1/25 scale DSM build, need some reference

[daklunk]

Nadda? Anyone havea chance to take some pics over teh weekend?

Anyway, a little progress:

These are the cam gears I made for it. They look tiny! Better to leave those for a B16 or something...


Here are the bigger, badder, better ones I made for it. Looks a lot better, fills up more space and looks more realistic. (Yes bolts are in the wrong place, I know, but these were crankshaft pulleys before I converted them)


And here are 2 problem I've run into that you guys could help me with. First of all, this is the tranny I'm modifying to look more like the real deal. The tan stuff is hobby putty. I have no idea what the space within the red box looks like, never seen it from that angle. Anybody have a pic or in the position for a pic? And in the blue box, that is where I think the left axle comes out of. If that's not it, could you tell me where?


The second problem is a clearance issue between the oil filter unit, alternator, and p/s pump. Could someone get a good close up picture of the oil filter unit, not so much of the filter itslef, but the aluminum part that directs the oil to the filter. And then could someone also measure in inches the distance between the alternator and p/s pulleys? And if someone has time to spare, how's about a shot of the pump itself and the alternator?

OK, thanks guys, Hope you're enjoyin' this little build of mine....

I'm not sure, once upon a time on here somone posted a pic of a tiny model of a 4G63. If someone has the pic still, will you post it up.

[daklunk]

That mighta been me, but I took that picture down because it was to show the turbo I had on it, but I'm no longer using that one. In a while I'll have enough progress to post up a good full engine and tranny picture, with wiring and plumbing and all that.

Say, anyone here have a Magnus Motorsports sheetmetal intake? I need to know the runner length and the thickness of the flange...

Dude, the amount of detail in your model so far is astounding.

I can only imagine when it's finished.

[Blackcrow64]

Sorry I haven't gotten any pictures yet. I had my aunts funeral and such and have been gone since last week.


I'll get you the pictures here in the next few days as I am off from work.

[daklunk]

I'm sorry to hear that, don't worry about the pictures, just when you feel like it. Family comes first, hope you're doing all right...

[Blackcrow64]

I'm doing alright now that its all past me. Just haven't been sleeping too good thats all. (It brought back a lot of memories from my grandpas funeral a month ago.) Tomorrow I'm gonna be working on my car a good bit, so I have a list of all the pictures you need and I'll try to get as many of them as I can for you.

You should make a model of a Talon exactly like mine for me. lol

[daklunk]

That's good... my aunt's funeral was hard for me... Man we miss her cookies...

Lots o' pics, eh? Yeah, that'd be great, and besides the list of stuff, if there is anything that you think maybe I should have also, snap it! Chances are that even if I don't use the subject, there will be stuff around it I can...
The pic that continues to elude me is a continuous shot of the undercarriage. You'd need a lift ofr that, but if you can hit it in sections, that'd be just fine. The rear suspension area from underneath is a trouble spot, too. LOL, just pretend you were going to embark or your own detail building odysee and you needed pictures... what would you take?

Are you going to post them in an album online or here or try and send them to me? I have dial up and there is no way many pictures will get through, but I could always give you another email address that is high spped if you want to go that route...

OK, thanks again!

[Blackcrow64]

Doesn't matter to me, I was gonna host em up on my .com for now and just list the link and you can click and choose as you need.

[daklunk]

Sounds good, thanks!

Hey all, no real updates so far, just started on the Bomex side skirts and the OEM wing. What kind of rear bumper do you guys think would go well with the Bomex front and skirts? The Bomex rear is awful looking IMHO, too awkward. I'm open for suggestions... and any other pictures

[blk_srt]

I actually kind of like the blitz rear even though its pretty cliche. The Kaminari
kit has some nice lines. http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132319 there is a whole list of them there also

[daklunk]

LOL, those are the 2 body kits that come with the kit The body comes with Blitz side skirts molded on, and then there are Blitz front and rear bumper, Kaminari bumpers, or an Invader front bumper. I think I'll be saving the Kaminari bumpers as the base for the stock bumpers when I build them I might have an extra though... Thanks for that link, here's hoping I can find one that'll flow

[daklunk]

Picture needed if you will. This one is easy. I need a few clear close ups of the hood hinges. At first I wanted to just leave the hood laying on the body, held by hood pins, but I've decided I want hinges AND pins. So if someone could get me a few pics of those hinges, that'd be great.

Here's what the sides are looking like so far. I removed the molded on Blitz skirts and am now shaping contours that are close to stock before I go and make the Bomex skirts.




I'll probably end up using the Blitz bumper, maybe with a small CF diffuser?

Somebody with a decent camera please get this man some pics, I like his shit. I would, but all I have at my disposal right now is the camera on my phone...which isn't very good.
