Nice! Keep going!

So I think I have decided.. I gave the C5R wheels my best effort but still when looking at them straight ahead they look bad. The Pegasus 23’s are to big, so I will go with the Nismo’s or I guess I call them Advans. This is almost ride height, the tires will just be touching the edge of the body so it’s gonna be perfect when done right.

An other great build! Great work!

Such a nice cool build! Remember seeing this one, have you had a WIP on it? 🙂

Sweet! Need to get some of those kits then! Have been using these at my truck kits where I want more rubber!

But still manny things you can do by your self it’s just more complicated than what it used to be and you might have to buy a special tool. But atleast here in EU there is shops that carry those tools for the non professional. Most annoying thing might be the MB’s and similar where you have to tell the computer to open the brakes to replace the pads, but I guess there is a aftermarket tool that can help you with that as well.

I have an Outlander Phev 2019 with the 2,4l petrol engine and these have the CVT transmission. Since its being hybrid the CVT proabobly is the logic transmission to have in it. But its sutch a strange setup driving it. The Petrol engine revs allot, allways, and you cant feel any shifts. And the engine noise is realy akward both from inside and outside.. not much good to say about the car exept for my wife can drive to work on the battery and its the right size for us.

Nice setup! I can see that it’s lowered allot! Great work on it! Thanks! The cone filters are printed by @Ghost_33 I think he bought the files from cults 3D.

Thanks! Nice looking truck! That size on the wheels works really well. Is that “16?

Ooo! Those are nice!

Welcome and nice to se that you are sharing!

Just found out that ScaleProduction in Germany makes bridgestones which should be the same. But would still like to know if some one knows my first question 😃 https://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p2455_16--17--bridgestone.html These below might come with these, any one with the kits that can have a look? Tamiya R33 GTR Tamiya R32 GTR seems to have an other tire. Maybe this subaru and NSX? RX7 comes with nice set of Advans, any one know what size?

In what kit/Kits can these be found? I am guessing Tamiya Supra MKIV maybe?

What dou you think when seeing option 5 and 6?

Option #3 Option #4 Option #5 Option #6 need some opinions. I am leaning towards option 5, the C5R wheel with offset. what dou you guys think?

Got an idea the other day if I could use the C5R wheels if I sleeved them.. and they sudently doesn’t look to bad. And I actualy prefere these before option 3 and 4 above. Option 5:

The thread is old, and we have gotten some trucks since. We have the raptors, easy builders but still! The Meng FORD F250 and Hummer. As well as the Dodge Ram power wagon in resin. 😎 glad to hear that the Silverado is coming out soon again. I have two new in boxes still and I know a store that still carries them:-)

I have a Volvo XC90 2007 that I bought recently, it’s used and I bought it knowing I might have some issues to deal with since it was broken down with a broken coil spring when I bought it. But I know how to fix things, and thanks to the inter webs you can get allot of pointers to what the problem might be so I took the risk and bought it. It’s a great car and so far it has only cost me $100 in repairs which is really nothing. It have, since I bought it had a intermittent trouble with the drivers door. After closing the door it some times locks itself after a while, no worries I can live with that. A week ago it started to be locked when trying to close the door and acting wierd with locking and unlocking it self. After some research I found that previous Volvos had trouble with the lock it self and the lock motors wearing out so I dug in and started disassemble the door. To figure out that my car is teft proofed with protective plates and plastic. So the cutting disc came out to be able to remove the lock without removing the window assembly, took out an angle iron at the rail for the window so I could bend the lock unit out. So far so good, but the module could not be opened, so the dremel cutting disc came out again to cut the glued lid apart. After some trouble shooting I saw that the engines where good but the arm that do the locking did not go in to its both positions. Examination of the function and parts showed no wear to the parts but I cut the arme loose from where it was pressed on and then locked in place with a hit with the hammer, just to examine the parts better. I could not find any fault. After while of fiddling I thought to my self that I switch the motors around and re assemble the parts. Said and done I turned the arm to the position to where it had problem reaching and fixated it there with a hammer and a screw driver so metal fixed it in place.. and voilà! The unit worked again! Some 2k glue and the cut that I made earlier was fixed. So a bad fixation of the arm made all that trouble. Cost me nothing to fix except for time, and it was fun trying to figure out how everything went to getter and how it was suppose to function. To morrow I will call the OEM shop and ask how much they would charge for such a job. I guess since the lock can’t be changed without cutting the part is at least $500, if you don’t have to change more than just the lock unit. I know this is very common today that parts with some electronics just get replaced when they are usually quite cheap to fix. In my case free. An other of my diesel cars had trouble with the fuel management, it turned out to be moisture and some dirt that would have cost close to $450 for the part and labor. What did I want with this topic? I don’t know really, just to share som experience and maybe encourage some others to try to repair their broken electronics instead of throwing them away. And hey, they are not that complicated if you just think of what it’s suppose to do.

This one came on for sale and i could not miss it. Have gotten a liking for these.. and with the new dremel i might even build it some day

Cool build and cool idea for picking subjects! Will be great with such a start!

Sweet looking build!

Sweet build!

Great work! Grill looks really good!

A beautifull pair! Great work on both!

Sweet collor combo! I like that allot! Great build!
