508boricua Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Hey guy's. Heres my Rocket Bunny kit from Aoshima. It was a curbside so i motorized it with a inline 2JZ Supra motor from the Tamiya supra kit. Single turbo set up, flocked interior and trunk. Added a nitrous bottle and battery in trunk. Made the wheels by using Hasegawa centers, Fujimi lip's (barrels) and Aoshima stretched tires. Sprayed in Tamiya's new TS-85 Ferrari bright mica red. Hope you guy's like it.
peter31a Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Very cool! Love these Rocket Bunnies. The tow vehicle is pretty cool too.
Austin T Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Very sharp. I recently got a Tamiya Supra with the 2JZ and was thinking about doing the same thing with my Aoshima kit. Any thing to look out for when dropping the engine in?

A little dremmel cutting here and there and it'll fit just fine. You can even position it to match the factory drive shaft the kit comes with.

508boricua Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 looks really good. what/how did you do the turbo? Thanks Rob. Honestly i cant remember what i got the turbo out of but it was in my parts bin. It has the wastegate attached. But if your looking for turbos look up modelmeister on ebay.
