Please could anyone who knows where I could get a user guide for one of these cars let me know where to find them. I have had the car in my family for 25+years and want to restore it, the tyres and wheels are shot and hunting down spares is a challenge ☺☺☺

Just FYI, the same wheels and tires were used for a variety of models, including some gas-powered ones. Try figuring out which part numbers they were, and search for the part numbers instead of the specific model you're looking for. Often, you can then find cheaper parts from sellers who don't know which models' parts they're selling.
Also search worldwide, using Ebay's advanced search. Parts that are hard to find in the UK or US sometimes show up for really cheap on other Ebay sites.

yup you will discover it will cost you over 500$ for a full restoration depending on damage to the car.
the body sets are rare and they came in 2 parts which was annoying.
the main body set with the lexan and front lights with reflective decal, and body decals.
the accessories pack with has the wing and mirrors and the front body mounts and hardware.
the stuff for sale will usually be the body or the accessories pack, have not seen a decal in a long time.
the entire set of 1:9 Kyosho super scale cars is very collectible and sort after.
there are 300zx bodies from exceed and tamiya,, however these were all 1/10 scale and will not fit well at all on the kyosho 1:9 scale chassis.
there is no reproduction on these bodies at the moment.
as for tires you can get proline road hawgs 1063 front and rears they will fit with foam inserts and grip much better then stock.
some of mine
They look amazing buddy, thank you for sharing , I'm accepting this would be a long term rebuild but as it's always been in my family I'll accept it ☺

Thank you for the advice and support guys, if I can find someone with an instruction guide and parts numbers I can work on better searches. ☺
