Great work on this build!

Thanks! Yes I made it with styrene and eye measure mostly. If it looks right is usually is right I appreciate the inputs! The wheels are from the Tamiya Porsche 911 GT2 kit, great kit by the way. But I wanted the wheels for this build. I might try to go for a larger rubber and se if it fits better in the wheel well. thanks Anton

Can i Get some pointers on the wheels. Are they to small do i need to go for "19? or should i try to alter the arch?

Thanks ATHU! I have been to Denmark only once, when i was a kid and went to Lego land

Thanks guys! Vietnam Vet67: Cool, nice that he is enjoying Sweden! Gothenburg is almost as far south you can come in Sweden. And I live almost as far north you can come:-)

Hi all! I am a new forum member located in north of Sweden above the arctic circle in a town named Gällivare! I have always been in to cars and been building models since the childhood. Since I have turned 32 and got my own kids I have started with models again to keep my car hobby alive. i build all type of cars but in real life I prefere American suv/ trucks and muscle cars but could se my self in a Porsche boxer as a track weapon! thanks// Anton

Thanks! yes i started out with a standard Supra and modified it with the fenders and front end.

Great build!

Hi. The Storry: I am a new forum member that have been building model cars for a loong time and then i stoped for manny years. And now i have started again ant want to finish some of my started projects. This is one of them. I started this one in 2005, it stated out as a standard Supra shown bellow. But with styreen and putty i have made my own body modifications. Wide body with side skirts and a new front end. I wanted a cage but are not any good with frame work so i bought a race supra so i could transplant the chassis to get a cleaned out interior and the cage. The chassis is made out of the stock supra front for the engine bay and the race chassis for the interior but cut so i get a normal floor where the race chassis have a bouldge for the exahust. I also used the race suspension all around. The height was off in comparisson with what i wanted, i managed to break it. I can drill and rebuild it but thinking of using the stock parts in stead. The front will be easier to build stock since all the mounting holes are there. The Vision: The vision for this build is a street Supra made to work good att the track, for track events. Thats why the stock suspension parts suits me well. The inspiration for this build can be seen bellow. I saw this in a mag back in the days and fell in love with the simple lines and paint. Remember this was the time of The fast and furios with neon paint and insane grapics. This is supose to be a Porsche 911, Corvette and BMW M3 competitor with a euro touch more than extreme flavor. Some thing i would like to have on my drive way. For the boddy: The body is rougly done, some finishing of course. The hood will have to be edited due to the vents prevents plumbing and are interfering with the cross member. A fresh hood would be nice but i have none, so i have removed the ducts and try to patch it upp for the new cutout which will be centered for letting the air passing through the radiator to vent out. I have not decided for wheels yet. I belive the front ones are to small in the weel well but they look good in the back. An option i have been thinking on is to make the wheel well more narrow in the bottom to make it look better. Some input would be nice. I also belive my skirts to be quite extreme in comparisson to my inspiration so i might make them a bit smaller/less flare. Wide boddy lines. Engine: Back then i built the Engine for singel turbo but did not have a turbo to fit to it. Last week i did order Hobby design turbos which have great quality. I will make the kit with two of them in honor to the original twin turbo layout. I also made a new intake back then. Still need a TB, fuel rail and plumbing. Where i left off. This is what i have done so fare with my changes, I made new exhaust manifolds and test fitted the turbos. Also fiddling with the frame. Since the turbos have impellers i will not put on air cleaners. This leevs a huge space in front of the weel on the LH side. that have to be made as the original frame pice. Chassis: So i bought one of the racing supras only to rob a cage and a naked interior for the car. But i Ended up cutting the original chassis behind the firewall and transplant the two into one so i could get some bennefits. But due to this the suspension got to be a hack jobb. And the racing stuf i managed to break any how. So now i have decided to use the stock suspension parts, wich makes front assembly much easier since the mounting holes are there. I need to make height adjustments from stock but dont know how much yet. But thats for when i have dicided on wheels. As it satt when i opened the box after all these years: Started with the work of putting back stock suspension. Supports for the original suspension mounting points in the back are needed. Thanks for watching and i hope you enjoy this build as i do!
