Yet another dragster.

Yeah, I've noticed I make alot of dragsters....but I don't think I've done a CRX yet, so here she is. You guys only get 1 photo for right now.

What I've done so far up to this point is, well, the motor...seeing as that's always what I build the car around...and I've started tubing out the front end, it's about half done. Then once that's out of the way I have the interior to deal with..not gonna be easy...then last but not least, the suspension...no comment.

Well, here's all you guys get for right now...just a little teaser.

Re: Yet another dragster.

I think my phone is the only thing really slowing me down with my models...
I want to keep up the progress photos, but they look like crap...so I slow down...
I say screw it. I'm gonna push on and post 1 good photo every now and then.
So I think I should post another one eh?
What should I take a picture of?
-Tubed out front end
-Engine
-Or the Tail?

Re: Yet another dragster.

Here's a shot of the tail-end. Some of you might have noticed that the exhaust exits out the rear of the car, and still through a muffler. Your probly thinking "It's a dragster, why not just go out the side of the car? And why the muffler?" Answer is it's a Pro-Street class, meaning it has to keep a street legal appearance.

What cars do you get them from, and where did you acquire the turbos?

2 cars, around $20 each. The engine came from a Hot Wheels Tuners Integra, and the turbos come from Muscle Machines 350Z, NSX, and Silvia.

eBay will bring up all you'll need.

Re: Yet another dragster.

Well, I have updates!
I've finished tubing out the front end, and I'm about to toss a color on the body, not really sure what color I should paint it, I'm all ears.

Now...to work on the interior. x.x

Re: Yet another dragster.

A purple 8 second CRX should be sexy, I might even riddle it with sponsor stickers, who knows.

Re: Yet another dragster.

Ok, it's done.
It's a pretty purple, and a monster 1/4 mile car.
I'll try to get a decent photo out of my stupid phone.

I think I'm gonna hold off on posting projects untill I have an actual camera again.
