Look's awesome Tom.I love to color and the body kit is very clean.. Good job!http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/sunglasses.gifhttp://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/sunglasses.gifhttp://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/sunglasses.gif

Very nice!!! Little to much camber.....Love the exhaust

that colour is so cool. whats it called?

Thanks.. The paint is Tamiya candy lime green, which imo, is the nicest
color i've used from tamiya sprays. Pictures can't show how nice it looks
in real life.

I like the bodywork, but the wheels turn me off. Those massive sleeves and o-ring tires look cartoonish and silly in my opinion.

It's a well-built model, but an aesthetic slip-up. That's my take.

Nice!.. love the bodykit and colour
maybe use some new style Nismo decal to replace the old style one?

Where does that front end come from? Cause it's like the third one I've seen.

Very awesome by the way!

good build .. i like it .. i do have a queston tho ... mostly because i do not know .. why do you have the tires leaning at such an angle? ...

i know about chamber and such when setting up the suspension .. but never seen any type of race car (or street car for that matter less it had bent axles or bad alignment) .. that has that extreme of an angle on the wheels.

This car has some mad camber .. It is a drift thing ...

Just my :2cents:

Show that car standing still, and I bet you $5 that the wheels wouldn't be leaning in that much. While a car moves, there is all sorts of weight transfer and body roll, I don't care how stiff you set it up, so a picture of it in action doesn't convince me.

Well I was not trying to convince anyone, and I don't realy come to this forum to argue with people how ever most people on here seem to me to be just waitig to argue and make other peoples cars look bad bottom line is it is not your build and Camber built it to how he likes to see a car ...

/End Rant

And this is not aimed just at willimo...

Not same car, but just to show you such thing exists...more of an old school thing.

enuoght abuot the camber. who cares the car doesnt run. wat the important thing is are the wheels from fujimi????

Gawd Danm!!!!

wow, the rims look so special. And the angle of the wing is more than 45 degree......the setting is definitely for drift spec.

ya, the rim is from Fujimi, called Advan RG. Camber adds a ring outside the rims to make a deep rim look.

Camber + = better grip
Tires tend to lead outward in hard cornerings. its like tires kicking back to the asphalt i guess...
also i heard that the less rubber that touches the ground, less drag you'll have dunno abt that tho...

Nice DriftPig Man! :sunglasse

Nice bodykit.
But the rims are too "deep" which IMO doesn't look good.

drift spec is rear=almost NO CAMBER. front is like 6+degrees. nice car! but i think is would be nicer with less rear camber.

Nice car, the color is cool with the gold wheels.

Looks Phat camber!

Wheels are a bit too deep, but otherwise very nice! :)

youngdrifter_x

Yes.

Camber..excellent job man..you know i have a soft spot for all s13 models..esp sileighties..you got this one looking awesome.
youngdrifter_x: yes that is a wakaba mark..put on a car to show you've only been driving less that a year..but its common from what I have heard for drifters and others to put it on thier cars as a joke..i see em on ebay all the time..thought about getting one for mine..lol

Gray

Very nice model!! Hope mine turns out that nice!! :sunglasse

Cool model.. Love the color!

Doesn't really matter about the camber, you can have mosnter camber for drift or slight camber... My stock Mercedes has rear wheel camber for handling... and you should see my buddy's POrsche... rear wheel camber heaven.

Like ANtonio says "Build models for yourself" realism is not always compeltely approporaite. we are going after illusion right?

Love it

Came out excellent Tom. Love everything about it. And I enjoyed the sneak previews :sunglasse.

And to those of you who feel there is too much negative camber, you obviously havn't seen too many drift cars aside from the popular ones.... :rolleyes:

Wow, I did'nt expect 20+ replies to be an argument over the camber.
I personally dont give a shit about the correct camber on 1:1 cars, Its
not like this cars going to be hitting the track any time soon. Its a model
people. I like the way it looks anyways, so it's not going to change.

It seem like all my finished threads turn into a argument over something
1:1 related, its really sickening me :mad:

What I think the problem is, is that everyone is only looking at the D1
Drift cars which are all over anymore, which dont have much camber at
all. Take a look at zilvia.net, or some other drifting galleries non D1
related, you'll see what im talking about. Also take a look at just about
all the GP Sports cars, they have about the same amount of camber as
my sil80..

