The only problem I ever noticed was that the suspension lays too high, and the interior detail is poor.

Re: fujimi JDM ITR
anyone noticed how the block is kinda too small for the fujimi kit. i was contemplating on doing it but seemed funny to me. regardless i'm gonna build one like my car in real life.

If you throw a considerable amount of engine wiring in there, and kind of space out the battery and brake booster and the radiator and whatnot not exactly accurately, but close and a little tighter, you should be able to hide the fact that the motor and the car aren't the same scale. I don't know if that will work in practice, but that's my plan on an upcoming engine swap. Minimize the discrepencies and in this case, go for the overall effect more than absolute accuracy (oh! how it pains me to say that).

Re: fujimi JDM ITR
The interior detail on the Fujimi kit BLOWS.
I snapped you a couple pics. Even though the Revell motor is smaller than the Fujimi chassis, the Fujimi wheel wells are so over-sized that you'll have to hack up the entire front end to get it to fit. Using the Revell engine bay (including the work it would need to space it out to fit) would probably be easier... In this pic, I've removed the molded-in engine bottom from the Fujimi chassis. |

Re: Re: fujimi JDM ITR

I myself, have put a motor in my fujimi ITR (non-mugen) it's a chrysler v6, the revell itr, looked wack. and the stealths bay fit right into place.
