Re: Entex Mazda Rx4

yeah, I think you will get flamed for the big wheels. you need a "DUB CITY" decal on there if you run those wheels!!! hahaha

I like the car though. there is actually a REAL one at the local Pull A Part salvage here in Oklahoma City. I have been really tempted to get it and slap this spare KA24DE motor in it so I can have a sweet little reliable drifter!! ahaha

Cool wheels, I think they are a little too big, but I think you should keep them on there, its kind of fun!

Oh, and they are the same as the wheels on my RS2000:





Note the plate!

Re: Entex Mazda Rx4

This is such a rare and nice kit, you have very good paint on it.....so please DO NOT put those toy-like wheels on! (Don't get it wrong, no offense intended)

Re: Entex Mazda Rx4

I do like the wheels, but I don't like the size of them. I'm a realist when it comes to building my models though, and in reality, those rims wouldn't fit in there without building a complete tube frame and custom suspension. wait, this is the model world. let's say it HAS a tube frame, custom suspension, and it's just curbside!!! haha

I'm just playin' I like it, it has character....or caracature...hehehe

Re: Entex Mazda Rx4

Pleeeeeeeez change the wheels!!! If that was a real car the steering wouldn't turn and they'd be rubbing on the arches on every change in road surface. The rest of it looks great - wheels ridiculous - sorry if I upset you.
