Hey Jimmy good to see you here.




Jimmy makes the best scale engines PERIOD.

Every time I think he has done his best work, he improves on the next subject. All the good engines I have because of him. The best thing is he always looks for areas where he can improve and sometimes he goes back and makes a motor he has done before better.

Thanks guys!

There are a few copies of my engine floating around. Just like jeff said, I do like to improve on past work...the T50, and carbs got re-worked for my later builds. The 2T-G, and 20 Valve are going back in for re-work.

Hey Jimmy I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about the last batch of motors I still owe you for.

This thread makes me want to get going on all those kits I picked up in Akiba earlier this year! Every time I open the box, I dig around a little and close it. Mocking up the body on the wheels is about as far as I get!

I have a few J-nostalgics in scales smaller and larger than 1/24th...I might have to look at them again to motivate myself!

That's phenomenal! Love the old school Recaro seat pattern and the stretched tires.

Code 3 build would be cool. Otherwise IMO diecasts fall squarely in the toy thread.

Beautifully executed! Its a shame so much of the base model's detail is so toylike, as your scratchbuilt elements are brilliant.

Those are some great builds...I'm really partial to the KDR30 :twisted:

I've been busy re-mastering my 2T-G. I used the block, tranny, and carbs from the T-C I did eariler, re-worked my original head, and made a completely new timing cover.

Old (red valve cover) compared to my new one:

Wandering through the local supermarket i noticed these hotwheels....

i hadn't noticed an AE86 in them before- apologies if it's well known :oops:
Image

Here in Oz, many are hunting down the yellow XB Falcons. Saw it in a box of 10 and grabbed it for a look, and noticed the 2nd colour in 370z is in there....... haven't seen it in any other packaging yet.....
Image

Here's the white 510- pinched this pick off a fellow from another forum - i haven't seen one in the flesh yet.
