Mazda MX5 driftcar


Lowlife ! !

Recommended Posts

 

My son is mad on these cars, and drifting, so i bought him drift lessons in one !

Thought for xmas id build him a replica of him drifting , with a little base to go with it...

Started with the Tamiya Eunos Roadster kit, because it came with a hard top.

The suspension was lent over on one side, and the front wheels fitted on full lock to simulate sliding...

Driver is a Scalextric figure, cut about so he could hold the wheel, and look in the right direction !

Smoke is just cotton wool with ground up pepper !

I just got it finished in time, and he loved it !! 

Thanks for looking....

Oh ya Martin, that is super cool. Awesome idea. Building for friends, relatives, or loved ones is very rewarding. I’ve done builds for my dad, mom, and daughter, definitely some of my favourite projects. The “smoke” looks the part, and pepper for rubber flying is brilliant.

Cheers, Steve
