870c to 91 works build

[jbmeyer13]

Well I got the diffs built and installed, belts installed and caps. Then installed the shock towers.

The finish on modern CF just blows away how it was done BITD. That fiberlyte chassis looks like it belongs inside a Mclaren. I spent a LOT of time getting the '91 Stealth finish as close to the original as possible but it would have been nice to have one with that high gloss. Do you have an original Yok body for this or are you using a replica?

It's getting a replica body same as Masami's 89 car.

Mounted the suspension arms. Axle bearings are soaking then I will install axles.

Ok yokomo experts I need some help. So I'm running rear arms on the front and I installed the wide front end kit with longer universals but they are too short. Is there a longer universal or do I need a different steering knuckle? Thanks guys.

Long front arms should need rear universals.

[mikea96]

These universals are the longer ones. They are longer then what the stock ones were.

[jwscab]

Not sure about those arms. The long front setup used rear arms up front. Those look aftermarket. They might use later yz10 universals and later wheels with the greater offset.

[mikea96]

They are aftermarket but the same exact dimensions as the rears.

Thanks for the link.

Got the back setup correctly. Lot of material had to be removed from inside the hub.

[mikea96]

I think I need the zc423 universals for the front. These are the zc422 universals.

[mikea96]

After looking at some other photos I think I just need to flip my wheel adapters around on the front and these universals will work.

[mikea96]

Nevemind the universal is still too short. Has anybody used the yokomo zc405 front long suspension arm kit? What am I missing here?

[mikea96]

After more checking I didn't realize that the stock 870c front arms had two outer holes on the arms. It looks like the wide front suspension kit is for using the outer hole on the stock front arms not for using the rear arms on the front.
