  1. Aye right, you almost got me, lol
  2. The ads are nothing to do with the forum or magazine. For that you need to talk to google (if you can get past the ai chatbot)
  3. got the rear halfs of the inner door shuts fitted, Next is redesigning the front half as it currently wont fit a dash and thats no use. i only need a couple mm extra space but that would throw everything else off. I might make up a false firewall under the dash so i can hide some reinforcing
  4. theres a book possibly called the burial brothers (thats what google says it is but the name doesn't ring a bell) that is a couple of guys driving an old hearse down through south america. i read it a lot of years ago and it was pretty good.
  5. aston martin were involved with putting turbos on mk3 capris through their tickford brand. they bring good money now.
  6. yes, it prints nice
  7. theres a 3d front suspesion that should fit these. the designer is goldenbed i think. its a mustang ii type
  8. it did but it was with duplicolour primer too and sat a couple days between paint types. i suspect it wouldn't work with hobby primers
  9. I've used duplicolour over tamiya but that was with duplicolour primer too and i gave it a day or two between coats. i havent chanced it with tamiya primer too
  10. i wonder if it would fit a vr? lol
  11. i've had my head inside the inlet for the turbos on the boat. it had 8 of them (4 massive volvo engines)
  12. parts of the above statement describe chryslers 1976 talbot avenger autobox
  13. it could be, i've never seen a mk4 jetta without the sunroof and i'm jealous but there was a series race for them i believe. it could maybe be a brazilian versio, they got different options than us, including a strange almost mk5 version.
  14. I've always thought these look more like maseratti than a mazda
  15. was it from a shop? if you select small packet for shipping that what you get. ordering 2 kits gets you a box but for 1 kit you need to ask
  16. my mk3 started life as a mulberry vr6 highline which is a kinda sought after car now but mine also had no sunroof which meant its a motorsport shell. it was the no sunroof that made me want it and i got it for a complete steal. I paid more for one borbet A (renault fitment so no need for spacers) than the entire car, lol. the vr only stayed in it for about a month before me and my friends ripped it out for the abf16v. I know where the car is now and its just not the same car now. its been sat and most of the good bits are gone. still, the vr lives on in a mk2 3 door gl
  17. the tfsi engine. it was an economy engine and never really took off. we did get sportier version of it but the 1.8t and vr6 (inc r32 etc) are the kings when it comes to tuning but the audi rs3 5 pots are fast gaining ground. i know of 2 of them running 1200 bhp and still daily driven but aftermarket management is pretty impressive now. there were rumours of an rs audi getting tfsi but they just went for turbos, however mtm in germany experimented with both on some audi s4 (by far the best audi if you want to tune it, and the base car for the rs4) in the early naughties
  18. that vette has been upgraded, its got a procharger now too
  19. you might have to take them from a pick up kit bed roll bar. i think some of the aoshima kits would be a good start point as some of them are square
  20. by themselves or by someone else? its 2 different answers but one answer is a mirror and the other would make the auto censor spit out its dummy
  21. the porsche turbo is out in a hyase sakon boxin too. from the instructions on 1999.com its an enthusiast kit for 25$s https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10304488
  22. maybe try making a jig to hold the tyres. then you can tape or bluetac the fenders to them. lego might work for building a jig
  23. i just used normal poly cement on the golf but i would use superglue usually as it can be picked off unkeyed styrene and has good hold. What is it you are fitting the fenders to? a 30 bugatti would be different to a hotrod and is it cycle fenders or full?
  24. ai summarisation - the human brain cant be trusted
  25. yes and i often have a spare body to check against along the way
