This is a new project. For this car I haven't made a bodykit but only added a custom front spoiler (2 spoilers were in the box). The wheels are the Volk Racing TE37MAG (18").

Pics with the primer coat:

The car will have black rear windows & white-red taillights. For the wheels I don't know if it's better to paint them in grey or leave them in white...

Used that bumper on my S13. Only modified it a little bit.

no white/red taillights!! well if your doing that euro clear style, then ok. hehe

Which S13 kit is that?
Hows the red? I got the same red for my 180 but yet still doing body work to it.

About the kit, it's the Silvia K's in 18 inch profile version REF: 18010.

The color is italian red from Tamiya.

Cool. But didn't you build that kick-assed S14 with the lightning rims, Evo hood scoop, r32 front lenses etc? That was a mean machine, this one is cool too, but kinda soft.

;) Yes the car is softer than the S14 but I haven't felt like making a bodykit. The car will be almost "from box". :D

I'd definately go with those red/clear taillights. Should look great.

Silvia is all that needs to be said... Soft, Hard, Modified, Out of the box. It is still a Silvia and they demand respect....

RESPECT

Looks great! It would look mean with Gunmetal rims but the white looks just as good!! :)

I don't think I've ever seen white rims used before but I do like them on your model. Nice.

In the wire,

loose the 2fast2corny poster!! hehe.
That and a Silvia do not mix.
Instead print a Option magazine cover, will go with the car better.

Not such a big point, but i'd leave stock wheels on the back if i was going for the "drift look" different wheels on front and back. The Enkei NT-03 and the Ray's TE37 are both expensive wheel sets, usually the car will have the expensive rims on the whole car for most of the time, but when drift time comes the good wheels are swapped with the not so good ones so that the good ones are not damaged. ;) Just a pointer :)

wha... you know a lot... i thought the different wheel were just for looks, lol... how ignorant of me

The car is almost finished, the interior is done. Still the window trims, panel lines & paint the wheels to be more realistic.

Hope you like.
