Default My Drift Machine

hey guys....my brother bought me a Soarer Drift Machine model for me...and I've put it together...and here are some pictures.
well...first of all...the car came in automatic I don't konw why they did that..


BUT...I did a little conversion...I took it from automatic to a manual transmission and I put the e-brake down and also added a clutch pedal to it..


and I also installed a F50 brembo front big brakes


and for some reason...they model is a V8..BUT the box said it's a 2.5 turbo...but they did give me a FMIC...and I've added something to it hope yall can figure what I've added..


and I've tooking a part from my 86 and turn it into this....pardon me for my late night painting..


and to the body...I've cut the grill out...I've cut the bumper...I've cut the side vent beside the fog lights..and I've added the front lips on there and that's a shot of primer before I paint it in my paint booth......btw .....I've put a single muffler one the Soarer...and the model orginally came with two holes in the rear bumper and I have a single muffler..so I've decide to fill in the hole in the rear bumper to make it look a little better....but I don't have a picture to the rear bumper yet...



hope yall like it...

LoL!!! that looks great! I have the same kit (the 'Drift Machine' w/Red Soarer and the Blue RPS13? on the box?)

It looks harder to put together than the real thing

I picked mine up from Hobby Link Japan... search for SOARER and it should be under an AOSHIMA listing.
