1:12 Tamiya Suzuki GSX1300R Turbo

It was finished couple of days ago but it was raining
I didn't made it exsactly like Ghost Rider, but still looks like it. Looks really mean!

Modifications:

- new exhaust collector,
- turbocharger,
- intercooler,
- airbox,
- a bit of wiring,
- minus front cowling ,
- some decals from Revell kit Shelby Cobra + tuner decals (CrazyModeler),
- minus flocking on the seat (I really like doing this, but buddy of mine said "don't dare this time!" :mrgreen: So i didn't do it...

It's all about power-to-weight ratio (2000hp per 1 ton...)

Pictures! Please enjoy!

Aha, you finished it already!? Great work Mrak, didn't get that you were doing it in the nude so to speak. Looks really aggressive.

Fantastic build!! A different one and very well done! I like the contrast between the green body and the black frame. You have done a great job on the engine I like the turbo installation.

On the other hand I miss a few wiring for the speedometer.

Hope to see soon your next build.

Roca.

Great looking model!
Your mods are excellent and the result is great.

PS: Can you steer the front wheel without hitting the pipe that connects the turbo charger to the intercooler?

Well this is a drawback, if I'm honest... You really can't steer a lot.
