Ajay Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Didn't post any in progress pics of this one through sheer laziness ! & I appreciate it won't be too everybodies taste - it's the Aoshima Car Boutique Club kit with the following additions : AE101 engine from their Initial D kit C/F hood & dash Tamiya racing seat plus harness Aoshima Longchamp XR-4's with stretchwall tyres. Fujimi metal exhaust The colour is Zero pearl white although you wouldn't guess it due to the dull weather. Thanks for looking Andy Edited November 11, 2007 by Ajay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick F40 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Nice, this is probably one of my favorites in the drift world and you nailed it. The paint is flawless and the carbon fiber is perfect. I also love the wheels. It almost looks like those Yokomo Drift cars. Is the carbon fiber Scale Motorsports and what weave is it or what was its classification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Very nice build. Was wondering...Did the kit come with the hood with the vent and the side skirts? Or did you make those yourself? This is one of my favorite cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Andy, That is sweet! Pearl White, my favorite! The CF hood too me just screams power. The raw CF look really adds to the model. Thanks for sharing. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James W Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Great build up of a nice looking kit. I have a soft spot for those since I test drove a pair of them back-in-the-day. (can you say that about the 80's?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Smith Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Excellent build as usual Ajay, I will always love the ole 'eight-six'.. I spent many hours watching Initial D back when it first came out which helped in my fondness for these cars. Keep up the great work on your next build...
