How did I do?! The Manatee Racing MR-S comes with 2 different wings, 2 different rear-end treatments and 3 different front-end treatments but some crappy pram Enkei wheels :mad: It's a neat little kit though!

Nice selection, that Cefiro wagon looks cool (think u should do that first;) ) and that rx7 brings back a few memories for me from when i built it in my early modeling days. Those were the days when there was no troble buying Fujimi kits in the UK.

very nice schwag, tonio. what the one under the wheels? i can't see it because the wheels are blocking it. i like the FC3S RX-7, i say build that first. and i totally agree that Fujimi Z1's are paltry when compared to Aoshima's version.

The distributers just won't import them any more, they say there's no market for them. Im sure there is, we have a few brits on the forum who are into their kits and i've spoke to a few people at shows etc who are too. I hope to import some myself if things go well, we'll see!

Thanks for the pic of the rims. I love those rims, especially the aoshima ones. However, the rims come from Bb kits still look cool. Keep posting the updates :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper

flyonthewall, good luck!!! It's a great kit! It has lots of potential to stand out!:) If you'd like, I can post some pictures of it! I'm gonna do a mild body kit on it I think:cool:

while tonio's pic doesn't show it very well, there are more differences between the Aoshima and Fujimi Z1's. the Fujimi's have spokes that are too short, the spokes are mis-shaped and stumpy, and the whole way the wheel looks is generally totally off.

tonio - are you still going to use the Fujimi ones on the bB? have you made any progress on the Chaser yet?

I want to use the wheels that came with the bB since I found some lower-profile tires that make them a little more pleasing to the eye but I just got a cool set of Wor Meister S1s that would look great on it as well! The chaser is on hold for now because I'm unsure how I want it to look when it's done:( I'm thinking about using those smaller Technospeeds on the MR-S but right now I have too many ideas going through my head:silly: I need to play some Gran Turismo to clear it out!!!

How about Sega GT2002 on Xbox, I am playing this recently. GT3 is making me kind of boring , and Sega GT '02 is having richest graphics as GT3 does. :D :D :D :D
