Ajay Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Hi all, It's the elderly motorised Tamiya kit built mainly out of the box except for lowered suspension & Aoshima 8 spokes. Paint is Saburu World Rally Blue plus pre-thinned clear from Zero Paints. Thanks for looking. Andy
Volvoman Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Stunning build Ajay, I built one a long time ago, yours is a beauty!! Nice to see someone close to home too, I am just down the road from you!!
Erik Smith Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Sweet. Very nice work. Great paint and stance.
o-man Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 That is freaking sweet! Love the color and the wheels help set it off!
hobbybobby Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Great build, Ajay, thank you very much, this brings back memories!A friend had just one in this color and with polished, deep bedded rims, flat and hard as a board, very noisy inside, but very funny to drive!

1972coronet Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Super nice R5 Turbo , Andy ! There were a small handful of those beasts which made it stateside ; there were two in my hometown ! Were all of the Tamiya R5's the motorised version , or did they also release a detailled version ?
jeffs396 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Super nice Andy! I've got one of these in the build queue, someday...

The Creative Explorer Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 ooohh still remember seeing these on the road , almost bought a 5 turbo myself , the normal one not the wide one like this .. awsome build !! really stunning !! love it if you would have this irl like this it would be worth a fortune haha the simple 5 turbos are also pretty valuable these days I have one not the Turbo, but a GTTurbo. Same engine, different set-up, but almost as fun to drive as the Turbo. Unfortunately mine is already sitting for 6 years now. One day.... @Ajay, Like the wheels, they look a bit like Gotti's.
Silver Foxx Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Great looking build , I like the wheels and the stance.
richcrabman Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH,that's so cool.luv the euro look. My brother had one of these and the noise of the turbo and dump valve,just made me smile.
drodg Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Very nice. I drove a friend's back in the mid 80's and it was dark blue. What a fast and great handling car. It may not feel fast today but it did in 1985. Great job on the build.
surfjunke Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Beautiful, Andy! The best build I have seen of this kit! Love the finish, wheels & that stance.
