exesivefire Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 worked on a rear diffuser for a bit this morning, need to add the veins still, but I think this should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 That is shaping up beautifully. I think you need to change the name though. With some nice paint this will be a high quality track day car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 got more completed on the rear diffuser, going to let it dry up and then finish sand it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exesivefire Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think I'm just going to do a nascar style spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unatural Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Great job on the intake and turbo. What sizes of styrene did you use to make the intake? That's exactly what I want to build for my 1:1 car, and I'm going to make one for my 1/25 scale too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Honestly not sure, just grabbed stuff and went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 more shaping on the rear diffuser I was at Drugmart and spotted a 99 cobra kit for pretty cheap.. picked it up thinking what the heck, lets see how that IRS mounts up.. So I "could" make this work pretty easy, however its a bit more work than I anticipated. The track width is a little wider than I was hoping. The easy thing to do would be change the wheels, but that is not an option to me. I could narrow the mounting point on the wheel and the axle, but im worried about where the rear arms need to mount.. I'll stare at it a bit and decide if its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Seems to all be in scale at least as the irs setup is wider than a fox rear end. Make a wicked track car if you could do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I messed with it a while, got it close. But it's so fiddley the way they made the rear in that kit it's very hard to mock up. Taking the night off and I'll come back at it tomorrow. I need to think of how to beef it up so it stays together over time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Jon Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Looking good Andy! To strengthen parts, I often will use a trick, of using ultra-thin CA glue, only a drop via toothpick at a time, placed so the CA flows along & over the area desired (only) It dries quickly, allowing a few layers to be added, then lightly sand & primer That I often use this to build up more fragile parts Edited September 19, 2014 by Jeremy Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanyb505 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Is it too late to widen the rear fenders to fit the tires? Dominator style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 If I have too, I will.. But I don't want half the wheel well Un occupied either. I think I have an idea I want to try tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 getting close enough I think I can make it work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exesivefire Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm pretty sure I can make it work. The Tricky part was figuring out what I could assemble before paint and keep it sturdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 little work on the throttle body to make it more LS like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 started getting the turbo mounted, took the fox kit headers, modified those to the ls spacing on the heads (really close) flipped them around and went to town. I had to remove the AC compressor to fit it, but who needs that in a track car anyway? laid everything in the engine bay to check fitment.
