future at PYC?

I need to take a look at the car before I decide if it is worth selling or not. I know where it is but haven't taken it out for quite a while...so I can't remember the condition. All I can remember is that I had to add 2 pieces of fibreglass on the gearbox in order to get the chassis to ride LOW......

Kawahara Manifold
I bought one of these tonite....but I'm not sure my Y3100 was well spent. The manifold is 14mm at the point where it joins the pipe. However, it is only 12mm at the point where it joins the engine. Somehow I think I'd rather run a true .15 manifold with a different exhaust gasket....which was what I used to do????!!!!!!

im sure with proper hopups and setup, the car would be just as good as any other out there, just that everyone moved on to some newer better cars that the xpress cars just kinda died.
anyone here is willing to sell their express japan? haha..ive been looking for that car for a long time...couldnt find one!
