EVO VIII F&F: Tokyo Drift

This is an Extreme Tunerz EVO VIII. I want to make a replica of the Tokyo Drift EVO. I've extended the front end an made a APR widebodykit.

Here are the pics of the Tokyo Drift EVO:

More pics coming soon.

looking very xtreme! i loved the 3F&F EVO VIII :D

i have a light up chassis for that car.. PM me if your interested.

This'll be way better than the models ERTL produce of same the car , the real car is an EVO 9 but ERTL's is an evo 7 based on the 2fast 2furious car.

IS it 1:18 or 1:24?? looks real cool!!

It's a 1/24.

cool i have on of them

i like the vent

I've got more pics of my progress. The three holes in the frontbumper are smaller and I removed the molded mesh. I make the intercooler behind the frontbumper.

Nice work!

awesome bumper...why not close those two holes in the middle, upper the big air intake?

The real car has those holes to.

Here are the new pics of my Evo. I've changed the rear bumper and removed the sunroof. The car is now ready for paint.

yes the real has those two holes...didnt spotetd it! LOL

oohh.. :eek: me wanty!!! :crying:

lookin' good so far!!!

keep it up, i wanna see the finished product!! :grinyes:

Nice work, but most of the car was already done, so you didn't have to do too much. It;s a little too wide as for me but NICE job so far. Don't paint it yet, work with a little waterproof sandpaper too make it really smooth.

Thats it from me, Kepp working, and keep us updated.

CheerZ, Amnes.

Here are some pics of the wing. I used the original wing to make the new one.

- painted bodyparts

Nice. You could use a better background eg. white sheet of paper, so we could see more. Nice work.

agree with amnes...

the lights look impressive...

I've got new pics. This time I have some pics of the rims. The rims are my IS200 rims from Jadatoys. I changed the wheels to 5 spokes instead of 5 double spokes and painted the center dark grey.

looks nice, but i like the rims with the 5 double spokes

yes imo at the scooby it looks better with the double 5 spoke rims...

^^^^ I agree with the above , but you've still done a great job filling in the rims!

I like the rims with the 5 double spokes too, but the real Evo has 5 spokes rims.

^^that's a good point. But you could take higher grit paper to finish the spokes off. Thay are a bit uneven ;).

totally agree!!:grinyes:

The Evo is finished now. I've painted the striping by hand and made the custom decals with my PC.

Yes, I've print them. (check page 2 for a picture)

What kind of paper did you use for those decals. I'd like to do some too bt all I have is sticker like paper - clear.

I used "SUPERCAL water slite decal system (clear)". This works perfect and easy.

I made the silver decals with an silver undercoat on the car.
