Well, I recently purchased a Yokomo GT-4 with the RX7 body, but honestly, I don't want it, nor do I want the GT2 Porsche body. I'd like something more around the Skyline or the M3 body that HPI offers. I already put about $300 down into some hop-ups for this thing, including trashing the crappy plastic exhaust pipe with an aluminum 7mm tuned pipe, front/rear shock braces, rear shock tower, coilovers (low friction alum shocks) for all corners with new springs (stiff in front, soft in back), shoe-style 2sp tranny setup, and last but not least, a replacement blue anondized aluminum chassis.

With all this, it needs a new body. If this isn't possible, I'll be getting this dam body custom painted, cause the red just doesn't appeal to me at all. In the future, I do plan on putting a Novarossi in, but that's when I feel this doesn't have enough power. Opening up the exhaust should give me some leeway, and if I break it in right, I should be good to go. It's more of just a parking lot car for me, not going to bother with track yet.

Again, I need a new boddddyyyy! Or if you have anymore suggestions for hop-ups.. I'm all ears.. thanks. :)

Well I did my research like I'm supposed to, and basically, could use any 200mm body with typical body mounts. So I purchased a nice Skyline GTR body and a BMW M3 body, all with new Lexan paint job I'll be doing, will see how it goes. Dam UPS, doesn't ship on weekends. :(
