Heres the exhaust!!!!! Tell me what you think of it. Heres a little comparison.










thats it for now. hopefully ill get the orange paint tomorrow, or i'll work on the rims

you should trim off that front license plate like mine..


Another thing to consider with rims, on a 180sx or rwd, awd car, you should use a rim that simulates a slightly lower offset or really low offset with a lip. In real life, only people that suck would put some 17' Tuner "mainly honda" 40+ offset rims on a 180sx.
So if you go with the TE37s, You should make a lip on them.

i was planning on puttin a lip on them. i dunno what to use. ive considered buying the peguseus sleeves or using strip styrene to make the lip. ive read tutorials on both. i think the sleeves would look alot cleaner. i have some watanabes, nismo 5 spokes that came with my drift machine r32. hmmmm

use the strips and mold em in. The front is a lil trickier, but with imagination, you should figure it out.

i just finished my first rim with a lip on it. i did it on the wheels my 180sx came with. i think it looks alright. it needs some puttying i think. i havet brought myself to cutting off the back of the rim yet. the lip i think is a little bit too big. it look sweeet tho

How about making the exhaust a lil more believeable? Suggestion. Make a regular canister muffler, and using some liquid nail, or silicone or something like that fill in the back of the muffler, and stick the pipe in, and put a lil with your finger around it. To better understand view everypage of the thread, "Fujimi Drift Machine"

to make that exhaust i used 5 different sizes of aluminum pipe and fit them into each other and thensanded them all down smooth

[86_SR5]

shoulda just gobbed some glue in the back of the pipe, then stuck your exhaust piping into it and paint when dry, and it'd look more realistic.

i agree.... i might rip it back apart now : )

ive got to find it first

[86_SR5]

heh, find it. I've lost so many model parts, like I'd sit something down right in front of me to do something else, and 1 minute later, it's gone!

[dorikingts]

i tore it apart. it looks 100 percent more real now. i used some strip styrene and well, i dont feel like explaning it. F*** it! it looks better now. ill post pics as soon as my mom gets back wich shouldnt be long

[86_SR5]

[dorikingts]