And finally, I think the car looks more aggresive, which is why it's not
going to change.

Thanks for the positive replies also. :sly:

i think it look's awsome man, i personaly like the camber, wish i knew how to do it.

Don't mean to be a post whore, or hijack this thread or anything, but:
:iagree: 100+%.

sorry to bring the camber crap up again, but the reason most of those demo cars of GP sport, or Kazaama... etc has so much camber, because Nissan S13 and S14 can't take anything wider than 9 inch up front and 11 inch at the back.
To able to stuff so many rubber/wheel into the car and looks good, massive negative camber is need. But who give a shat, back to topic.

AWESOME BUILD MAN!! I love it. :)

I'm not arguing. Just saying. That's all. Drift isn't my taste, and looks silly to me. But whatever.

And, what I do apologize for is forgetting to say this:

I like it, Camber, the color looks slick with the gold wheels and those shiny lips. Very cool, man, your cars look awesome and this will go well with that white FC that you made. I was even going to make a quip about how the windsheild banner looks like it says "RUST" but I don't want to raise anymore eyebrows... seriously, folks, let's have some fun here. Don't let statements turn into arguments, I can't imagine anyone here wants that.

LOL dont worry camber, Everyone had a winge about my peugeot and the camber it has.

Although...the only reson it had camber was becuase of the size of the rims.

But i agree, it makes it look more agresive.

Keep up the wicked work! :)

I second that.
I think the car looks totally awesome.

Hell yea I agree with you, I got so much poop thrown at my face for my S15.

Awesome work!

Thanks for the kind words,
glad to see we're off the camber topic :biggrin:

Maybe when they say 'camber,' they mean your name?? j/k

Well, I like what I see! It's great to see those are the Fujimi wheels, which sucks without any modifications. For me, it's a bit too deep.. but it adds character to the car, and the drift car theme! Great work.

I think you did an awesome job. love the color choice!

Camber this is a sweet ride. i have to agree that many people in the US don't see or have not seen that true side of JDM drifting. living in japan i have seen 1:1 cars with way more camber than this model being driven on the street.

good job and lets see some more Camber. :grinno:

Thank you, glad someone understands what im saying..
Thanks everyone else for the kind words once again!

Dude that car is "banging" that is a nice color scheme you picked out. By any chance is that lime green by tamiya? if it is that color is great especially with gold rims... it looks great.

Looks great mate.Don't let anyone else tell you how it should or shouldn't be.

Thank you.. Yes, it is tamiya candy lime green :sunglasse

Love this car,... awesome color, sweet rims, just not enough camber though... j/k

I like the whole car as it is and you did a great build.

Note to self: Maybe if I slammed my bimmer it would have that much camber, too. Hmmm

Great build Camber! Candy lime green looks wicked! I like the Hachi Roku in your sig too!

Nice, I love the camber, camber, those rims look hot, and i love the angled muffler, looks great. dont see many mounted a lil sideways, i agree, this is one of the greatest colors by tamiya.

Thanks. I agree, mounting the exhaust at an angle deffinately adds to
the aggresive look of it. I wish my camera did'nt die before I can get
more rear pictures, you can't see the exhaust well enough. Oh well,
thanks again everyone :biggrin:

did you make that exhuast? Its like really nice

did you make that exhuast? Its like really nice

Yes, I did make it myself. I used styrene tubing for the can, and straw
for the tip.. Here's a picture of it on my R34. Did'nt feel like making a
new one so robbed it off the skyline :)

sweet car, love the color and rims. How do you get such good decals?

This is sweet! At first glance, I thought you repainted your S13 Silvia. Then I looked closer and saw it was a Sil-Eighty. :smokin: Very cool, and the cambered wheels add some spunk to this kit.

Thank you..

As for the decals mstngcobra, the Option decal was made my Joewlaw
from here, and the Trust decal was in the set of decals LauBak made,
supplied by tonioseven.

camber...first, what size styrene rube for the can? second, is that skyline a GM color?

It says on the bag 11/32".. not sure if thats the right measurment or
not i should be giving you. The skyline is Silver leaf by tamiya.
