There is a full review of the kit on www.italianhorses.net

Alex obtained a set and wrote a review, worth a read and very interesting.

BTW, do you think it is worth $200?

actually, after reading the review im going to say its not even close to worth it, what is the point of all those metal engine/exhaust parts? they aren't even smooth. my exhaust looks better than that.

i think the brake disc set is fantastic as well as the acu stion sheet i already have
also, the shocks and wheel parts are sweet. basically everything except the metal engine and exhaust parts are nice.

Worth $200?

Only if the entire chassis and suspension was made out of metal too! I'd buy it even if I didn't have the Tamiya Enzo kit

Excellent parts.

But don't you think that they must've built the Tamiya kit engine, taken a mould and cast it in white metal?

Personally I think that all supplied in Tamiya's kit is fine for me.

That is exactly what they did, it's in Alex's review.

The engine is a cast made from the Tamiya engine and the rest of the parts are based off of the origional parts as well, this ensures that the parts will fit with little or no problem.

Heh, sorry to change the subject a little but while were talking about "detail kits" I might as well. The Revell Integra kit seems to be quite popular, I have one, so my question is where are the detail kits for this kit?

Hmmm, don't see the point of the white metal engine, unless its to be displayed seperately.

100% agree, and even if it is displayed separately it'd look terrible unless you did some major cleanup, like Alex said

The site had a good review of the pieces. I appreciate the honesty. I really liked the brakes and suspension bits, but the other stuff I don't think would be any significant improvement.
