That car looks nice but I don't like the TC wheels on it. Makes it look like a Hot Wheels car. I would put some nice mini Panasport looking wheels on it.
Nice Capri Faster. My very first car, I had a Escort Mexico Mk1 that was done up for Auto Cross! I also had a mint 76 Toyota Corolla SR5 coupe. I wish I had both cars still! The tranny in the Escort was a POS!

I have one of those O.S. Wankel's, I was talking to a machinist I know to do what you did there with the two rotors but it seems he did not want the task can you help me and does it work, I saw one on YouTube is this it?

I already tried them on, the rears stick out to much but the cup racer one fit perfect waiting on a extra set to come in satin color 0mm off set in ft and 3mm in the rear I'll post updated pix.
I know what you mean Tony13B. In some cases you just can't do it unless you have the kind of machinery to be able to work at this scale, but it can be done. If you can tell I'm having a little trouble when the motor is idling on the video. I'm thinking of using a single carb rather than using a twin carb set up. I think it's because of the twin carbs that it's running a little too rich while idling. Machinist that are willing to do the job of milling or grinding the pieces is hard to find.

I too love this body and old school imports.. isn't the Sunny a 210 in US speak? Wish I could have a 210 or a 510 in 1:1. Anyway nice paint on this and x2 on the mini size wheels. I wish that that body didn't cost so much, to me it's hard to justify $40+ for a body. The extra $20 can go for other parts...

So here is a question,

yeah it is, brushed though.
i think the atomic vmII is the car to beat in this class.

Why the :roll: ?
The rolleyes guy was because I was trying to give away batteries and wasn't intending to get into a full-blown Save the Planet discussion. I do more than my part and am teaching my children the same-- tyvm.

You should get some video. Sounds like a fun class. :D
Here's a project that has been sitting on the bench. I wanted to merge an M03 chassis with a midnight pumpkin shell. Kinda looking for a hotrod truck.
Here's my progress so far:
Got a kit of an ABC Hobby 1/12 car some time ago. The black bag was typical for their kit´s and could be used as a race bag afterwards. Unfortunately this is another incomplete kit as most of my cars lately. Beside the body and tires it seems at...
