Order came today!!!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/4165242002_0904_111306AA.jpg


I ordered this lot just under 2 weeks ago, I wasn't expecting it so soon.

To explain, there are 3 mr2 kits in order to make the TRD2000GT wide body and i thought i was best to have 3 of them becasue of the conversion work involved and test fitting etc.

The C-West Rx7 i brought is so i can build something out of the box for a change.

They screwed up with the Skyline coz i ordered the R33 to be turned into the 400r - hence the Nismo LM GT1's!!!

If anyone requires pics of contents for reference then shout out

What are the one's i ringed?
Are they both 18's ?....Pic please !!!
The arrow is the same i got on my Tommy Karia kit......i hope they have better tyres then the old shitters i got with mine

I think they're Racing Harts..

FOTW, 3 MR2?! I can only hold my hands together in anticipation for what projects you have in mind with those ;)

Chris,
Any special plans for the MR2's?
Since you have 3 there I am beginning to imagine you have something interesting planned.....
Cool set of kits though.....now we wait to see what you can create :)

Strange things going on with this post??:grey:

Anyway edited it now to include the text i wrote originally so your Q's were already answered Ray and Dan.

How could you order a GT Wing? I look every day after them, they´re always out of stock.

Thanks Chris...those AME's look really great...what do you plan to use them on??

U know what, havn't got a clue??? I certainly don't have any pimp mobiles to stick them on!:D I just ordered the wheels so i have stock to play around with, no specific plans for any of them apart form the Nismo's.

U just ain't looking (http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetails_e.asp?Bno=2958210&Typ1_c=102&Typ2_c=106&Typ3_c=852&SPage=1&SC=9&SN=Autos+Accessories&It_c=10024603&andor=0&scope=0&scope2=0&thumb=1&sortID=1&urikire=1&sort_sort=0&ItKey=&app_url=shop_right_e.asp) hard enough!!!:finger: :D

Ah you're the other lad doing a 400R. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly handy with the putty, so mine will turn out as a semi-400R.

Well, not quite seeing as they screwed my order up!

Well OK, when you get an R33 kit :)

Let me know about the C-west qualities so that i dont end up buying another POS like a AMT Viper

Well it ain't AMT for a start!:D

First impression are that its a quality kit, detail is good yet the plastic seems quite chuncky. The front is going to require a little putty work to get right but nothing too drastic.

Fly's quick review - BUY ONE!

can u get a closer pic on the "Nismo LM-GT1"?

Thanks for the C-West review - I'm planning on ordering one when I finally get my R33 Skyline done.

Awesome! Ain't it like xmas? :D

Did you open the SW20s to confirm Fujimi DID give you the Turbo, t-top versions? :o

hey..wat r u gonne use teh RG rim for? i have it and it doesn't match ne of the car i have just wondering if u have an idea of a car that will look good with eth size of it.

Dont know yet, they are a bit dissapointing, so are the WE. I guess all the 17" look a little too small but they are to scale.

Yep!

Ahh the goodies that can be bought!! It's alright for you posh buggers with c/c's !!

One thing that I don't quite understand though Chris why did you buy a GT wing when you make a damn fine one yourself?:confused:

I don't have a c/c either, i use a debit card. That way i don't end up in debt!!!:(

I only ordered the GT Wing as a comparison to my own and see what the compitition is like:D

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! - Hobby Search are sending me the missing R33 I ordered but letting me keep the R34 as a gift.:D I thought that was very noble of them, nothing like a free kit!:cool:

Chris,
That's nice of them, letting you keep it as a gift.....it was my birthday recently you know:D
So now you can develop body kits for both?

Ray

ahhhhhhhhh

all Hardtops...

no more turbo's :(

these Nismo LM-GT1 rims, where did you get them? Those look great, what size are they? I'm guessing 1/24 scale...

thanks man

Well I already have a R34 kit so that i can do the C-West/F+F2 version which will be amongst my next batch of conversions/products. However just the other day I was discussing with someone about doing the Nismo R34 so I shall most probably do that too which will look great alongside the 400r.

From Hobby Search (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/) they are the Aoshima ones' - Fujimi also make some. They appear to be 18"s.

Yeah I've only got a debit card but it's one of those 'SOLO' things which ain't used abroad:mad:

:eek: ...That is good news to hear.

wow. that's pretty decent of HLJ to do that. My birthday is coming up in 10 months. how about it eh? anyway, i can't wait until you give us some pics of your mr2. that TRD looks super sexy.....

SPAWNY GIT!!

nice batch you got there fotw! just want to add some thing regarding the C-West RX-7 since I'm working on that right now. What sucks about is that they don't include the louvered hood for it. The front air dam doesn't fit too well but workable. The side skirts are huge and look like big tables sticking out of the side so I'm sanding those down to make them look more realistic. The rear skirt is also quite "chunky" and will require some sanding to make them look more realistic. I also hate how the rear skirt covers the gas tank cover. I just stripped a poorly done mr-2 so I can work on that TRD wide body kit post some progress pics when you get yours started please? thanks :) I'm just wondering how much is shipping from england to the philippines? I'm certainly interested in all of your body kits! must be nice to get a free kit

Wow! your keen, i've not even begun it yet!!! But i'm itching to get started on this beauty!!! ;)

I agree with what you say on the RX-7 but a great kit nonetheless.

Hey Chris my thoughts were exactly the same (...wouldn't mind getting started on this beauty...)
But then when the picture finished downloading I realised there was a car in the pic as well!!:devil: ;) :D

thats a couple of sweet mister 2's you got for reference pics.

Think I like the look of the TRD kit better, good colors and nicer wing IMHO

That's a beaty alright! I'll take both car and model please :p

here's a great site that I found that has A LOT of reference pics Hope that helps! I decided to work on my mr-2 after it fell off a really high shelf and ripped the body into two pieces (which I managed to putty up already). So in 1/24 scale, that's like a fall from the 50th floor.

Great site Bri, should come in handy.;)

Wow, even better! That's a great one keep em coming!

There seems to be quite a few TRD2000 replica bodykits out there???

Do the LM-GT1 wheel looks like a 18" rim? Because aoshima and fujimi rims is kinda like 1~2" smaller. I got a 400R model in yellow,but I put the LM-GT2 .(too bad my cam is broken. I can't take pic and post it up.) Which R33 you ordered? Tamiya's R33? I made mine from fujimi because Tamiya R33 model doesn't look right. The rear is too high and not wide enough.

Have fun making it because the major mod drove me crazy.

Stay tune for my post. I will post my 400R later.

Nice order I just got done odering my stuff from hlj and then got on and saw your thread. I ordered the 3 piece wing set (I've had one before and liked it) like you and I also bought some nismo LMGT-2 (not knowing you just bought the 1's) anyways everything is fujimi except the wings. All the kits were only about 10 bucks, also I ordered the garge dioarama set casue I've never done one and I would like to try it. Heres my order list. I spent about 98.00 U.S. dollars excluding shipping and handling.
