In-Progress: Initial D AE86 Trueno
Just finished all my final exams and have 2 and a half week of free time. Well, might as well take out the model that I said I was gonna work on 1 year ago
I wonder if anyone remembers this ![]() Here's the new progress I've made on the front of the car so far. ![]() ![]() ![]() The one on the right is an unaltered shell for comparison. Does it looks like a Levin or what Fujimi did a pretty horrible job for the grille, headlight covers, and corner markers. More pics later, thanks for looking

Re: In-Progress: Initial D AE86 Trueno
not only mrceej will be telling you how awesome it is. great work, it looks much better now with more of a wedge. it will be interesting to see how your engine detail turns out. we need more people making model 4ages dammit.

Re: In-Progress: Initial D AE86 Trueno
I'm here. And I'm telling you how awesome it is!!
Seriously though, good stuff. I'm currently working on a new engine set up for the corolla, possibly a transkit for the future. What did you use for the valve cover? Looks like it's going to be 20valve no?

Re: In-Progress: Initial D AE86 Trueno
Maybe that's why it looks familiar, 2JZ valve cover cut down to be a 4 banger? If it is, that was a good idea to replicate an accurate valve cover.

The valve cover is just a section of a CLK-GTR's engine cover. I'll putty it up later to look like a 20valve, hopefully as good as mrceej's one.
Today's progress involve the underbody. The rear axle is extended so both sides are the same and the gas tank is altered. ![]() ![]() Also did some work on the front strut towers. ![]() More tomorrow. |

Re: In-Progress: Initial D AE86 Trueno
Looking good so far man!! As for mine, I haven't updated the thread but I ended up cutting the stock wheel wells. It didn't give the amount of clearance I needed for the engine. I like how you did the strut towers though. Nice touch. At this rate, you will definitely beat me to the finish!! LOL
