Well, I just moved to North Carolina and right now living in a rental house. But my REAL house is just about dont getting built. :D I already have planned to have a much better Work station/pit. Ill upload when my phone gets a signal to facebook so i can redownload a picture of my old table. I took ...

No problem! Love to help. plus, i know my car is one that is a bit harder to find. Also, the front tower is the original tower. im going to be switching it out for a later one. plus the rear tower when i get a chance.

this is what the car looks like right now!

Glad to hear this is helpful to you. Ill update in a bit.

Yeah, only running a 17.5 and no boost. There is Custom chassis protector to protect it. and The originally came with the wiper arms that are identical to eachother. And still has the single mounting hole rear tower. im definately going to have fun. Running this car will alow me to also refresh my B5M

thanks! ill try to get pics up today. sadly the pic os too big, But the car is finally complete 100%! Just did the front B4 wheel conversion. JUst have to test fit wheels, not that i dont think it wouldn't work, but id just like to know they fit perfectly. Also just got a second transmission. JUuust...

Yay! I have those!! hahah. Well, now today will be the day this car gets 100% done!! Woo hoo!. (where do i post when its done anyway. )

A 17.5T motor should be perfectly safe for vintage cars; plus, you can adjust punch (how strong it accelerates) with modern ESC's. The answer to when to use flanged bearings is quite simple. You would use flanged bearings anywhere where there's nothing on the inside of the part you're putting the be...

For the front wheel conversion, do i use the normal Flanged bearings that the original front wheels use? or the slightly larger ones? and do i use the flanged bearings at all?

whaaat??? thats crazy. never would have thought of that... thanks Scr8p!

id just figure that it would be best of people saw updates on the build so people can help with advice or if they see something that doesnt look quite right. I'd like all the help from experienced people i can get.
