Lightbulb HKS Altezza!!!!

Hi to all AF. I am actually searching for pict on HKS Altezza. The racing version. I need some pict inside the car,
Interior: Dashboard, rollcage, computers, seat and harness.
Exterior: Rear view (detail shot), both side view, top, underside (diffuser), Front (detail shot), engine.

If anyone have any these picture, could you please email to me at :
rtunedin@pacific.net.sg
Thanks.

Reason I need to have these pict is I am building one, but doesn't have interior pict, so have stop. My Altezza engine coming in, so have to start work.

I do remember a site call overboost.com, they have a show in State, do have a pict with open hood. Wondering is there anyone went to that show and took some photos on that HKS Altezza?

As for all modelers in Singapore, if some of your parts from Fujimi kits screw up, now you can reorder that part again throught R Tunedin' hobby shop. We give that service to all. If you are not in Singapore, then it's kind the hard. Maybe mediamix could help the oversea guys.

Holy crap that's a nice car! I think a good start would be the Altezza kit and the Taniya Opel, the front end looks similar to me...

I look forward to see progress pics of this one

I bet if tamiya made this kit it would come with a already carbon fiber looking plastic body, that way theres no need to paint it.

I seem to remember them doing a 1:10 RC shell out of carbon-effect Lexan. It looked killer...

Thanks to all the helps that site really help me alot. I try to finish it by the end of June 2003. The carbon Fiber is the toughest of all. Very expensive. Going to use BBR carbon fiber and kelver. The body is 90% finished, too bad, I don;t have a digi cam, if not I could show to everyone.
Once again thank you for the greatest help all of you given to me. Thanks.:angel:

Is yours based on the Fujimi 1/24 kit? If so did you shorten the wheelbase at all? I cant work out if its shorter or not, I know is 2 door instead of 4.

HAs anyone ever seen it in real life? my dad was literary staring at it for ten minutes, he loves road racing, he road races a green crx in an unlimeted class, he wants to make a model of his own car after seeing all my cars, he said when I make an order form hlj, get a crx too, anyways, the altezza, it's better in real life than in the pics, the whole body is carbon fiber, and in person, it looks very nice, but the body is all flat color, it's not shiny, but it's still nice, no, NOT NICE, IT'S CRAZY

I'm pretty hardcore on engine details, but this nightmare would keep me up at night!!!

It's not just the detail, you have to do ALOT of custom work too, for instance, the engine has been moved back, so if you wanna make this car , youre gonna have to figure out how to do that, and the suspension in mounted longitudinal, instead of the normal latitudinal suspension position., ALOT of work... I"ll be amazed if someone can pull this one off

Ill pay somebody $50 if they can do it, to every little detail. (and when I say every, I mean EVERY) lol, the $50 might pay for half of the cost of building it :finger:
