Behind you and the bench

I think your problem is the 40 doesn't really have the wheels centred even when stock, so lowering it only emphasises the distortion. heres a couple of stock side views where you can see by the tyres that they aren't centred. they aren't far off but at stock height its much less noticable.

when you get to it, take care with the passenger side arches. i had to remove and fit them again. you need to remove all traces of the original arch molding on the rear arches or they wont fit flush. i missed a tiny piece of them and thus had to redo them. the front arches i found fit over the stock arch molding and fit well so i'll grind them away once i have tyres for the wheels. the front bumper is a half mm wider than the kit front so it needs the lower sides of the body pulled out a fraction. and the front lower edge of the rear arches doesn't sit flush with the body but once the side skirts are on its wont be seen anyway. its not that things dont fit, just they need some fine tuning. the hood will need some shping to fit so what i did was get it softened with hot water them taped it between the 2 hoods from the kit. i got it close but it still needs a little more curve at the front and flattened a little in the middle. I might cut one of the kit hoods into underhood support to help keep its shape but before that i need to move the engine back 6 mm.

A great scottish movie to watch if you appreciate dark hunour is one day removals. Its a bit sweary but very funny. the full movie is available on youtube. some of it was filmed outside my old home in aberdeen. it is very sweary so not suitable for non scottish kids, lol

Looking for cordless hobby drills
stitchdup replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I know you asked for cordless but since you already have a pin vice heres another option that is very cheap. This is a fingernail polisher that comes with a small set of polishing pads and half a dozen tools for cleaning under fingernail tips. But if your pin vice is tamiya you can swap the collet over to this. it also fits the small shaft dremel tools. its got a speed adjuster and there are battery versions available too but i dont have experience with them. i use this instead of a dremel at work as its a handy travel size tool. The best bit is this costs well under a tenner delivered and its still working 3 years later -
Going to use one of texas 3d's magnuson supercharged Ls engines and the smaller rims. I'm using a larger set of wheels for mock ups so it will sit lower once complete. the front seats will be from a revell ferrari as the trim is a pretty good match for the bird. the front wheel tubs will be getting new tops and i'll fabricate a cover for the rad with the stock hood so i can keep the ridge detail and have something that you might see from the roadster shop. not sure about colour yet but the wheel arches, skirts and splitters will be in carbon

I've got a file for an m3 6 cylinder i'm going to be printing once i get the printer to work. I dont know how much detail the hasegawa kit has but the pics on uscp should give you a good idea whats there or 1999.com/eng will have pice of the kitcontents and insrtuctions. there is another option if you dont mind mixing scales. revell usa did the next model after the 2002 in 1/25 scale in both road and rally versions which might work for you. they should be pretty close size wise and it might be cheaper than the uscp parts but not as detailed. it might be worth having a look on spot model or scale production to see what they have too.
