Well done choice as a modeling project. Will follow your progress.

Good morning and Happy New Year!
Edi thanks for the compliments, for me it is a pleasure to be here with so many talented modelers
For details of the celica I'm looking at the pictures of the restoration of MAT, that's the version 87, the previous ones are different in some details, I'm trying to make the best compromise
these days I finished the turbine and its done ..
new photos in the coming days
thanks again
see you soon

Hello guys ... some updates
I have nearly finished the parts of the engine compartment ..
missing some detail that I put at the end
I finished the suspension system
for the exhaust system I had two options .. safari and Portugal
I had to build everything because I have not found anything to be able to adapt
like it?












all for today
the next day I put the pictures of the suspension and exhaust system

thank you very much

see you soon

Luca, is that the turbo below the exhaust manifold? What is the component that is coming off the exhaust manifold sitting in the inner wing?

It's impressive stuff, you are doing a wonderful job.

Keep it coming! What about the wheels? They are multi spoke and different widths front & rear.

It's the pressure relief valve.


Excellent work on the engine as on the whole model, very promissing !

Diobò sì! E io che pensavo avessi preso la mano da tratorrrreeee! Che bella sorpresa, mitico!
Voglio sentire la pronuncia dodicimorellese di quell'inglese lì io , a te si possono risparmiare i superlativi tanto sappiamo che cosa viene incontro bravo.

Also known as wastegate valve.

Known for those who precisely know what we're talking about, I doubt someone will understand anything by only answering "wastegate valve" if he doesn't already know there is such thing on a turbo (I mean only needing to identify the part in the model, what perhaps was the case for Kaj45rpm)
(uhh... and what is wastegate...?)
"Pressure relief valve" is probably less technical but clearer imo for those not familiar to rally or engine terms
