Wayne Buck Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I EXTENDED THE DATE: SEPTEMBER 31 2010 YOU HAVE ALL SUMMER. PLEASE, PARTICIPATE! Well in that case, I'd like to jump in on this one. I got this off of ebay a while ago for the scooter. Won it for real cheap. I think it would look kinda cool if done the right way. Does the car have to have an import engine to qualify for the build? If so, does anyone know of any toyota supra or soarer kits with nicely detailed 1JZ-GTE or 2JZ-GTE engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85firebird Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I guess ill jump in on this since the date has been extended. I'll make a run to the store morrow to see what i can get with my coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill2525 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 If so, does anyone know of any toyota supra or soarer kits with nicely detailed 1JZ-GTE or 2JZ-GTE engines? The Tamiya Supra (JZA80) has a nice 2JZ-GTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shucky Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm still in and will participate, especially with the extended date! My GT500 build "should" be done this weekend so I can begin on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncamaro Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 what are the rules on the engines we can run? ie can i put a blown hemi in the wrx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Buck Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 what are the rules on the engines we can run? ie can i put a blown hemi in the wrx? I'm wondering this as well. If it has to be an import motor, I'm gonna have to buy a kit for one unless someone has an extra 1JZ-GTE/2JZ-GTE up for trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shucky Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 That drag RSX looks the business! Very cool idea and nice chassis work. Keep up the good work. I should have mock up pics of my entry in a few days. Going with a Tamiya GTR (R35). It will remain 4 wheel drive and have two of the biggest turbo's I have ever built pokin' through the hood! (At least thats the plan lol...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20PSI Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey guys do you think that the 55 chevy pro sportsman slicks and chassis could fit and look good on my eclipse? Do you think that the slicks can be too big for such a small car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgflatliner Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey guys do you think that the 55 chevy pro sportsman slicks and chassis could fit and look good on my eclipse? Do you think that the slicks can be too big for such a small car? if they look too ridiculously big for my mazda, then they'll be too big for the eclipse. also the oldsmobile pro stock tires are too small. i'll see if i can find out which kit i got my slicks out of..

Guys, compresins has some really nice slicks. Not too long ago they released I believe 3 addt'l sizes one of which is fairly short which should work out for smaller bodied cars. I have all of them at home and can check which is the shortest later and post size/pic comparison if you'd like.

shucky Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, here are the pics. From left to right (CRT-501 Current F/C or T/F Drag slicks, CRT-510 Late 60's Goodyear Dragster slicks, CRT-511 Pro Stock Super Stock Drag slicks). IMO the tires I think would fit perfectly under small bodied cars would be the very last on the right (CRT-511). They seem to be just perfect for what you guys are looking for. Hope these help! If anyone needs any other views let me know. FYI .. the CRT-501 (on far left) are the size of the Monogram 2 piece big drag slicks, size goes down from there.

BKIN10SECS Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Hey Shucky thanks for posting this, if you could do me one favor, could you post the height, width and the diameter of the opening for the rim on that pro stock tire...it would be greatly appreciated. And are these resin tires? Thanks Bro Edited January 31, 2010 by BKIN10SECS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shucky Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hey Shucky thanks for posting this, if you could do me one favor, could you post the height, width and the diameter of the opening for the rim on that pro stock tire...it would be greatly appreciated. And are these resin tires? Thanks Bro I measured with the digital caliper - side wall to side wall width (20.00mm / .78in), tread width (15.30mm / .60in), height (33.80mm / 1.33in), rim opening (17.80mm / .70in). Like most tires there is an inside lip, that the rim would have to slip through, this measurement is 16.6mm / .65in). This could be shaved down using a dremel to achieve the same dim. as the rim opening measurement (if necessary). The tires are all a semi soft rubber, not hard resin. Hope this helps. If you need anything else let me know. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgflatliner Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 i've been a little quiet lately in this build, but i have definitely been working on it. here's some progress: stance: engine bay: rear suspension: chassis overview: there's a lot of stuff i need to touch up still, but it will be getting more attention as time progresses, you can count on that.

diymirage Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 does a ford focus count as a import ? i mean, it looks like one underperforms out of the box like one and it appeals to the same crowd as one iether way, i dont have the drag tires on but i might be get in on this afterall (with a different car of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
