kruleworld Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 This car replicates the one seen in Fast & Furious 3. the protagonist looses his car and is left with a mustang without an engine and a wrecked Silvia, so they combine them into a working drift car. i actually built this car ages ago from AMT's F&F3 kit, but i put the hood too near the lamp and it melted (warped). i never finished it, but i got as far as starting some new rims of correct style (at least, closer than was was supplied in the box) with limited success. i see now that the paint has cracked/crazed and will need to be repainted anyway, so maybe start again.
kruleworld Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 I found another hood, so i filled in the vents stripped the paint after a couple days in brake fluid. unfortunately i lost one door scoop (RHS) . i hope i've got one in my spares box. (it's not in the fluid, so i think it might have fell off while i was washing it, so down the drain, literally). the pillar scoops came off in my hands.
martinfan5 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I am going to have to watch Drift again, I barley remember the mustang

moparmagiclives Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) RB26DETT ( twin turbo) from an R32 Skyline, can you find a Silvia to rob the power train? Edited March 3, 2012 by moparmagiclives
kruleworld Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 The kit comes with a nissan engine. But i do need a RHS door scoop if anyone has one
Chris guthro Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 as much as i hate the idea of a nissan in any muscle car, it looks good!

southernboy Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I did one of these. You'rs looks like it's coming along nicely.
Chris M Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Is this the same as the shelby gt 350 kit? If so I may have the vent. PM me. Edited March 5, 2012 by Chris M
DANB Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I was under the impression it was single turbo, the motor was pulled from the S15 that Luda said had a "bigger turbo" lol.
