Converting Hotwork's 1:24 Takumi AE86 Trueno..

[gtmaniac]

Hi..

At last.. cannot resist to keep the car in box untouched. Very itchy to change the parts..

Bought in Sg Wang Plaza.. RM230 (i know, got cheated..) and planned to keep it in box as collector's items, but.. may be i'll buy another one later.

Here's some pics of what I've done so far...

1. Just bought...

Nice car bro....I also have an AE86. Mine is metallic silver and i exchanged it with differnt parts.

My 86 got Subaru STi seat and using STi exhaust also....Hahaha....ply play around parts....

then thought of throwing a set of 4 pot brakes for it but cannot fit rim too small.

Hehehe....post pic later

 

[gtmaniac]

Yeah.. I should buy the std AE86 instead, for the conversion. I saw another AE86 in red too.

Planning to dig out all my previous 1:24 tamiya collection soon when back to Malaysia, to take all the parts.. especially the rims. Would like to see would it fits.. and how it looks like with FD RX-7 rims..heheh.

Is the part interchangable with other Hotworks models (especially rims?)? If yes, later would buy Nismo S-Tune Z, and put 18" under the AE86 fender.. hahahha.

Quick.. post ur pic..

Awesome! Love the big bore muffler/tailpipe & the seat..

I tried to change the bonnet to black one, but it doesn't fit nicely.. got gap. So i stick to the white one.

I've just finished converting the interior. Later I put pics..
