Probably looks cool to see the minivan drift.

Finally finished my Tamiya RX-7 kit. Hopups and full LED kit. Still waiting for the new wheels. I kind of want to get another one and make it a shelf queen.





How did you paint the side mirrors and spoiler? Did you use the same paint as the body?

Used acrylic paint and brushed it on. I can see the brush lines. Probably going to use spray next time.

Hey guys i have a love 4 old cars and drifting. i decided to rebuild my racing Schumacher mi2 to drift specs. after that i needed a sic looking body so i purchased a 1968 camaro ss. then i had the challenge of trying to figure out how i would paint it. i consulted my dad and told him tha situation he said these crazy blokes drifting around corners need a police to round them up, lol. soo this is what i came up with. its still in progress. plus im building a light flasher so its flashes super bright red and blue led's. it was a mission trying to perfectly mask it all up. its gonna look exactly like the real thing!

Put some Speedway Pal D9's on them you can get the wide offset for the rear and the smaller offset for the front.

dude you should get a pair of wider ones for the rear for the real effect! actually now that i think about it you could just cut the abs or pvc bugger than the rim and make it wider for the rear...
