Nice, looks like a good kit. I like the moulded in arches and bonnet pins. Was it the Pete Brock race version originally? Wheels look good. It will be good to see progress so that I can compare to my four door version!

thanks bud. it's not the BRE version. it's the tuner. ill be replacing the hood and trunk pins with some PE pieces. i hope you enjoy it as much im enjoying your build.

had some time to work on it a bit. started cleaning the chassis a bit, and the main hoop for the roll cage. the stance and camber is what ill be going with. a bit extreme for some, but i like it.

Looking good! Wow that camber and stance are extreme indeed! I have seen some pictures on Japanese websites with that sort of stance and camber. I must admit it is a bit too extreme for me (looks a bit too much as if the car has been squashed by something very heavy to me) but as long as you like it that's what is important!

haha, yeah. i love the demon camber!
well, did a bit more tonight. didn't realize how long it takes to have to make your own parts.

Good looking engine, what colour are you going to piant this?

rollin80s

12-20-2010, 04:56 AM

thanks drift. as far as color goes, im still not to sure on what as of yet. i was thinking of goin with a Brock Racing paint scheme, but as a used and retired look.

heres a small update

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae61/trd4agcoupe/510/007.jpg

stripped the chrome off. kinda got the look im going for. just not so gray. gonna give it used look.
http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae61/trd4agcoupe/510/008.jpg

rear and front breaks from an R33 kit
http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae61/trd4agcoupe/510/009.jpg

started on the header, runner one and two. there are not that many pics of it, so i made what kinda looked like the one i saw.

re-worked the exhaust to a more subtle type
http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae61/trd4agcoupe/510/012.jpg

then this came to mind. it's like a diffuser type of thing that is used on some shakotan style cars. pretty much like an upside down wing.

so, i haven't really done a lot to it. xmas weekend was just lazy! went to sleep late and woke up late, like half the day late.
so i just did some prepping for details. like lines and fittings. the engine bay is pissing me off again. but it's coming along ok. i got the wheels to stop wiggling around so they are set. made glued the strut arms to the control arms, made a rear sway bar, seperated the tranny from the L16 for the MAII, made a collector for the header , an adaptor sandwich for the oil cooler with return line fittin on oil pan, ill be using the "race" style pan on it and just some putty filling and sanding on the chassis.

awesome progress on the model..... lovin the stance and the new engine you put in...... quick question , how did you strip the chrome off with out damaging the rim?..

rsxse240

01-03-2011, 01:00 AM

The chrome on most models will come off fairly easily with the use of most any household cleaner, brake fluid or rubbing alcohol. DO NOT MIX ANY OF THESE FLUIDS!!!! poisonous gasses or chemical reactions (explosions or spontaneous boiling) may occur and could be quite harmful to you or the surrounding area, at the very least it could make a big mess.

Just pour some cleaner in a bowl, drop your parts in, come back a few hours later, and they should be fairly well stripped.

01-03-2011, 07:23 PM

hey bud. brake fluid takes a little longer, dont know about acohol.
i use easy off oven cleaner. the one in the yellow can.

follow safety guides on can, can irritate skin and eyes.

just put the parts in a zip lock bag or plastic container with lid, spray the easy off on the parts and seal the bag/container. it takes just a minute or so. if not completely off, just keep spraying some on. you can see it come off. they you rinse with warm water and you should be good to go.

the one in the blue can should work, but if i recall it takes longer. the only thing ive heard alcohol being use, is to strip acrylic paints. but it has to be 90% alcohol. the other house hold item that works is bleach. but i dont recomend it at all.

^it worked!......i sprayed it 1 time, took some off, then i smothered it the 2nd time and put it in a jar and closed it, 20 minutes later totally stripped..... thanks for your help man.

01-13-2011, 10:36 AM

Couple of questions - what did you use for the headers, is that bent solder? And what is that you're using for some of your custom body stuff, some sort of rigid foam?

rollin80s

01-13-2011, 03:06 PM

thanks guys.
girchy, the header is solder. 1/16 diameter silver solder. the scratch building stuff is some styrene, tamiya 2 part epoxy putty (tan color) and the green stuff is putty as well. i have come to find that the tamiya putty is better for building up and the green is good for a filler. too much and it tends to shrink the plastic.

well, i have been a bit under the weather lately :( havent done much on this one, but heres a bit of an update. i painted the chassis, roll cage and front seats along with a couple of red circles. one on each side. but i had to stop there due to me running out of primer for other parts.. :headshake oh well, gives me a chance to buy some plasti-kote.

thanks guys. i appreciate the comments.
midmaz: the seat are not box stock. they came in the new aoshima wheel sets. they also come in some of the nostalgic kits.

i was hoping to have the engine in already. but, its a tight squeeze and it will most likely be completed while it sits in the bay. i didn't plan ahead and well, its too lat to turn back. so ill most likely have updates tonight.

thanks for looking.

so heres what i have been up to lately.

so last night im over at my friends house. i see out of the corner of my eye some sort of compressor. so i asked him what it was and he said its his ooooolllldddd (he's 50 yo) airbrush compressor. he was cleaning out his stuff and found it. first thing he said was "do you want it?" i was heck yeah! turned it on and it works. only down side is that it doesn't have an on/off switch. only a power plug. no biggie. so i had bought some metalizers brass last weekend, i broke out the airbrush and i gotta say, stuff is great. heres the color compared to a brass hammer i have.
