Little update: I glued some detail on the spare engine: I like to do it with something unmount (spark plugs, gear's oil reservoir less) at least is harder do less (you have to cut and redo) than add detail LOL
I have some other detail to add but I need a primer check before, than I'll finish details and start painting.

Cut out spark plugs, redone surround, seem cool and unusual to me ;)

Guys: you're profuse indeed!
Shocks, turned I guess more than one year ago... they waited me for tip milling (done by hand with file) I also tuned a shock's backing, guess I'll use the plastic modified one! Spring done by myself, seem ok to me ;) :D

Updates folks:
First, I done by own the hardware needed to fix shocks, 0.5 mm brass tube and 1mm copper pipe for hex bolts, at least they're 0.8-9mmm diam.
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/gionc/bulloni.jpg
Brakes updates: I wanted to mount calipers in the disc mount, insthed glue it directly (so if you're a kind of toy's lover you'll rotate weel and disc, with the caliper proper mounted ;), at least I'll glue all steady with a couple of unmounted rims ;) )
Test done with cloned calipers, than I milled down enzo's calipers since I found very easy to work directly on disc:

calipers primed (lecher acri) and painted with the awesome Zero Rosso Scuderia base, than cleared with the new Zero Clear (not 2k), polished just a bit, I like a bit of casted appeal. Decals Tamiya.

Andy: is not so thiny, 1mm diam, it is the 3rd I owned, sinced first lived 2 sec. and second one 3 sec. LOL. Now I'm cheap and careful and I have it from long time... safe :D
I'm not used to mill plastic (well also alloy at least LOL) but I found no bad, only my minimum speed is just 5000 rpm so I had to be careful to avoid melting.
And for those parts with a milky translucent acrilic white they're my 1/24 condoms :D LOL so not invisible, just covered up ROFL
Really: I plan to show the car with two rims unmounted so this part and the bolts behind are actually more visible than calipers :chair::chair::chair:
Alex: those is a sweety clearcoat... LOL

I had exactly the same problem fitting my calipers on my 360 rotors!
It took scraping out the inside surfaces of each caliper with a needle file to get them to sit right. It was tedious, but I got them to fit- yours will fit too, and look terrific.
But I have to say, I feel a bit better about mine now.... :evillol:

They will lokk even better with the rear skirt in place IMO
What color will they be? Hopefully not white?! ;)

If you keep those rims, defintiely go white to match the stripes. But, i would also not keep those wheels, sorry. They do look good, but not Ferrari-like enough. I have not seen the SAS wheels yet, but when I get mine in the next few days I will decide. I am betting they are a great fit, and do belong on any CS. But, it is your build and a great one it is indeed!!

Regarding all the work you put into the brakes, your wheels of choice guarantee a great view on them while the BBS-wheels kind of hide the brakes more. This is a somewhat practical arguement since taste and style is always a matter of personal preference. I´d say, follow your instincts. If these rims won´t work in the end you can easily switch back to the BBS´s.

They would look good in gun metal with a polished silver lip.

Uh uh: you understand at all my tastes LOL, not thanks :D ;)
The mild engine (those hidden in the baby's belly ;) )
Done spark plugs wiring, and also fuel rails (despite you'll see not a lot with airbox and upper frame installed, it would be a good training for the spare engine, those showed alone, not easy origami, I guess I'll send a warning letter to the PE manufacturer LOL), added also bolts (calibre 35) to the differential p-etched cover (done in 1 only piece: I fuc##d one and I'll use the complete set fr the spare engine) and to the gear cover; let me start with lambda sond and termostat connector: 3 each side/exaust, not yet glued/painted, you'll see few hours following finished:

We are lucky this UP is not so "explosive" as usual........
What would it be otherwise?
:eek2: :eek2:
Really nice Job!
I also have the bolts from Caliber35, but didn't use them................yet!

JanMarie, Alex thanks for your kind and friendly massive support ;) , appreciated :)
JM: calibre35 stuff are icredible speaking of details (and size) compared with machined stuff, as you'll see, but the material is not so strong and the sprue a bit large in diam., BTW, for the price, and comparedwithmachined stuff, they're more than amazing!!
Franco, oooofranco, glad to see you here, Doc. Tnx

You may say this isn't as explosive but these updates on this engine still packs quite a punch. Beautiful workmanship.

Thanks guys, more stuff: exaust,
something that would come lost, after muffler and airbox mounting, but that will give his contribution to the "wire organised chaos" ;) : oli lines
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/gionc/CIMG4742.jpg
and lambda sonds (2 each side) and termostat:

I need a careful wash on exaust manifold..
The steel kinda reduced CS muffler, I weathered sides
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/gionc/CIMG4751.jpg
and polished top ;)
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/gionc/CIMG4753.jpg
exaust sistem, prior finishing
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/gionc/CIMG4754.jpg
and after painting (MM metlizer steel over black, burnished with black, blue and rust)
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/gionc/CIMG4757.jpg
... I guess tomorrow I'll have the engine finished, than I need to do body's trims, transprents jobs, stickers and wheels, and more spare engine... until friday night..... I need to run...

Really nice works buddy! I admire your great sense on detailing and weathering, all those details look reasonable and balanced.
What're those oil lines? I knew only aftermarket mesh hoses can be used to represent the stuff but yours look different, and even more realistic, finer grit than the aftermarket products.

All you need buddy are a piece of solder (so good diam. choice ;) ) and a file :D just try!!!
