speechless, except that i have to say that it looks like crap!!!! hahahah



j/k dayum thats the shit! props! that is tyte!!!!

What's with the exhaust? It looks like it has a smaller muffler that dumps halfway down the car. I'm talking about the bit right above the N in GT WING.

Anwho, looks good. Looking forward to seeing what you've got in store for this.

JZX Coolness!!:sunglasse

Why aren't you using the GT wing parts? :)

Looks awesome, where'd you get this kit, i love it!

Not sure what is up with the exhaust being like that. Tried to find some reference pics of the underside of a Chaser, but found nothing.

4 door sedans powered by the 1JZ-GTE are very cool. Chaser, Cresta, Mark II. I got kits of all of them.

I bought this kit at Best1Hobby about 5 months ago. They might still have some.

Completed the suspension.

Body with a few mist coats on the suspension.

Looks like some sort of sound/tone damper.

I have a suggestion: How about making another exhaust end pipe and connect to that muffler to give the car twin exhaust outlets?

Why aren't you using the GT wing parts? :)

No reason, really. Just feel like the car looks better without them.

Awsome, i have the same kit....now i want to build it :D

Cant wait to see more progress! :)

1JZE power!!

This is getting good!!:sunglasse

I want a Chaser too.
So clean. :eek:

Hah! I have the same "problem" (seems like the best word to describe it, but i don't believe it myself)

Currently on my bench:
Revell Datsun 510
Revell BMW Z8
Tamiya R34 Skyline
Revell '63 Impala
Revell ITR

I need to finish those in the next month, lol, the skyline's been there for 2-3 months because the body's gold paint got f'ed up... maybe once 1 or 2 are finished, I can get to work on my JACCS Accord which has to be finished by June... not likely...

Before i completely jack your thread, great job on the car man... Japanese 4-Doors are so SEXY

Progress thread ... must ... not ... die. Continue at ... all ... costs. :biggrin:

Completed wheels. Aoshima 19" Koenig WRV's painted GSI Super Metallic Super Gold.

Interior close to completion. Still need to clear the carbon fibered areas. Oh my, so close ... am I actually going to finish a kit?!?

Chaser is looking great. I'm feeling some drift spirit going on here, and I sure like it!

usually when people paint their VIP wheels gold it bothers me.... but yours look excellent! Great work im anticipating the finish.

the exhaust is like that because toyota used the lexus chassie and then redid the exhaust so that one muffler is capped off.they made more horsepower by doing that too.

Should be a good one :)

Chasers are popular drift cars in Japan. They do come in a manual.

Final layer of paint was put on a few nights back. Interior is complete except for the C/F on the SAS seats. Pics of that soon.

Finally finished the seats. Putting CF on the back was a pain, even with the good tutorials I read. Seats are SAS Bride Zeta II. Belts are Modelers racing harness. CF is 1/43 scale SMS black/pewter.

Rest of the interior should be ready tomorrow.

the exhaust is like that because toyota used the lexus chassie and then redid the exhaust so that one muffler is capped off.they made more horsepower by doing that too.

kind of off topic but are you serious about that capped off muffler makes more horsepower?
