Hi Lads,

I recently created this car on a YZ10 94 platform, it's a carbon 94 (soon to have TCS) painted by SrD - the red/orange wing is temporary. I have the 'proper' wheels and wing en route courtesy of Asa and Cedric :)

So after speaking to my mate DerbyDan and various facebook messages with Naushad, Cedric, Asa and Hugh I started going through my parts bin last night to see just what I had in there:

and a rear lower bulkhead that would need modifying:

My goal isn't to have a pure wcs93 but rather a car that I can run that looks like one - once I cut the wheel dots and get the wheels/wing fitted it'll look pretty damn cool if I do say so myself but the rear end will bug me.

I'm probably ordering a wcs93 GRP rear tower (front is pretty much the same as the 94), camber link plate and top deck from FibreLyte - I think I pretty much have the other stuff I need from my YZ10 and 870c boxes? I'm probably going to use a FibreLyte chassis too but can't decide whether to get the Masami version or not that Dan made possible for us.

Last night I fitted the proper AE teflon shocks too - more pics soon.

All advice welcomed.

Cheers,

Dan

Just being damn lazy Justin :)

If anyone is wondering why I cut this down - on the wcs93, the shock tower mounts to the upright sections of the pivot blocks - you can get an idea of this from DerbyDan's pic of his gorgeous (and real with race history) wcs:
