Guest RCNSC Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Im sure someone on here shares the same interest I do. Model cars. I like 1:18 scale. I just got a cool Kyosho RX7 (first model in a long time) yesterday. I like it a lot. Really nicely detailed undercarriage and it has felt for carpeting! Sorry for the crap pictures, camera doesn't work well inside for some reason? Here are some with my "modified" 240Z. Self modified S2000 Hybrid Z anyone? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RCNSC Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I went diggin through the box of model car stuff. All my models were store bought 1:18 scales, so I naturally have to take some apart. I found quite a few engines..... so which swap do ya'll think would be the coolest?! BMW M5 engine? How about a BMW V12? LS1??? Viper V10 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 The BMW V12 looks cool (Far left, yes?) Maybe find some tiny little turbos to go on either side of it. I think you'll need a tiny little hammer for the firewall too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datsunlover Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I used to be into that stuf.. I just like building the real things now! I had some prety cool ones though... and Ive been looking for an S30 model.. to build as a replica of mine (75 280z) so when the day comes that I have to sell her.. or loose my licence I'll have something to remember it with!

They have them at walmart.. the model is by Revell.. If you cannot find one I can pick one up for you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RCNSC Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I tried putting that revel 240Z together and failed. Im lazy. I go for the die cast ones. I like how big they are/heavy. That RX7 has velvet throughout the car to simulate carpet! Its cool. Kyosho and AutoArt have my vote for best 1:18 model cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 The picture with the viper V10 and the datsun cracks me up, because I actually bought plastic models of the same scale to help determine if the swap was possible. I would drop in the viper engine. It made me realize that the crossmember was in the way. $30 buck saved me thousands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 who said a Viper V10 cant fit! But heres some of my collection. well to be honest this is just my Z/Datsun collection, I have alot others like full out racing audi's, and Vettes, vipers, F1 cars and etc. mostly in 1:18's but heres a few pics. most of them i built myself, like the Z ones and supra and 510 and etc. sorry about the crappy pics. and yes both Z's are turbocharged also enjoy!

Guest Chris240turbo Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Jeez Mikey, if you could build full size ones even half that nice!!! 8) sorry, couldn't resist see you this afternoon for your first "boosted" 280 drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
