dadaman Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Hey guys. Its been quite some times since I posted a build here. Well this is my first for 2014 that I completed. The transkit I got from Eightyone and the BRZ was found at a local LHS. I wasnt sure where this project would take me but I knew i wanted to put my all into it. Although the transkit is meant for an Aoshima kit, a few minor mods were needed to make it fit the Tamiya. Few issues that came up for me: When dropping the motor in I didnt test fit the hood again so it doesnt fit right and motor isnt centers as turbos are a bit big. list of mods: Eightyone rocket bunny kit chromed wheels custom green paint job carbon diffuser and lip Kiwami tyres added instead of ones provided racing seats added with Kevlar backing racing hardness and bar black flocking Kevlar door inserts carbon trim on the dash 2jz motor from tamiya supra carbon tappet cover twin turbo set up with custom manifold braided lines added scratch build dumpvalve and intake lowered suspension

cobraman Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Wow, I wasn't ready for that. That thing is sweet !
hotrod59f100 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 A notethat side shot with the rocket bunny kit makes it look like a new version of the supra
Chris White Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 now that's some shiny paint, very nice detail work
Silver Foxx Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Looks great , a lot of real nice work in this , like the colour .
Belugawrx Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Well done!! Sweet looking car!! Beauty paint!!! Thank you for not canting the wheels at a ridiculous angle!!!! Cheers
peter31a Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Wow! That is a beautiful build. A lot of detailing and hard work there. Kudos!
shucky Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Hands down the nicest example of that kit and conversion I've ever seen. Awesome job!
Austin T Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Beautifully executed. I have a stock Tamiya kit and the Aoshima rocket bunny Ver.1 kit that I plan to build to display next to one another, hopefully mine can come out half as good as yours.
Cobrawannabe Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm flabbergasted, this build is a work of art. You've really made me fall in love with an example of a car I'm not particularly fond of at all, and that takes a lot of doing.
Dragline Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 DAYUM!!!!!!!!! I was not expecting that at all.... Superb color and finish. Bob
dadaman Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks for all the responses! really happy with the outcome even though there are a few probs lol .
plastikjunkie2 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 nice build, I really want one of these kits but just cant bring myself to pick one up.. what wheels are they?..
plastikjunkie2 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 sorry I didn't see the list of mods next to the first pic lol
