[LA-CUSTOMS]

thanks for your opinions mike, i admit i was looking at it last night and the kit is a bit wide, in my opinon it looks really good at the front, nice and evil !! what would you do to make it look better ?

LA do You know that the vw golf I with a 1.8t engine in your Avatar is from Poland? I like You from now on

[nosliw2004]

so it looks like no ferrari bumper? and i don't know if you have any plans for the engine but a suggestion would be to maybe put in two motors if it's possible. since you made the actul car wider by splitting it down the middle there might be enough room for two four cylinder engines maybe?

thats a really good idea, i think i might put the ferrari bumper on you know i dont lyk the way the origonal 1 is working out, an i need change the kit on it anyway, i was thinkin of putting too engines in it but then i was thinkin off putting workin stereo in it aswel or jus loads of subs, but if i put 2 engines in it i cud make a fire wall 'n' everyfin that could be good what do you recon ?

[LA-CUSTOMS]

were can i get some engines from ?

[rasta_dubbed]

looking good... i hope someday i can do those fiber casting.. like u did on that VW.

[LA-CUSTOMS]

you will be able to, i used to jus get old bootlids off cars weld a plate in them and fiberglass them too make them really smooth, i started off pretty crap but i got better you should try it, jus get a piece of sheet metal put a gully type thing in it like a dip, and try to fill it in so it looks like there was never a dip in the metal after a few times of doing it u wont even need to sand down the fiberglass much.

wow this project is goin really fast!

[nosliw2004]

i would say you can just get engines off of other cars. but when you go out and buy other cars or get parts from scrap cars in you collection you should get engines that are actully blocks, unlike some of maisto's engines which they are plates. i currently can't think of any cheap small engines that you can get but by looking at my collection you could buy 2 of maisto's mercedes-benz ml55 because that particular maisto's engine isn't actully a plate.
if your interested in the specs it is:
cylinders V8
displacement 5439
horsepower 342
torque 387
and it's normally aspirated.

now looking back at the ferrari front end, you could've left the hood long and then put the bumper infront of it like you did in the test photos and you could've put the ferrari headlights in as well. then on the front fenders you could mold it around the side of the front bumper. just a suggestion.

hey guys!!, thanks for the feed back, i like your new sig quick nickthanks for that nosliw2004 its a really good idea but i think im goin to make a new front bumper, a custom 1 if that doesnt work il do the ferrari front end, the only problem is theres no end on the bonnet anymore ! i was thinking of 2 turbo engines, dose anyone know anywere websites or anything were i could get some ? what happend to erlXbandito ?
