Excellent work on the engine, detail and paint. It all looks really good.

I imagine that the subway handle is a way for the driver to thumb his nose at the public transit system... sort of an "UP yours! I've got a car!" statement.

never thought of it that way but thats sounds like a perfect explanation haha!

thanks for the comments!

Looking very sharp

But what is that donut hanging at the back

Its a japanese subway handle. Its a trend in japan to attatch them to your tow hooks on street or drift cars.

Hi this is my first post to this forum, some really great models around here!

Started this kit in 2007 and finally picked the hobby back up to finish it. I scratchbuilt the engine since this kit was originally curbside. Hood is currently awaiting drying and polishing. Also made a few other modifications for realism. Hope you like it!
