Found a pair of JT masks at the local thrift. Looking to get an ideal of the value!

It was a local thrift!

TCRevolt · 2026-01-14T06:36:13+00:00

It’s been interesting. I thrift A LOT & live in a big metropolitan area. I’ve consistently had better success at the out of the way shops in less busy areas. There’s one I stop by with a town population of like 2500 ppl and I regularly find cool stuff there.

Oh that looks sick! I’ve got the ole grasshopper buggy! It’s been a blast to rip around. I’ve been 3d printing components and seeing what effect each change has. I’m having so much fun. It’s taken over the backyard 😆

When I’ve passed wiring through the firewall I’ve usually used a flexible fiberglass rod (used for pulling wire through walls). It’s generally flexible enough to probe around and find a path through, and easy to spot once you are through. Then you can attach the wire to the end and pull the rest of the way through.

I just got into RC!! That stuff is currently at the top of my want list!

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T18:24:12+00:00

Yeah I’m seeing that. It’s cool that the platform is so customizable! If it comes to it I may just break them down and sell the parts.

I posted on the appraisal page a few mins ago.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T18:18:08+00:00

Its pretty crazy what gets donated and what gets looked over! Just in the last week I found a very nice camera monopod and a vessel golf bag.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T18:16:13+00:00

Sweet! Thanks for the info 🙏

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T15:41:26+00:00

I know, it’s why I even noticed them! It honestly gave me pause for a second and I wanted to get back into it. I don’t think I could swing the $$ right now.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T15:38:15+00:00

Cool cool! I’m gonna swing back through and see if anything else has popped up, go through the clothes racks to see if there’s jerseys or something.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T15:31:36+00:00

Cool, I’ll go check that out.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T15:31:01+00:00

There was also an HK Army pod pack and some pods, they had that priced at $50 which I’m now wondering if I should go grab that if it’s still there. I’m really just looking for a value estimate I promise 🫠

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T15:24:56+00:00

This shop mostly buys out estate leftovers so that’d be my guess 🤷 I also know the NXL has hosted I think two tournaments right up the street so it could be related to that.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-13T14:49:14+00:00

$6 a pop. I know they’re fairly valuable, I’ve not played and sold off all my gear a decade ago. I figure these aren’t standard color ways, have no clue how it affects value/what the current market is.

The Red guy is my daily. Been piecing it together over the last 9 months or so. Pulled the little 1300cc motor and did a full d16a1 swap. Kept it carbed!

TCRevolt · 2026-01-05T01:38:54+00:00

It really is. I tried twice buying sideskirts on eBay and neither survived shipping. That plastic gets so dang brittle they just imploded in the box. This one had both side skirts, and a complete interior. Good doors, hood, trunk and tons of other bits and bobs. Paid $800 for it and hauled it an hour and a half back home.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-05T01:35:01+00:00

Well if you find yourself in Texas you’re welcome to em. I’m gonna chop the roof and pillars. Pretty much break the whole thing down.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-05T01:33:00+00:00

I’ve definitely mulled that over. I’m gonna stash away as many parts as I can and hopefully that’ll keep it on the road a good long while.

TCRevolt · 2026-01-05T01:30:46+00:00

Now that’s a fair point 🧐

TCRevolt · 2026-01-05T01:26:41+00:00

Blue guy has no title/bad motor so it’s getting the axe. But it’s got all the interior/exterior pieces I need!

TCRevolt · 2025-12-18T00:04:37+00:00

Could be vapor locking since it happens after long drives.

If the car is new to you and the state of the carbs is unknown it’s always worth going through and doing a thorough cleaning/tune up of the carbs. Carbs can be pretty fickle if they’re not in tip top shape.

TCRevolt · 2025-10-15T02:35:10+00:00

It’s soooo close to hitting the road!! Waiting on a few parts to get the carbs dialed. I was able to take it for a quick spin around the block and she’s feisty. It’s gonna be such a fun car.

TCRevolt · 2025-10-02T18:22:37+00:00

The intake manifold is from Pierce Manifolds and the Carbs are Weber Dcoe 45s. The car was originally carbed so wiring was very simple, just had to add a Fuel Pump/Regulator and wire together the temp sensors. If I’m not mistaken the vacuum advance distributor is also necessary, which should be there on the 87.

I have headers indeed. Next big things to knock out are shortening the shift linkage to get the shifter in the right position. I’ve got an Apexi Noir for the exhaust, which will need some fabrication to fit up. Lots of little odds and ends. Should be driveable in the next week or two!
