dmthamade Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 2nd Porsche done, this was a real easy build. Straightforward, fit is great. Kit is molded in yellow, I prefer metallic colors on Teutonic cars. I sprayed this with Tamiya TS-42 Light metallic grey after seeing builds here in this color. Middle of a F-4 Phantom build now, have a Tamiya Mercedes after. Don
Slimguy Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 I just ordered this kit Don...I hope mine turns out half as nice as yours. Beautiful build.
dmthamade Posted April 24, 2020 Author Posted April 24, 2020 I enjoyed this build because it was so simple and well engineered. Never thought much about porsches until started working on them. Just finished doing an LS swap into a 1999 boxster, as engine swaps go, it really wasn't that bad. Don't have a lot of pics as it was fill work in between. This is the bosses car. This is the LS1 mated to a 6sp trans from a Boxster S, different from the stock trans. You can see the adapter and the front crossmember. These are from a kit, well engineered. The heads were gone through, changed the trunions on the rockers. Cam specs are for the LS3. Guesstimate of 440 hp.Will spin tires half way through 3rd. Shows drivetrain in place On layoff right now. Can get more pics when I get back. Don
Pierre_tec Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 nice Tamiya Porsche,and amazing Boxter swap, that motor its so versatile, fits everywhere!! seem a good swap now that Boxter are so cheap
beeRS Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Beautiful build on your GT3. I did this kit about 10 years ago, but it didn't come out as nice as yours. LS Boxster is very interesting. Do show more pics when you're back to work.
