I'm trying to get back into the building frame of mind so hopefully I'll be able to make it. I'll pass along the details of the show as I find out more.

damn your lucky! thats like the number 1 kit ive been trying to get my hands on.

I really have been burning it up, I have not had this car 24 hours yet and look at how close I am. Tonight I am going to do all the trim, because the clear is still wet right now. Instead of the 17" BBS's I am thinking about 16" Gunmetal 5-spokes from my Tamiya R32 GTR what do you think?

DOes anyone want these?

Cleared an decaled body on the chassis

The engine looks soo good with that TMIC

This is bad pic, the paint is not grainy like that

The paint is unpolished at this point, but it is still really shiny

Up close on the motor

The interior


The left hand drive dash, and guages are availible as well.
When I lay clear, I lay it down periodically until it is realatively smooth (maybe a dozen thin coat), then when the clear is still tacky, I put it in the freezer. This brings the moisture to surface, and then you can wipe of the condensation without damaging the paint because it is frozen. The you let it sit out for a few minutes then put it in for another 15 minute. I repeat this a few times, and the I polish the car with Zymol, and a few other cleaner and polishing waxes. I am usually very happy with the outcome. Does anyone else do this? If not give it a try, see what you think, I think the results are pretty good. BTW, your freezer may have an odd odor.

Nice Work at the moment!!

Real Aluminum Down-Pipe-Back Exhaust and Muffler

THe Rubber is only done on one side, and my masking tape pulled the GT-Limited decal out of the clear on this side, so I stopped. Tonight I am gonna do the other die and the front.


The body was on crooked, in these pictures. What do you think of the skyline rims? This exhaust looks better than that plastic one. It was burnt on the tip but the carbon came of when I moved it, but I can easily throw that back on wiht a lighter for the show.

Cool! Those rims look really good, not too big, just spot on.

Thanks thats my EVO, my sis' 04 Cobra, and my dads 350z xmods in the back. I am getting pissed at this car but I am making progress. I can't find my clear parts spure, anyone have one. I am going to look for mine later tonight.

I also really love those rims!
The exhaust looks a tad oversized though...
