Hello guys,

The 180sx is one of my favorite drift style cars, over here it is called a 200sx. I had serious plans to buy me a real one but if have chosen for a newer car. But just to have one i build it in 1:24....

So far i have the body primed and ist going to be silver underside and black roof. The wheels are 18" Kranze Shoki, wich were painted black in the inside. To make the car sit nice i have lowerd the front and back.

I Build the rollcage myself with styrene rods.
The seat is from a old rallycar, i think i only place one seat.

looks promising! that kit is actually hard to find, well, with that box art i mean. fyi, the name of this car varies from country to country. here in north america it's the 240sx. in europe, australia and some asian countries it's known as the 200sx. in japan it's the 180sx.

I think they are from the flash of my camara ?? In real they aren't there.
The wetter here is not that great to take outside pics.

Here is a pic with the silver on it, the unpainted area is going to be black...

i think if u lowered the ride height and paints the wing from the kit silver, it'd go really nicely, btw great paintjob

cut that stupid cat off please. I'd go with the SAS wing and a CF splitter up front IMO.

very clean build so far! How does the Fujimi 180sx compare to the Tamiya one?

:rofl: oops, i never seen that. The seat is from a corolla WRC wich i built a few years ago. At that time i didn't spent much time on a model.
I think i'm going to dit it at the right way if it can come off.

@Jaymes : by the Tamia 180SX everything fits just a little better and is a little more detailed.

Hey,

That rollcage looks fantastic man! About the seatbelt, I don't think there should be a right way. It comes out of the hole in the seat, and that is how they layed it down while they are not using it. Everything looks great! Keep up the awsome work!
