Porsche 996 GT3 Mk1

Forget that fast thing dude! You just couldn't resist screwing it up! Ramon told me that 550 would be a fast build if I remembered right. Nice touch on the skirt, it really made some differences. And it comes to the bulb, just how detailed you're gonna push it!!!

Good work!

Just wondering, will your chassis mod for the ride height not interfere with the interior tub and windsheild assembly?

[wontonkiller]

super great start !!! looking great !!

Very very nice modification on the sideskirts which come really ugly out from the box...

Now I'm curious to see the headlights finished, another nice touch.

P.S. Have you got my mail with the photos...? (Wheels are on the way to Malaysia)

Tang, i have many WANTED to built kits, and few that i wish to be highly detailed, so i try my best to finish each in the fastest time possible...although i know most likely i'll fail to do that

Chris, believe it or not, i actually didn't test fit the windows until you remind me, only the interior tub, so i tested it just now, luckily it still fit after the reduce height with zero gap , but to be safe, i slightly trim the edge of the interior tub, thanks anyway

Robi, i did send you an email reply
anyway, those wheels look 100x much better i hope can test it ASAP, thanks a lot!

Your progress is informative. I also was wondering if the interior would fit good. Good luck.

I didn't get your reply, unfortunately.

About the wheels, you know it will be necessary modifying the pin and despite the overall diameter is similar to the Tamiya's, to have the low ride height shown in the photos, I guess it will be necessary modifying also the suspension fixing. Anyway, let's see...

this work is excellent

Last week i received a set of wheel from Robi, he was kind enough to send it for me free (million thanks Robi)


The wheel is from Geronimo Works, really nice wheel


Closer look at the wheel


However the wheel mounting is different from Tamiya


So I got to remove the pegs with a side cutter and sand it off nicely


After that i drill a holes and super glue a 2mm plastic rod


The problem with Tamiya's 911 GT3 wheel is that they use 360 Modena's Tire which is much more thicker, maybe to save cost


Now it look better with a thinner tire and bigger rim


the rear wheel fit nicely without any modification besides the peg, the front however i need to trim off the peg on the brakes because the wheel stick out too much





as usual i dislike the heater line at the rear glass, too obvious


wet sand with 600, 1000, 1500 & 2000 grit


and polish with Tamiya's compound


looks good


but when under certain lights, u can still see some tiny scratches


so i repeat with Tamiya's compound, much better now, still need some polish at the edge though


now i can have a better view inside


comments are welcome

I agree, these wheels definitely suit the car well.

[da_ashman]

Those wheel & esp the tires look heaps better on the GT3!
Im always nervous about removing the molded window defroster from clear parts, but youve managed to show what can be done!!! Amazing!
Cant wait to see more!!

I told you, the FS-01 were the right rims for the GT3

Lovely stance and fantastic work on the rear glass. Thanks for sharing.
