COMPLETED:AE86 Turbo

After 2 months of fiddiling with the body mods, this beauty has finally finished! Im impressed with the final results, although i still got heaps to learn with paint polishing and masking.

Here is a list of what i have done to it.
Custom frontmount intercooler
Custom bodykit, front, side and rear
Custom 4 pt harness
Custom half cage
Custom Exhaust

The fujimi's kit detail/quality is not that great, the windows seems to be foggy due to bad quality... both the front headlamp and rear lamps didn't fit perfectly.... :nono: oh well, Im still impressed though. :p

Thanks for viewing!

Looks really great man.

Nice work, those wheels really suit it, you could probaly polish the windows to get them clear again, would make it look real nice

thats nice! in my opinion I think the rims are just a tad bit big though. overall nice!!!!! I love it the huge intercooler

Awesome Levin! Did you also crack your front 'grille?'

Cool oldie !

This is awesome Andy!!! Really cool and nice bodykit!
now, where is the full counter sticker? ;)

The best Trueno I have seen in this forum. :iceslolan :sunglasse

Uuuuh....Juan...its a levin No pop ups. Pop ups only on trueno.
Awesome levin. I personally prefer them over truenos. Cant wait to see your next work.

Excellent work!! :sunglasse

nice levin. wheels are a tad big, but they've got to be if you have the body kit. looks real good.

Hi guys, thanks for the kind complements. :rofl:

Yes I understand the wheels may be a little bit too big for the car... I was going to use 17" but i stuffed up the deepdish treatment. Over here in New Zealand, we are very limited on resources... We can't get any flash looking rims like u guys can get....therefore we have to use what we have got.... Oh and we can't get any carbon fibre decals too....which is a shame...

Richard, Do you know how to customise own decals...?

Next project now going... Old School Skyline GTR2000 KPGC10, with engine bay details...

Nice, very nice. I like the color choice!

when will we see that thread?

Wow, that is a very cool looking car!!

I agree on the height of the wheels comments, as the car looks very tall. Also, you can see quite a bit of daylight beneath the front fenders which distracts from the quality of the body kit.

It's a well built car, and I like the subject, but its certainly got some questionable aesthetics.

I can't wait, though, to see the Hakosuka you'll be building. Fujimi or Tamiya kit?

Looks mighty fine to me mate.Hope mine comes out that good.

i think it's very well built. Great job with the body kit.

Very nice!
Nice set of rims.

Thanks for all the comments.

The wheel issue will be taken into consideration when building the KPGC10, since the standard wheels are steel wheels... not even mags...

All comments are apreciated for a better build in the future! Thanks very much! :smile:

Layla's Keeper> the Kpgc10 is a Tamiya kit, very detailed both engine and suspension works...

At this stage, I haven't really done much to it, but I will start up a new thread when I have more time off work...!

it looks tight one of the best AE86 out there.

If I had 10 thumbs, they'd all be up. Great job.

Andy: i know that there are some custom decal kit that allows you to print your graphic using injket paper and it also somes with it's special protective coating..etc so you can paint clearcoat on top on it. But i haven't try it myself so maybe someone else can give you some comments? I think Acorn models was selling it but not very sure.. oh btw, I remember there are some c/f decals at acron models as well. and some kelvar pattern one.. otherwise you can always order it from Chris:
Scale Auto Style

I'm using his C/F decal and they are very good!

btw, maybe you can try order wheels from websites like www.hlj.com (http://www.hlj.com) www.1999.co.jp (http://www.1999.co.jp) ? much cheaper and a larger collection!

I read the article on your S14 in Fast Fours as well. You got an awesome car and some mad skills. Both in modelling and driving.

Looks good. Nice work, but the bumper and rims just don't fit my style. Great build though.
