yeah.. if only I had access to the OEM stuff… it's bloody rare as it is, and virtually impossible to get ova here... otherwise I would have gone down that track... I see your point..
-
how come it soo hard to get parts
ive seen soo many big power jap cars from australia/new zealand
-
I dunno… they only came out in limited numbers over here... (under the Eunos badge) compared to the US, UK and Germany, which had massive sales... I can't get any real performance stuff unless it's from the uk... (or US) so I'm pretty much stuck in a rut... unless I wanna spend $1000's just on shipping for a few parts... :-( I really did want to have one like John's http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2503780)) but I could never ever do one like that as cheaply as you guys over there… :-(

Yeeeeeeeeeah, but you're 8,000 miles closer to Japan than anyone on here and all of the cars were made in Hiroshima (hence the eternal flame on the Mazda versions). I'd wager you could get the official Mazdaspeed kit - which rules hard and I want badly for Marvin - much easier and cheaper than anyone else here.

Some new pics guys. ;-)
Now with a Modifyed R33 Skyline bodykit attached… 8 weeks work.
Going in for the transplant ;-)
one of the donor engines.
Nice dipped heads. ;-)
Starting the build. (or other doner engine) please correct me dec,.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah…. Orgasmic. ;-)
Dec is such a good boy, he even (tried) to wash it for me… lol

Bumper looks good mate, but please for the love of god, remove that Drift vinyl, it is, after all, a front wheel drive car.
-
lol… true, I'm gonna possibly totally change the appearance... go JDM style tuned.
-
Cars looking good buddy…
-
Car looks nice, just need to fit and outboard engine on the back to get around the flooding out there :wink:

Ha ha, thankfully no… I'm down the bottom of Aus, all the floods are happening up the top, though it's supposed to be 35 degree C heat here it's about 14C instead... it's weird weather...

lol I was thinking the exact same thing..
-
More teasers out there for you guys…
;-) engine enamal, with fireproof clear-coat. ;-)
You will see the final pics when it is put onto the engine. ;-)
-
Now thats f-ing awesome!
-
now thats cool that gives me an idea.
is the artwork hand painted or is it a transfer
-
It's hand painted… transfers will melt off with the high temperatures... (even with flameproof clear-coat)
I used Citadel Miniture paint, cos its much easier to paint with, is water soluable and i just painted over it with the flame proof clear.... took 4 hours all up, its a very very very labour intensive job, I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone that hasn't painted with these types of paints before...
Here's a rough photoshop of what it looks like...:
-
Where did you get the wire cover from or did you make it yourself?
-
made it myself… thought it was pretty simple... just gotta drill the holes. and track down some extra long bolts.
