Street Drift S13

hey guys, im a newbie on this forum (after a long time as a guest reading) and after 5 years of high school ive finally decided to get back into modelling.
so just before christmas i went and bought a tamiya S13 model to replace the one that the paint melted when i was 13 and never finished
(no primer)...
so far i've pretty much done SFA, but i have mucked around with the spare interior...stripping our the back seats etc.
ill post pics when i can get the camera off my dad

ps. any opinions on the rims im using (sparco N1 blue rims by fujimi)

:useless:

lol. couldnt help myself. hope u can get some pics up soon. i loves Silvias!!!!!!

i agree... if you need hosting, hit me up... :)

thanks for the support guys. i got the camera, taken the pics....now im jus waitin for my dad to get of his arse and load em up. cause all the connections and shit for the camera are hooked up to his computer only.

i made 2 exhausts, an intercooler, oil cooler (dont ask me why), mucked around with a spare dash (making it look all racey), aannnnnd builhttp://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/#

The oval canned muffler is a fudged round stock one with custom tip and piping. and the round can (ment to look like an RS*R) is made from a pair of wire crimp connectors (CBF'd buygin plastic tubing at the time) the seat is heisted from a nascar model and modified a bit, and the 'race dash' is still yet to have a few switches, an AFC, and a monster tach added. hope this works.

I see only X

There you go mate. :thumbsup:

so it did actually work....sorry its been a while. i managed to spend a night the the local cop shop:angryfire: . i really curse the wanker who started on me...anyway when i got out (hehe that sounds funny), i cut out the grill opening, and where the numberplate goes (these will have mesh put in them) and i also built up the spare chassis i had from the spare kit so i could check for fitting problems. all in all i havent really dont much on the silvia. ive mainly be toying round with my 'test car' that i will use for testing paints (its some old AMT nascar truck thing). but i should hopefully have the silvia in primery as soon as the rain clears. one i do that ill start posting more pics.

now that i remember....any opinions on paint (take in to account im using grey primer). and i also have a second set of mags to ensure a proper 'street drift' look. that is. no body kit, mismatched wheels, and low :smile:

cant wait so see this one completed :evillol:

well people, this thread if offically over! i went to primer the body bout 5 mins ago. i noticed that the side was bent out slighty. So i did what ive read to do. that is use a hair dryer on low speed and heat, holding it at least 20cm(8inches) away. i was beind the side back into place, which it went. then i looked at the A pillar and the edge of the roof and the F**KING S**T A$$ED hAIR DRYER MELTED THE BLOODY THINGS! needless to say i am not impressed. so the silvia is over until i get a new kit (a month of so most likely). does something or someone not want to me to build a silvia kit (this is the 2nd one ive rooted up). i was really pissed off, now im in pain. went and worked off the anger on the punching bag and ive busted up my right hand again. i dont even know if i want to continue modeling anymore :disappoin :banghead: . have a good one people, WIDELOAD

another update. after much consulting with my girlfriend (she told me not to get worked up about it, its only a model). she suggested that i turn the melted body into a bit of drift damage, becuase it looks like the car has rolled. so i might do that while im waiting for some free time to get a new kit. wish me luck.

sounds like a good idea

You consult models with your girlfriend? I'd spend that time consulting something else :eek:

no i dont consult my girlfriend about models. she came over and saw me goin off my head. so she gave me advise....for once she didnt bitch and whine that i was paying more attention to my 'toys' (dammit i hate it when they say that) and to her.

on a side note....purpura, i can find time to build, work, and 'consult my girlfriend' (if you know what i mean :naughty:)
