did a little work to fluff up this semi-curbside engine.

The guys over at Italeri only put four lugs on the dist cap.

I have a few more things but not much since the intercooler and AC condensor covers most of the engine compartment.

Nice car! I'll follow up this one.

Thanks,

Its not looking like a simi-curbside engine anymore, Nice addition of detail.

I'm gonna need to see more of this build. Corvette's and Porsche's are my favorites.

Thanks for your kind words.

I am just going to ad A/C lines, plug wires, a sending unit wire, Evergreen strip belts, and plumb the intercooler and call it good. there is still a big empty space under what you can see, but like I said before the intercooler covers most of the engine compartment.

This is a 993 GT2 with a slightly larger intercooler, but you get the idea.

It is more than what you get in a Tamiya 911 kit. Otherwise a survey of the rest of the kit looks pretty good, I was surpirsed to see the engine cover was actaully hinged already. The only other major sortcoming that I have come across so far is there is no backs to the front seats, but some sheet stock will take car of that.

I will be posting more when I get the engine finished up: Paint the airbox, WP assm, wire it and final fit the intercooler.

Thanks, the way I see it, as if you couldn't tell, you can't have too many Porsches. :ph34r:

I can see why these Italeri kits were not that popular though. . I like the kit overall, but It's gots some issues.

FWIW the engine cover does open. You can't see much but... It is one of the best kit/plastic OOB hinges I have seen.

[Nick F40]

Ok, I know, I love this Porsche!

almost ready for the booth

SAVE THE WHALES!!

SAVE THE WHALES!!

That was a big PCA campain to save the whale tails on the 911 because they were getting away from them and had that stupid little pop up thing.

A Porsche should be a widebody and have a whale tail.

YES! I agree.

it's got an okay stance from the rear.

The front seems high and the wheels a little small. Might look better raked down.

opps. made a boo boo and had to do emergency surgery.

raked down and different wheels, let's see it!

Well the only other wheels I'd ever consider putting on a Porsche would be some BBSs.

I am not quite sure how you can put different size tires on a AWD, anyway.

I was going to suggest Fuchs but I guess that wouldn't work. 959 wheel? Paris Dakar wheel?

Fuchs: That is the factory wheel.
