What should I do?
Well yesturday I picked up a 1:18 scale 1970 Datsun 240Z. Its all stock and I'd like to add some mods to it. For now I was thinking of: making some strut tower braces, Lowering it, getting new rims if I can figure out how to get them off, I was also thinking of converting to EFI and doing some individual throttle bodies. What do you guys think? Any input would be appreciated.

The model is amazing, I love mine. I don't think you'll be able to lower it, unless you want to completely cut up, and re glue all of the chassis. I'd probably go for a classic SCCA Racer look on it, with a 70's racing paint job on it...

Re: What should I do?
Yeah thats the one, only white. And I already lowered it
 Looks sick I think. I made some prototype strut tower braces, but I don't really like them. So far the engine is stock. What should I do to my inline six?!

Re: What should I do?
I think the six should just stay stock, unless you want to add a turbo or something...
I demand pics!!! :P

Re: What should I do?
Well I'd love to turbo it, but I don't have any toy turbos, not to mention the exhaust and intake manifolds are on the same side so it could get tricky. I'd post pics if I had a picture hosting thingy.

and as for the manifolds you could get the manifold to go under the engin and on the other side of the engin

Re: What should I do?
Hmm I don't know if i want to buy a car just for the turbos. And yeah, that would be a good idea. But I think I wanna go to EFI with some ITB. If I can make the stacks, and make the manifold.

Re: What should I do?
Nice project, I love it, I say go muscle with it, Paint it orange, get some meaty tires in the rear, and drop a V8 in with the exhaust dumping just behind the doors, would look hot IMO, or you could go Rice style, and drop a RB26 and set it up with some 18's, and a fancy paint scheme w/ carbon fibre hood, either way I'd say this car would look beautiful.

Personally, when I'm thinking of things to do with a model, I Google Image search the car... it works pretty well...

Re: What should I do?
I wasn't thinking of painting the car but then again maybe I will. My original goals for this car was to make it a nimble auto-xer. So mods like a V-8 weren't really in the cards. But now that I think about it, I'm gonna hafta mess around with a few ideas and hopefully I find something I like.
