That is one of the best looking evo's I have seen. I really like those rims and tires, and the paint is just amazing. Where did you get the tires? Same place you got the rims? Where did you get the wire for the engine and what sizes did you use? It looks perfect for the scale. Beautiful job, and goodluck at IPMS!

Sweet too sweet. How did you open the doors and hood so cleanly?

thanks people for the kind response :) wires came from just about any electronic stuff i come accross. as to hoe to open the doors, hood & trunk, there's a tutorial on this somewhere here in automotive forums :)

It`s really cool. Is it a converted RB26 from skyline? or you built it your self? btw, I think it would look better, if it will be lower

Very very nice. Engine looks great, so does just about everything else. I noticed the rear camber too. Everything else is so great, it'd just be nice if the rear wheels sat flat.

nice job crismag looks like you have the modified division nailed down! I'm planning to join the IPMS contest this coming weekend if I can finish my box stock build. Hope to see you there :)

omg cris. you just scared me away from joining the modified category for cars, given that i had no choice but to join there since the AP JGTCC skyline brakes i put on the Z-Tune puts it squarely in that category. hehehehe. excellent job, hope to see your car in person this weekend!
looks like i'll just stick to my sci-fi entry, the FAZZ. :lol:

Extremely nice work, it's a great demonstration of your skill level and talent. But why is the charge pipe connected to the middle of the side of the head?:confused:

Sweet job. I like how you "sooped" it up but still left it looking like a street car.
Q: After passing the belt harnesses through the small holes on the bucket seats and down the rear of the seats, where did you tie the harnesses to? Just curious cause I noticed you didnt add the rollover cage.

Congratulations!!! That's cool that you won man. But you never said why you connected the charge pipe to the side of the head!! LOL =) If in the future you decide to cast the engine pieces to sell, make sure you fix that!!
