Gone Rallying

Well, I've been gone for a while but with good reason. I have been working on this car for almost a month. I wanted to have a car modeled after my own ride, So I went down to the hobby store and picked up a tamiya 1/24th scale focus wrc model kit. in order to make it fit, I had to chop the body and side windows to fit the wheelbase of my Xmod.
I then adapted the wheels/tires and disc brakes. I used the roll cage, dash and steering wheel to make it more realistic. I wanted to build a full interior, but there wasn't enough clearance. to mount the body, I sacrificed my skyline body for the rear mount, and an extra bumper slot.
I used the closest shade of red I could find to match my SVT Focus. I then adapted the light kit to the body.
It came out pretty nice. Pics kinda suck though (phone cam)

) is the ball bearing kit I picked up at RS. It slowed it down. I need more juice so I'm pretty much looking for any upgrades I can find. Saw something about CF chassis too, but I can't remember where.
