  1. I have seen some great builds come from the Ross Gibson engines, but the images used for marketing which show completed parts have not been very appealing. I'm sure with a little work, they would look pretty good.
  2. I'm sure he'll plead those down and get probation. I'm curious to see what happens.
  3. The charges were dropped against Rudd
  4. This is not a harmless prank gone wrong. You're friend was an idiot.
  5. I don't know about the link I posted, but this one is not sped up Here is the from calibration
  6. http://i.imgur.com/omHN0g8.gifv
  7. The best thing that happened so far is he is representing himself. There's no way this is going to go well for him
  8. I just use dish soap and a tooth brush
  9. ScaleMotorSport.com has some really good quality stuff. They have yellow kevlar as well.
  10. I gave up looking for it. I am going to try some red primer from Scale Finishes.
  11. This would be the case with any engine, and adding forced induction, but I doubt it affects the longevity when the engine is designed to be turbocharged. Lower compression pistons, different injector duty cycles, etc. Time will tell.
  12. They have gone up in value quite a bit, definitely a collector's car at this point. The Heritage ones I have seen go for $500k+ especially with low mileage.
  13. saw this on another (non-modeling) forum, lots of nice cars http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/american-muscle/464842-my-first-ford-gt-meet.html
  14. Every which way but loose?
  15. No livery. I'm using the club sport version but with the Evo wing and slicks.
  16. The hubs. I put everything together but forgot to paint them. The I separated the hubs from the rotors. I painted the hubs, then sanded down the tops of the bolts to make them pop. Then I did a wash on the rotors to give the holes some depth. I painted the calipers, then washed them.
  17. The drill bit The holes Top pieces are from the kit, bottom are the assembled PE wing mounts Wing mockup Nice calipers I love the cooling fins
  18. Body work Removed the fuel door so I can install the quick filler PE wing pieces. I will be using the EVO wing Rivets I used the pins in the plastic piece to locate the PE piece. Then I shaved it smooth and drilled a hole for the rivets to go in after it's painted
  19. Started this one a while ago, when my son was born. he was sleeping a lot then, not so much now. I was able to get some stuff done this week. When I saw they had released this, i had to get it Lots of nice stuff in this set These Brembo calipers are awesome
  20. I ordered stuff not too long ago, no issues. I think there would be a pretty big fuss on the internet if they were going out of business.
  21. Can't argue with you there
  22. Don't be so uptight. A turbo 4 or 6 can lay the smack down on a lot of the v8s out there.
  23. It's ugly, that's for sure, but I wouldn't care what it looks like if I was driving it. 2,000 pounds. Twin turbo V8. You won't have time to notice what anything looks like.
  24. Ha, this car is pretty nuts. Twin turbo Maserati V8, it weighs 2200 lbs. Here is the Google translation EIGHT is his name . Eight cylinders, eight weeks of work and almost eight days a week! This project could not be called anything else ! Produced in partnership with Orange France , Eight incorporates many new technologies like her big sister Speed'R conducted in 2010 . This new concept is the result of a collaboration with the department Ergonomics Design and Mechanical Engineering UTBM who was able to offer its expertise in ergonomics but also bio sourced for the production of mirrors natural fiber materials.
