I know what you mean...i was just bored w/an LS-1 based engine and on top of that...you couldnt see it. So I came up w/my own idea.

the chopping work was pretty difficult. It was hard to change a FR setup to MR.

Yes, very nice work. Seems you are really into this model car stuff. Some of the best work I have seen.

I agree! As a Ferrari fan it was like looking at a car crash, I looked out of curiosity, and cringed.:flash:

it look really great... but just thinking you put an Awersome Ferrari engin in a Revell kit.. hummmm :( :D
Geez

You ripped apart a Modena/Spider for a Revell C5-R??? Wow, that takes balls. Or you botched the Ferrari body! :D


Is that the Tamiya or Revell engine? Looks Tamiya to me... I'm working on the same kit!

It's the Tamiya Engine....The Modena was my first Tamiya Kit and I failed at it misseralbly....so I didnt want alot of the parts to just go to waste so this is what i did with the engine.

I would have put it in an ITR :D but that is just me.

Great job on the conversion.

02-24-2003, 03:56 PM
it would have never fit in an ITR....way out of scale....its a Ferrari engine...not a VTEC....lol:D
bah humbug
02-24-2003, 03:57 PM
Why don't you do a headlight conversion on a car with those Modena headlights !?

Like on an ITR. :p :D :lol2:

too late now...but the body mold it REALLY thick and would be tough to pull off...
bah humbug

You could have put it into an ITR with some MAJOR modifications.

One day I want to put an F-40 engine in an ITR.

But maybe you are right. If you put a ferrari engine in an ITR in real life, the engine would be less than two feet away from you. :p

You, would be deaf. :bloated:
