Very good work so far!! You should Google some engine pictures and detail that bad boy!:sunglasse From what I can see, the distributor would be pretty easy to add spark plug wires to.:)

i have a question about the engine bay peice that connects the body and chassie in the engine bay did you get fitment problems mine sucks i cant get it right looks awesome ill keep watching this! we need more old skool cars on AF!

i use white glue to give it some 'volume' on the misaligned area and leave it there for drying once in place.. so once dried.. the piece is in position.. just that dont whack it out of place again.. :)

Very nice, I would like to get my hands on one of those.

Did a search around of the usual online model shops and couldnt find one, what is the code or model number for it?, and does anyone know where one might be available.

Dan.

i am not sure of the code or model number.. but here are 2 links to it..
seems like the box that i have is a newer version of the 'high mechanism' series

Nice job. Its nice to see a Fujimi kit with an Engine for once (not counting the Enthusiast kits).

Is that Studio 27 Carbon fibre?

Nice job maxwinamp. The only critique I have is that the back wheels seem to be sitting kinda weird. Usually, a RWD Toyota would have negative camber if any (as seen in the box art), while yours has lots of positive. I think if you were to correct this, it would improve the looks of the model a lot.
