Pretty minor update.
Been piecing together the front splitter and elongated ducts. Just rough styrene at this point, but shouldn't be too difficult to clean up with a bit of putty and some paint.





I picked some awesome Indy wheels from Replicarz, but unfortunately the front wheels are too small for this project. (They weren't necessarily for this project, but the Fat tires/lettering seemed pretty bold.)





I'm now thinking about ordering another set, to use the rears on all four corners. and the Fronts on something else. Like this:



Who knows. I'll probably stick with the original plan for the S2000

Love the fat tyres on the GTR. Where are those tyres and rims from? NASCAR?
They're from Replicarz. I go them on eBay.

I think they're for indy cars. Really nice for the price.

Thanks for the link! Surprised it fits the GTR rather well. I am going to check with them about the shipping.

Just the rears fit, unfortunately. I'll be ordering another set to make it work I think.

I see. I am thinking of getting the BBS style rims. two sets so I have a set of big rims and another set of smaller ones. :)

I had my eye on that set too. Pretty interesting mix. Looking forward to see what you do with them

I will buy to keep first, no idea what to do with it yet but sure something will come out in the end. Can't go wrong with BBS rims. Haha.

Here's a quick update on this one.
Got some paint on, and it's been a few weeks waiting for clear. Hopefully the weekend will be nice enough to get it taken care of.
The surfaces aren't as polished as I would have liked, but at this point, my patience is running thin.







I was able to build a smaller version of the wing, that still looks huge, but is accurate to scale. But I can;t find it. Hahaha.
Still need to source out some wheels.

i made a design for a 20 inch version of the ssr four spokes from back in the long ago, those would look ace!
but at least something that embodies the new old school style the car has
That would definitely be interesting, but not the style I'm going for on this one. Still, would love to see what you came up with.
