awsome rims work well with the car!

[ElRxBandito]

Yeah, the rims are great, but as I look at the car, I notice that the headlights would look awesome with some small eyelids. Anyone disagree?

Ahhhh, makes me want to revive my R33 I built years ago that now just sits in primer mode and in peices. I 1/2 attempted the rebuild last year but lost interest. Keep up the good work, looking great so far.

[ElRxBandito]

Well, I started building the motor, so far I have a valve cover, and the turbos.
Here's the snaps.

The valve cover came from a 1/18 Civic, all I had to do to make it fit was cut the wiring harness and glue, then to sand smooth and paint.


The Turbos are made from solder, gotta love the many uses of solder.

[ElRxBandito]

Alright, I made a custom Intake Manifold and T/B, painted it with the rear end and intercooler shown below.



And I also painted my valve cover and seats together.

lookin good so far!

Here's some pictures I took from Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3.
I got bored so I built my R33 and decked it to the max.
Below is a snap of it hitting 204, with some room to push.

(you can see it's sitting at about 8200 rpms, and it reds at 9500)


And here's a snap of the quarter mile time, an outrageous 9.14.

Thats awesome progress. Nice R33 in Tokyo Extreme Racer 3, i never got to pass that game since the disk came with an error

[ElRxBandito]

Here's the headers I just threw together,
just need to trim, paint, then attach the turbos.

[ElRxBandito]

Trimmed the headers, now I just need to find something to make the block out of, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

[SupaMan89T]

BWHAHAHAAAHHAHA nice shot of your r33 in the game my mk3 supra will smoke you! awsome work on the other stuff!

[ElRxBandito]

Heh, a Supra cant touch my Celica GT Four, motor swaped, sitting 727 hp at 72psi, quarter is 9 flat, top speed is 223mph :P.
Thanks for the input, really helps.

[ElRxBandito]

Alright, the chassis, is all painted and I got my muffler made, now I just need thicker solder, and I'm going to buy the Initial D R32 and use the block, and possibly the hood.
P.S I just got my hands on some Bridgestone Expida Tires to wrap my 17" STi Wheels.

[skypie]

Are you Putting A Honda Engine in there? O_o
Hehe Rollbars are best made in soldered wires
Car looks badass!

[ElRxBandito]

No, that's just a valve cover from a 1/18 that I made into a Nissan Valve cover, but I got a better valve cover and intake manifold, and I also got my block, so I'll take pictures soon as I clean it up and paint it. so about 15 minutes from now.
