PuRaPaKe DP-R

Yes, More projects... PuRaSuTeKu DoRiPaKe RWD

I had the RF concept M-Chassis with CS 3.4 but wasn't used much. So it's time to go back to full size. 

So I pulled together a lot of parts I had lying around and put in a  couple of extras. ie Long Wipers and MST Front Y arms and Hubs.  Love the low look of the drift package.

Just enough blue to be cool.

First bolt together looks promising. Still to adjust ackerman and full lock.

While I wait for the DRB-REW to be completed. I'm back to Full Drift Package Lineup. That's come full circle.

MST Deeps

Running addiction aero brings it's own challenges when it comes to Rim selection... Here is a pretty easy modification to MST Mesh Rims for great stance.

The MST Mesh rims come with 4 depths. 3.5.7.9.mm but there's another 5 on offer.

 I added a small notch right on the rim limit. this allows at least the slightest of bite for the location tabs.

I added 3 of these on the rims I am using for the rear.

Some Super Strong CA glue and your done. But you'd better get it right, because you only get one chance.

So I now have 2x +9 Offset and 2x +14 Offset.There is a slight drawback that the ridges are slightly visible from the inside... not a big issue on black, but other colours may show.

Perfect for the Addiction 86 and my RWB porsche.

MST Meshies

Let's take a look at the MST selectable offset mesh wheel.

I will call this MST wheel "Selectable" rather than Adjustable.The reason being, once your selection is made, There cannot be any further adjustment.

You select by lining up the tabs on the spoke section with the slots on the rim section. which is numbered 3,5,7,9

These must then be glued into place. So choose very very carefully. And line them up carefully too.

The back of the wheel hex is also quite shallow so there is really only room for a 1mm spacer of you get it wrong or err on the conservative side..  Note i haven't pushed the rim in all the way.

Potentially you can create 15mm offset by glueing the rim on the unslotted section, but without the slots, it would probably spin off. 

Thats a pity, because my 220 mm porsche would love that. 

It needs massive rear dish. 

The same on the rear of the 215mm 86.

Deep! haha.

But I guess you have to settle for a larger wheel hub HEX and the 9mm deepest setting 

Up front, 5mm suits this chassis, but my other chassis needs 9mm all round.

Mesh would be great for those Group 5 cars or Croup C cars of the Eighties.

So the Mesh wheels look great in Black and hyper black. if you select the right car. 

Chrome rim and gold center would replicate BBS style rims pretty well. 

Pretty cool
