Great Supra!

What is that rod what you used for the exhaust??

Just a few remarks:
-I think you should lower a bit because now the ride height is a bit too high
-Some kind of more attractive breaks (drilled or sloted) would look much more better

But anyhow this is a very nice Supra

Re: Tamiya Supra Project

Thanks for all the comments! I'll have to check on the aluminum sizes later for you.

-the front is tucked the way I want, the back is a bit too high, but I kind of like it. With such a high-HP engine, it looks a little mean raised in the back. Good for the launch.

-The brakes will stay that way for now. You know, I was in a year long model building slump, and just wanted to have fun with this build. I may have detailed some things more then others, but I went along and just did what I felt like, as apposed to being critical of every single area. I wanted this model to reflect a Supra that had been heavily upgraded, but maybe not completely finished.

I'll probably pull the CF pinstripe's off. I can always add them back if I miss them.

Thanks again for your comments and criticisms. This should be the last model I build with rattle cans. Airbrush in the works.

Stay tuned, I still have to finish the engine and intercooler.

<<>>UPDATE<<>>

Completed: Intercooler and partial piping, scratch fuel rail and 02 censor on downpipe, belts (pulleys still need attention) and some misc. wiring.

Was experimenting with some screen on the front of bumper. It looks good but hides too many details. I will be pulling it off.
