Project: "Street Terror!" RHD converted ITR turbo w/ supercharger!!

[Mean_B16]

Just what everybody needed to see, another ITR thread!!!
What can I say, I just love this car and kit. I am not sure how I will do the supercharger yet but the turbo is already in the works, since I have never seen a RHD conversion the right way, I feel like attempting my own. as you can see in the pics I switched positions of the battery and the clutch and brake m.cylinders. I am going for a lot of detail in the engine bay also including engine mounts and other parts left off the original. and since I have never attempted scissor doors or even opening doors for that matter I will be trying it on this kit. I am building this out of the Revell ITR spare parts box I have left over from the prior 8 kits I have purchased. I am not sure on the final look yet but I will be doing a body kit a drag style wing all painted red. other than that I do not know how this will turn out......hope you enjoy.


I promise I will get better pics soon, sorry so blurry

Yeah i know who you are talking about (I can't remember his name though). I just built a Lightning also but I love how the SC is setup on it and I do not think I can bring my self to use it. Besides, I think I can build one with enough reference pics, I am currently thinking of ways to replicate the "fins" the supercharger has on it. I think if I can figure that out then I can build one pretty easy after that.

I just found this, this will be a good reference.

Its looking great so far! The doors look pretty good. The turbo charger looks good too.

Didnt you attempt a RHD conversion on your del Sol about 8months ago?

Not quite, I actuallly concerted a RHD dash to LHD on the delsol, this time is alot different and pretty involved.

nice not bad, tell me the doors will work?

[mike@af]

Have you already done the RHD conversion? In the pictures I cant tell if:
A) thats a dash from another kit
B) You just flipped the picture
C) You have already completed the operation

If thats the modified dash in the pictures, you did a hell of a job. I never would have guessed you had already modified it, looks factory built.

looks damn good man! in a bit, im sure b4 u get to that part, i am building hinges for lambo doors! i can send u a set if u would like! might be a bit tho. after that i plan to cast them and sell! awesome work so far and good luck on the sc!

That's the Fujimi ITR RHD dash isn't it Mean? I did this already, however, I didn't move the battery, clutch and brake stuff, because not too many people would know anyway. Mines Ford racing blue (baby in color) gloss black hood, HB Civic wheels (thanks antonio) with a turbo the size of the tranny...can you say llllaaaaagggggg?

[rx7king]

your the man, this is gonna be sweet, although i never understood why you would do the rhd conversion on the usdm ITR if it has the usdm headlights? :skrewy:

008 heads Scale Speedworks. He makes the turbo and supercharger kits. His site says that superchargers are made upon request so you might want to ask.

Here's the site.
