Well this kit does not contain engine.
But it has a small piece of it at the point of the ducts on the hood
(if you know what i mean...)

Take a look at this pics:
1.piece of engine
2.piece of engine fited under hood
3.piece of engine fited under hood with the mesh...

Again sorry for the light...

No I like it this way. (the intercooler)
Thanx!
The only problem is that it needs pipes on the sides.

Well I don't Know where you come from (planet)
But here (earth) if you open any tuner magazine, of any nationality (english, greek, german, japaneese, american) you will be surprized because most of the cars are full of stickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO if you don't know a shit about tuning PLEASE DONT POST in this thread..

:flipa:

p.s. Thank you guys!

Hey :wtf:
What happened to the attach button???
I want to attach photos...
What is going on here???

I wanna post!!!!!!!!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

KP60
10-08-2003, 07:57 AM
OK!
I will talk about the progress but I will not put photos yet (I can't) :banghead:

I painted the buckets and put some decals on.
I'm trying to make seat belts...

Now look, I'm making a "street" car right?
So I don't want a racing dashboard do I?
First I tried to change the one that comes with the kit so that it looks more "normal" but NO WAY!

Ah! Then comes the idea!
(Remember the RX7 I made?) It has 2 option dashboards. One for right driver and one for left...
I put the right on the RX7 so I have the other spare...

I will post some photos when (and if) it's possible...

It looks good. I think you should rise that right seat to the same hight with the left one..

Kasso

looks good, but... theres just something about the front end that doesn't make it look street. maybe it needs a custom front spoiler?

good idea with the street car. i think its great-somethin different

KP60
10-10-2003, 06:36 AM
Thank you guys! :bigthumb:

flying finn Thanks for the comment. I haven't noticed. It's also more front. But maybe I will lower the left instead because the steering wheel is to low and the bucket is high...

kasso Wait it's not finished. Tamiya has a spoiler but it is glued on later... Thanks anyway!!!

:cheers:

Here some more pics.
On Monday I will have more progress...

Hi KP60 great idea on making the Rally car into a street car. I don't think Tamiya made a Evo VII street car right?
BTW, what putty did u use and what are u gonna do to the decals you didn't use?

KP60
10-13-2003, 03:36 AM
Thank you guys!!!

Brian the putty is Humbrol.
And the I don't know about the rest decals...
Maybe keep em for another project...

I believe in 2-3 days the car will be ready!!!
