dont transplant the engine

if i dont, i won't have an engine for this car XD

THat engine is way too big too put in that car , if it were up to me I wouldn't do it .
But then again it's a challenge but you have to take a few bits off to make it fit don't you ??
What is that engine from????

The first thing he said. :)

Sorry , ddn't read it first, my bad! lol

If I'm not right, then the Muscle Machines models are larger in scale than others. My RSX is huge in every way. You either need to find a big shoehorn or you might have to make some new panels...

That engine is way too big. Are you sure they are the same scale?

Yeah, even though muscle machine models are 1:18 scales, they're a bit bigger compared to stock models. You can try sanding the sides a bit, but that catepillar turbo will be in the way when you close the hood. LoL

What scale is that 350z and what scale is the muscle machine? If you have a 1/24 scale engine and 350z, im sure you can find some plastic model car turbos which would replace those super bulky turbos and tubing thats on that muscle machine engines.

oh god...they are the same scale...

but the muscle machine nacrs are way too big when compare with the rest! :shakehead

why dont you just cut off the pipes for the turbo put the engine in and make tubing that actually fits in the car.

^ now theres an idea.

yeah. i've started that. i already cut the pipes off. i might leave it as a single turbo instead. i also installed a jdm license plate and some new mirrors.

Nice!

and the engine only looked big in the first picture because of the way i placed it and took teh picture XD

I see you chopped up that Z real good, I've done the same thing to many a MM cars, and as for scale, MM's are more of a 1/16-17th, so they're a little bigger, but as for the transplant, it's cake, just don't use the MM piping, make your own out of styrene, everything else is a perfect fit.

keep trying dont lose faith theres allways a hope just keep in mind tht when u finish ull have a unique car + were did u get the engine from

It came from a muscle machines 350Z( if you read it it would say)

ROFL. dude, that's hilarious. i actually took everything apart and now i dont even know where all the screws go. so i just screwed the bottom back on and i taped up the entire car. XD
