Do I want to know how? LOL! :D

The drag engine looks spectacular! What references do you use when you're plumbing and wiring?

I think that WRX kit will be the one I find to bastardize into my privateer rally car, when I get around to it... :rolleyes:

All the tyres come with molding lines on them so you want to get rid of them.
The tyres i rub over with 400 sand paper really hard to rough them up then i smooth them off in places with 600/800 paper...all done with wet n dry.
Then i use Tamiya Wax on them.

The plumbing on the engines i have a good idea of where things go from plenty of photo's and when i used to be envolved in drag racing a few years back

I was gonna ask about the tyres!!!

You use a lighter grade, I usually go 180 on my tyres, but yours look better!
It is the wax I am missing! I really need to get my hands on some!

Superb pics though Warren, and nice to see some more in the collection!
I can't finish anymore until I get this display cabinet, as they will be left outside!:mad:
I am waiting for some points to come through on the credit card, then I can go and get it!!!

It's a shame we will miss you progress over these neccessary 2 weeks Warren!
Your building speed and skills gives us a great deal to look at on this site!:(

lol, wow, that's a great idea with the tires, I'll have to give it a shot some day. :)

hehe, twins

LOL....The pit falls of digging old threads up !!!

awesome job on that subaru wrc

i remember wen tht model first came out, and i rushed 2 the shop 2 buy it, i used 3 cans of TS-50 laquer on that model, and it looked horrible, tht particular model collects dust now and is semi dissasembled, hopefully one day it will become candy apple green with white wheels.

Soak it in some CSC and start again.....to good a kit to waste mate ;)
