HLJ kicks ass once again!

Look what i got in the mail!!!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/349757Picture001.jpg

Pretty fast, 11 days from the date they shipped it. This was by SAL.

I'd like to thank P-man for the inspiration for buying the TE37's.

Now would anyone like to suggest a color combination?

My initial plans are, Silver with a Black Top, ALA NSX style (but it did appear on the MR2) and Gunmetal TE37's or else Bronze.

black rims wouild look badass on a black car like stealthy, are u putting the te37's on the mr2? and is it a sw20?

yes

and yes it's sw20
u can tell by the pic

nice kit you got there, the silver and gunmetal should look great, I have those te-37s myself (came with my evo III kit). But with that mr2 kit, you definitely need to do some suspension mods because it sits too high up especially with 18 inch wheels. Try and check out Hirofkd's site sorry don't have the url here with me.

I think the red with alloy coloured wheels would look cool :cool:
Ohhhh...and dont forget the panel lines :finger: :finger: :finger:

j/k :D

I want that kit too!!!

bri g, yeah the suspension needs major work on this kit! i did one before.. hirofkd's SW20 looks great!!

P-man, how could i forget the panel lines! I'll think of you when i do them!! hehehe j/k

i think i need to order more of these kits.. i love MR2's (Sw20's especially) and they are cheap 1000yen.

one of my friend have this kit and he just simply not make the suspension (it's a style of phantom suspension)


mario:D

I love MR2s. I need to get more. :D

Silver/black w/ gunmetal TE37s sounds great to me! :) I couldn't bring myself to paint the side mouldings black on my blue MR2. Will you?

jay.. haha well depends, if the silver looks good with the silver molding then i might not paint it.. but i like to get as close to exact replica!

i'm gonna have my 1:1 MR2 painted Silver with Black top one day!!

Cool, man. What will you do for the badges? I built the Fujimi "NEW MR2 SW20" kit (from 1993) and it was badged as a GT.

What is yours marked as? Toyota at left; "turbo" at right and MR2 honeycomb in the middle? or have you swapped your tails? Have you posted any pics of your real car yet?

Ok now i feel ripped off!!!

hahaha j/k, anyways.. i just checked the kit again, it's badged as a G-Limited and it does not have the Raised engine lid!!! they gave me the NA version (SW21) argh!!!

oh well no biggie, i guess fujimi has 2 of these bodies going around. I think i got the NEW MR2 SW20 body... my last one came with the raised engine lid vents.

so i guess now i'll just have to build a NA (SW21) version.

TIME TO RE ORDER!

jay, here's a pic of my MR2, it used to look like that.. until i broke the front lip a Autocross. Currently i'm getting a new lip and painting my stock wheels to ressemble the 10th anniversary mr2 (GUNMETAL)

yes mine is badged toyota on the left, turbo on the right and the honeycomb lights... i have not changed the lights yet but i will soon!
Modelling has made me broke, as well as the other go fast parts for my car :)

jsut checked again!!

i got a HARDTOP version!! it must be the initial D mold!

argh i wanted the T-Top... no biggie! Time to harrase HLJ to find me a T-TOP SW20.

where the pic of your mr2 was taken??


mario:D

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Red River Exhibition Grounds.

LOL!!! Sorry, man... :p I knew there was a hard-top mold from Hiro's article, but I didn't know which kit it was. And I didn't think they made any of them the n/a models. :o

And don't forget to put something in behind the seats so you can't look in one side vent and out the other. ;)

BTW, your 2 looks HOT! I'd love to have one of those (or an FC TII; tough choice, huh? :p)!

Sorry for dragging this off-topic......but i have to say after seeing a better photo of your car it looks darn sweet :) :)

HEHE Thanks Guys! I like how my car looks sometimes, but i think my styling has changed now.. Next Style, either new body kit or Non body kit with gunmetal stock rims! oh boy do they look sweet.. just gotta paint 2 more of them.

Yeah.. so the Initial D version is the Non-Turbo (SW21) mold cuz the SW20 (really a SW21) in initial D is non turbo. The illustration on the TOHGE (the one i got) and the other MR2 one should be both Turbo models with raised Engine lids. That's what i had before.

I guess Fujimi is getting cheap , thinking some people won't notice the difference or something! but i want a freaking turbo model with T-Tops!! well T-tops is not really a big thing for me.

I like to take the t-tops off and stick them behind the seats. Maybe next time I'll make the little harnesses for them... :p
