20PSI Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Hey everyone! I'm starting a new build off. It's like every other build off but this one is all about Drag Imports. I was working on my tuner eclipse and I suddenly had the idea to turn it in a 4 bagner dragster. So I thought that doing a drag imports build off should be something great and unusual; engines, chassis, interiors are different than dragsters we are use to see. It sure takes more time to work on imports but im sure we (if people get in) can get very good results out of it. I know there's another build off going on and this is why you have 8 months to complete you model. <!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->RULES<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--> 1. It must be an imported car (Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Acura) You get the idea? 2. Must be a drag car 3. Any scale accepted 4. Must be plastic or resin 5. We want news! (Progress posts please) 6. You can do more than one model 7. I'll do another topic where you're all going to post final pictures of your projects. It will be created when i'll get enough participants. 8.

That's the yellow car in the box art with the clear plastic hood scoop, right? If so, does that chassis have the mufflers and exhaust molded in ?? I have the black 55 but I don't want all that exhaust on it and it would take a lot of work to remove it.

jhuntsman Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 count me in! not sure what i will be building yet but i will get something to get in on this!
Guest arni Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Count me in too,I have a choice of British-including a Rolls Royce!,German,Italian and Japanese cars to choose from. This really appeals to me as I love modifying kits,just one question being as I am new here.. Is it within the rules to use an old build as a base? ie for the bodyshell.

No its perfectly legit to use an old build Edited October 23, 2009 by 20PSI
20PSI Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 Hey everyone! Ill show what I did on the eclipse probably tomorrow.
jhuntsman Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 heres an update on my rsx-s. i just got the car yesterday and ive started building the frame for it. heres a couple shots.
Guest arni Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Off to a good start there. I will jump in once I decide what to build.
jhuntsman Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 got to work on the rsx quite a bit today so i started working on the back half of the chassis. got most of it mocked up and tacked in place. ill start working on the front end soon. i also found a cage and dash in one of my many parts boxes.
jhuntsman Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 im not sure what engine im gonna use yet. i might stick it together and see how it works out if not ill head to the parts boxes.
20PSI Posted October 24, 2009 Author Posted October 24, 2009 im not sure what engine im gonna use yet. i might stick it together and see how it works out if not ill head to the parts boxes. Yeah the stock acura engine is way to weak for a dragser if you don't add something to it. Like a turbo
Guest arni Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 This is something that I am doing at the mo..Mad enough to be included but no chance...LOL
Guest arni Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Weird weird..... car? HaHa LOL,take one French car,make a new body,add a Mustang V8 mid mounted and you get this....LOL
