Smile my mini and my mods to it
the first thing I did was I put 40wt oil in all for corners, then I added 1.5 oz to each wheel. Then I bent the lower rear links and had to add longer rod ends that were to long so I cut about 3/16 off of them, And had to add a spacer to the upper rear link to get the pinion angle I wanted. Then I lowered the body to cover the lower link bolts. It works allot better. I have pics but don't know how to post them. SORRY..

a link to my photos. http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/q...nSchoenfelder/

I added some pics and 2 slideshows hope you enjoy.

No probs Jason, glad to help......but you don't need to be a paid up member to post pics

Under each pic in you Photobucket you have 4 ways of linking your pic:-


Email & IM

Direct Link

HTML Code

IMG Code

Next to last option "IMG Code" you have another box with the link code in it ("IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1902.jpg[/IMG").....just left click on that code and it auto copies for you. Just go to your post and paste in.

so my last post looks like :-



"Here ya go fella....

*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1910.jpg[/IMG]
*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1911.jpg[/IMG]
*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1912.jpg[/IMG]
*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1913.jpg[/IMG]
*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1914.jpg[/IMG]
*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1915.jpg[/IMG]
*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1917.jpg[/IMG]
*IMG]http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq239/JasonSchoenfelder/IMG_1909.jpg[/IMG]

Hope they where the right ones...great rig!! "

* I had to delete the "[" character from the begining of each line otherwise it will show the pics again!


I hope this make sense!!!
