Dan Juday Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Remember, per JTR, you're going to have to angle mill those ram's horns manifolds to clear the steering shaft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Man. You're not going to stick with the stock ram's horns exhaust manifolds? You'll lose a ton of breathing when you port the heads and add a bigger cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Dont forget your going to have to replace that coil with an HEI unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM_0381 Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 Tada! Im taking a wild guess in thinking the stock color on the trans is blue.. oh well, it looks good I think. For some wierd reason, the kit didnt include the coil, plug wires, and most wierd.. alternator mount. The alternator just floats in midair under the mysterious rigidness of the belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 It's amazing how fast an "economically affordable" Hybrid can be built! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 ROTFL!! Are you going to use the Vette's wheels or go for some lowered Honda kit's wheels? I had over 30 models in boxes, built, etc when I was a kid. I ALWAYS made hybrids, period. My favorite was a Dodge Ramcharger 4x4 that had a blown 426 Hemi under the hood--big hole for the blower and scoop to fit thru. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 you can get the Integra Type R model, it comes with like 3 sets of nice rims.. i was gonna use them from my kit, but i duno.. Maybe. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest livewire23 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 dont forget that you'll need an R200 for the swap. and while you're at it, why not put a blower on it? "1999 Rodeo LSE (prelude killer)" Prelude killer eh? good thing you're out in florida! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z-rific Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Man, i can't believe how much the prices of plastic models has raised in the last 20 years. When I was a kid, they were like $3.99. $20-25 for a plastic model! At least they are that much at local hobby stores. Get one online for 12-15$ and still have to pay $5 for shipping. Has the cost of living gone up 500% in 20 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 im telling ya, i havent lost yet in a the rodeo against a prelude.. SI or whatever. from rolls and stops. dont matter. well the real prelude killer is my friends 1999 Altima, no where neear stock.. fast too 12.9 sec car, maybe faster if we had better tires. But the rodeo isnt too far off. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redruM_0381 Posted December 14, 2002 Author Share Posted December 14, 2002 Originally posted by Sumo:by the way redrum, they have anymore 240Z kits left? Yes they did.. quite a few I think. $12.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 I may have to order one here They dont carry it. By the way my model is smaller than yours (1/32) so technically it has no engine. Unless i can rip off the Warp nacelles of my brothers starship Enterprise model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
