skyline powered s-2000

hi,
i just started this project today, i have already cut the hood out and mocked up a scrap rb26dett and it fits perfect, i am debateing on weather to glue the hard top down or leave it off? i will have mock-up pics in a bit. thanks.

that sounds cool. Hey post pics with the roof on and off. Also why dont u just not glue it on and have it so u can take it off or put it on?

heres some mock-up pics, remember this is not the rb thats going in its a scrap the one thats going in is brand new.

cool

Does you hood hinge at all?

no it wont i dont like hinges i will just make littel bases for it to rest on.

jdm, sounds cool, but your rb is leaning the wrong way, I know its a mock up, but dont want you having an unrealistic car, now would we?

honda...nissan...:disappoin:disappoin:disappoin

/\ /\ I kinda agree

yea i know its leaning the wrong way but if i lean it the other way it keeps falling over, but the finial engine will lean to the right like it spoused to. and for you others, its just a model and your welcome to your opinions but i got the feeling that that one little comment could start a big debate and i think i want that to stop, thank you.

will have some updates today and pics.

update.

the car needs to be sanded and resprayed as it only has one coat on it right now. the rims are the ones i might use but they wont be yellow.

sweet cant wait to see his done

Finally, I honda even I wouldnt' mind driving

ohh yea did i mention all that skyline power is going to the rear wheels only, so im gonna kinda go with a street drifter theam here so it wont have all those sponsers that the profesional drift carsa have. ohh and the body got its wet coat of paint and the hood and hard top got a coat of flat black. and the gt-wing will be flat black with silver stands.

looks killer man.......keep it up man

will have more updates later today, body is fully painted and interior is on its way. the engine bay is done and i nee to put the suspention together and fab up an exaust. the gt wing will get paint today also.

Looks really good! I like those rims. Where are they from and how big are they? (Askin' only as a fellow S2000 builder). I really like the work on this one, it looks great, but I'll keep my mouth shut on what I think about a Nissan I6 in my precious....

But I still like your model! Honest. Looks killer.

the rims are from a tamiya subaru rally kit, i belive they are 18's. i dont really car for the rb in a s-2000 etheir but, i wanted to use the car for my first engine transplant, and i do not have any spare l4's sittin sround exept for some civic engines, and theres no telling how much shit i whould get for putting something smaller than stock in it.

damn thats looking so fine! im totaly loving it.
I was thinking of transplanting a V8 into an S2000, but that looks sweet.
cant wait to see more progress.
keep up the good work

heres a update pic, i have fixed the front camber since the pic. i broke the upper arm in order to get camber and after i got some camber it looked like shit, so i super glued the upper arms back into place and will mount rims later after all the glue hardens. i also masked and painted the black around the glass.

looks cool. Jdm, you could've always chopped the two civic motors to a 45degree DOHC 3.6L mugen v8 to represent the f1 car motors.

there are laws againts this

j/k

:eek: you mean a S2000 wrapped around my precious I6!!!!!!!

jdmhotrod, you didn't want to do it.. but you did (nissan/honda)!!

:rofl: :lol2: :naughty: :p :p all in good fun my friends!! :biggrin:

personally though I like the idea, its neat. If I saw a S2000 with a RB26 stuffed in it at a show or something I would oggle it for a LONG time. keep up the good modelin!
