So my NEW parts are a replacement for yours I guess, scr8p....

What's new is the few washers included. That's probably worth more than an old header card. That pack alone would easily fetch 100 bucks. :mrgreen:

Money sent as a gift and I'll cover the 45$ shipping fee + 145$ import taxes to Europe. I never thought I could find these at such a bargain price!

So how exactly is the front sway bar mounted? Never seen that before...

The front sway bar is nothing really special: it uses the grooves in the front arm mounts and then the outer shock holes on the a-arms as a mounting point. No mod needed but you can't use the outer holes any longer.

Just using a ball stud in the hole then? I guess it's got to be over-sized right? (I don't think a 4-40 will thread in)

There a nut behind to secure it in the arm hole.

Yup, just cleaned the body and added 2 preload clips on the rear shocks. I will add the two missing front shock cups and call it a day. Cleaning of the rusty parts could be considered at a later stage to better preserve the car.

Nice, that's obviously the same car? It was probably lend by Masami/Masaaki to a racer in Japan and exposed during a race (Yatabe arena?) or a vintage meeting. The cat with the CAT with the green shell was sold a bit before the RC10 GX I bought.

Holy Moly...

That is a seriously nice car. It truly amazes me what fine details went into Masami's cars. You are quite fortunate to now own one of them yourself. Good for you, man.
