I don't mind the colour itself, but not on the Miata. I think it suits the CX50. Miata should be a fun colour. Red, bright blue, yellow, British Racing Green, etc. I'll allow white, black, and silver too.

Post has been updated, added some more engine options. Datsun is pending.

One correction...there will be no Challenger. It's all Charger, either 2 door or 4 door. People can say what they want about the engines, but you have to admit this a bad ass looking sedan.

Anyone have some good sources for 3d print files for big rig detail parts? I don't want to buy parts, I want to buy files. Lowered suspensions, working steering, grilles, air cleaners, engines, battery boxes, tanks, etc. I have a couple of Peterbilt kits I've been thinking about getting onto. But they need some sprucing up. I looked around Cults, but didn't find much that grabbed me. Anyone?

SEMA starts this week. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a Hellcat swapped new Charger there.

Not sure how it works down there, but around here, the shop could have put a garage lien on the car, then after a certain time period (I think one year) the car becomes property of the lienholder, who can then do whatever he wants with it. Drive it, scrap it, sell it, whatever.

There's a thread around here somewhere. There are a few of us that modify and build our own guitars. I've done a few kits, but prefer buying Ebay wrecks, and then turning them into something special. Almost all of my guitars have been modded in some way. Usually pickups and bridge upgrades.

I like it!

Probably for the same reason that diesel trucks need over 1000lb/ft of torque. It wasn't that long ago that we could buy a 1 ton diesel truck, with half the torque, and still managed to tow massive 5th wheel campers with zero issues. Or why current trucks are so physically huge. I'm 6'6" and I cannot easily reach into the box of a new Ford Super Duty to put stuff in or get stuff out. Or why any sportscar needs wheel diameters larger than 19". As a massive lifelong Porsche nerd, I question why the GT3RS exists when the standard GT3 equals it in almost every way for $40-50k less. And to go a step further, for the majority of Porsche 911 buyers, why does the GT3 exist when the standard Carrera is already more car than they will ever use? And to go even further, why does the Carrera exist when the Boxster will be more car than most Porsche buyers will ever use? Just because.

The two door has been out since 2024. The four door is being released for 2026 model year. And the Hurricane inline 6 engines are building now, should be at dealers soon. Personally, I think the EV version is fantastic. Drives beautifully, looks great, fast, comfortable. And it's a heck of a deal right now. However, I think they should have launched the car with the gas engine. And launched with both the 2 and 4 door models at the same time. People will still moan about not having a Hemi V8. Even though the basic inline-6 has more horsepower, more torque, better fuel economy, and cleaner emissions than the 5.7L. In the trucks, it's faster than the 5.7L Hemi ever was. And the HO Hurricane 6 is a better performer than the 6.4L SRT Hemi, with more HP and torque.

I have a few things there to move. First is a Revell Datsun 240Z. I acquired this one as part of a collection. It's been started, and slightly modified. Someone with skills could turn this into something cool. Has a bunch of Clearly Scale pieces in the box (not the original box) and it appears to be mostly complete. Might need some parts. I have literally boxes of spare seats, so will grab a handful and include those. I also have a bunch of Clearly Scale engines. These are the actual built engines that were used on the CS website. So let's call them the development/prototype engines. They appear to be 1/25 scale. They are labelled as: LSX 442/454 LT4 Supercharged Corvette ZR1 (C4) Hemi 528 Procharged One of these would look pretty sweet in the 240Z above. Also have this Honda VTEC resin engine. Appears to be complete. Model Meister appears to be the caster. Also have these three Viper V10 engine/tranny combos. Whatever this engine is from the AMT 1976 Gremlin kit. Turbos from Mad Mike. Who I'm assuming is/was a resin caster. I guess this will include a transmission of some kind. Also have a handful of Mad Mike, Clearly Scale, and kit Ford engines that might become available. Have a deal pending on those right now. WIll add to this post if they become available. Anyone, will trade the Datsun, and some of the engines, or maybe all of the above for one of the following: Porsche Land Rover / Range Rover - espeically the Aoshima Range Rover Classic British subject matter - Jaguar, MG, Taxi, etc. Touring car - Tamiya BTCC Volvo or DTM Mercedes Italeri truck or trailer - prefer Volvo FH and the racing trailer Dodge pickup of some kind? Tamiya/Fujimi/Hasegawa kit? Surprise me. Airfix Shaun The Sheep Land Rover Thanks

My daughter works as a counsellor for a summer camp. Every fall, they do a haunted house experience in the woods on the grounds of the camp. It takes about 20 minutes to wander the trails and experience the various scare stations. Anyway, this year, I was voluntold that I'd be one of the scarers. So I donned my blackest outfits, put on the supplied mask, and lurked in the woods. Apparently, got a lot of comments that I was the creepiest character. Probably the only time that's a good thing at a camp for kids. I felt like I was in some Norwegian Black Metal band. Without the murders. Or the church burnings.

I think that looks awesome. Perfect colours for a 90s icon like that. I've heard this is a challenging kit to build. Yours might be the best example I've seen.
