Golf 4 Dragster

yea i like that .. you are making the car very detailed compared to the real thing ... i like it ... whar rims are you using for this 1 ... i dont know if you posted them already but I was thinking about doing a drag project but i cant seem to find rims ...

hey, @ visible, dont use the ones that you said you were going to in the 1st place they dont look very nice at all lol :)

Yeah, good to say, but in Estonia there's no shops which sells model parts and thats why I have to use therse wheels because it's hard to get better wheels. :frown:

well couldnt you look for a doner car and take the wheels off that ? or im sure theres someone on here that would send you some ! :)

I have a pair of drag slicks I could donate. pm me I'll send photos.

Or jsut check online for wheel deals ;)

doesn't that tuning18 site have wheels?

Im sure it would

maybe this was covered before but is this a strick dragster? so like no soundsystem or tvs. the interior is going to be pretty much seats a roll bar and a dash?

Or jsut check online for wheel deals ;)

Yes, I had watched online part shop, but there are one minus : Sendind them in Estonia buys 2 x more than wheels.

well it still must be cheaper than buying another diecast to just use the rims.

That sucks

Ok, I think that I will buy new slicks, but now is one second problem, I don't have any websites of parts shops in Europe what sells slicks, so can you put here some links ? Tuning18.com I had watched, there weren't any slicks.

Anyone know. I dont. Sorry

How about these? I'll send them to you free of charge.

Why not, but can I understand you right that you shell out haulage and I give you money only for slicks ? If so then how much you want ?

How about these? I'll send them to you free of charge.

erl is back !! where you been dude ? !! got anymore projects ? i miss your work !! :(:grinyes:

Yes these are drag slicks, I pretty much made them myself, if you count cross breeding nice wheels with meaty tires. :D

No charge, I'll take care of shipping.

The drag Supra had final photos up, sorry if they weren't clear, but it's been dismantled and parted out, as for the CRX, she was a beaut, but sadly, she fell, broke the motorbay, chipped alot of work in paint, and made me think about re-doing that build, sorry I didn't get photos earlier, but I plan to revive her as soon as I decide whether or not to open my Model Car Performance Part eBay shop (info later).

And yes, I'm back, I've been drowning in my work and all that whatnot, but have no fear. I am here.

Look forward to many more exciting builds like my RE-FD, Taking (yet another) Ertl FnF RX-7 (FD), making a 100% Custom Turbo Kit (gonna make a few and probly sell on eBay) that is pretty much a bolt on modification, so, if I do decide to open an eBay shop and sell this stuff, If you have an FnF RX-7, this kit will just replace stock parts, it looks nice. ;)

How about these? I'll send them to you free of charge.

Haha, I just noticed you can see my FD and a little of the turbo kit in that photo. :D
And that long blue thing is my custom bolt on FD N1 Exhaust.

woo i lovew your work atleast there will be someone esle with some more extreme mods :) cant wait to see some more of your work !! :)

@elrx what a bummer about the honda! so if you open your own shop would it seel stuff like turbos or complete cars or both. rims? etc.

@elrx what a bummer about the honda! so if you open your own shop would it seel stuff like turbos or complete cars or both. rims? etc.

yeah i will buy some off you, do them at buy it now prices that would be well good, if you sold like exhausts turbos and installs and stuff :)

u mean u would buy stuff form elrx. i know u quoted me on if he sells turbos and stuff but it makes it look like i was seeling them. just wanted to clear that up.

Yeah, I plan to sell; Wheels, Tires, Turbo's, Intercoolers, Intake Filters, Mufflers, Seats, Wings, Gauges, and lots more. And also complete Engines ready for motorswaps. And also get into specific parts, like special orders, B/O Turbo Kits (full kit, turbo, piping, intercooler, bov, downpipe), B/O Exhaust Kits (full, piping, cat (if wanted), muffler), B/O Intake Systems CAI, or RAI, Body Kits (when I get better w/ fiberglass), And Full cars that I've built and customized, and maybe even front and rear clips, to make conversions.
Chances are if I get this shop opened I'll have a Grand Opening Sale where AF Members get a discount. :D So, I'll keep you guys informed.

B/O = Bolt On
CAI = Cold Air Intake
RAI = Ram Air Intake

lol ooo right, sorry, erm but yeah if erlx does start a shop up then sorted il be able to buy some good parts for 1:18 i think there should be a business set up to deal with body kits and think to do with 1:18 something scale auto style they would make soo much money.......

sweet we get a discount! what is a b/o? i was just htinking body odor but yeah. how much do you think you'd charge for a turbo exhause etc. a complete car liek to the extent of your crx conversion. or supra?

Well, B/O means Bolt On.

And how much for a turbo? Depends if you want a custom B/O kit.
Maybe a single turbo will run like $1-$2?

As for my full cars, We'll say my CRX for example, judging by the amount of work I've put into it, I don't think I could let it go for less than $50-$60.
But as for the Supra, if it was still intact, maybe like $30.00.

must be quite a bit, for the detail and things i suppose it depends slightly on what he started with etc.... for and exhaust and engine i would charge anymore than $40 that sound about right ?

u took the supra apart?! and wow that's fairly inexpensive for the bo parts. and $60 for the crx would be nice. looks like i'd be a customer if my parents will let me buy it.

Heh, The B/O parts are all going to be handbuilt to fit your car specifically, and they might run from $5-$10 depending on the amount of parts and labor.

And the Supra has been dismantled yes, but I still have the body laying around somewhere, and the motor too.

As for the CRX, yes I'd charge alot for her, she took alot of work.

yeah he will have to make a thread of all the cars he is selling on there and the maby put links the the auctions....

elrx why don't u make a new thread right now on your ebay shop and all that.

B/O is a full kit.
Single is just the part.

I.E B/O Turbo Kit = Turbo, Piping, Intercooler, BOV, Downpipe, and Air Filter.
I.E S/P Turbo Kit = Turbo

Get it?

I should, I'm flooding this poor guys thread, sorry mate.

After that paint coat I think there will be third too. But bigger work is make roll-cage exactly for Golf 4. To make it I have to make all roll-cage 1,5 cm broaderer, and some things more, but less story and more work :iceslolan , when I get some updates then I put here some new pics.

dam that is hot ... im feeling this project like i said before! you custom built that whole rollcage>?<

Actually I don't. Its Focus Wrc version roll-cage what I frame up for Golf. And of course it need some extra mains.

Roll cage is NICE

very nice work. that's what i thot about the roll cage cuz it just looks like it was taken from another car.

is there any way you could make the cage a bit bigger ? were you not going to make your own at one point ?
