LVZ2881 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 heres my leap into the world of Tuners: I have about 20 various tuner kits to eventuallt build, i figured since I had to order paint for my NASCAR build, I should start on one, and I chose this. I always liked these cars. plan is to attempt to get it to sit as low as it does in the pics. rear is already done(thanks to multiple holes for the metal axle), front will take some work. I also thought about some different wheels, but the way the fronts on this kit mount ( wheel mounts to strut using metal screw), I'm using the kit wheels, and besides, I actually like watanabe's. plan calls for tamiya pearl orange, with grey interior with orange accents. roof needed work as it appears that kit had t-tops at one point, then the tool was modified, leaving a trough in the roof.

Guest roadkill2525 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 What kind of look are you going for. Flashy? Subtle? Show? Racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVZ2881 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 bright, vibrant color, but otherwise very clean and simple, almost understated. see the S13 in this thread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choice on the wats too, they fit the nature of the car(i'd use them on everything I build but they don't quite work on some stuff..lol) Good luck with the rest of the build.

Gray Ditto Looks like it will be really nice when your done. I'm sure I have one somewhere. Didn't know how the roof was/is, I'll have to look closely when I get around 2 it...

Nick F40 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm not a real fan of the "box" MR2's but this one sounds good and those wheels are prime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
