here we go.
had this shell for a long time. like the car but didn't like RS version of it.
then i found these rims

this changed my mood. so i got me a "drifter".

negative camber

and the chassis to match

body work includes: cut windows. cut rear tab, lowered front tab, reshaped fenders, shaved bottom of chassis for increased clearance. cut to shit chassis. total weight 29.5 grams.
more better pics will follow

Wow! That's like a totally different car!

At first I assumed you must have stuck it on another chassis, but then I see you reworked the whole SE chassis. Nice work, you're the first one I've seen do that.

thank you, thank you.

i'm thinkig about the initial D remake. sorta like that one .
the only uncomfortable thing about those proportional rims is, there is no clearance. so i had to cut alot of plastic from bottom of the chassis.
will post more detailed pics later

Wow...I like how using the smaller wheels and lowering makes the usually dumb ass zz shells look cool. You also got the crazy negative camber look goin on. What kind of rear tires? Nice work indeed.

Fuckin A! That chassi is friggin insperational! Killer, makes me rethink the work I have been doing to my SE chassis.

Oh and the shell... I admit I love the traditional Initial D stylings pimps here have done, but your remake makes that ride look flat out bad ass! I have a feeling I will be revisiting these pics throughout the week they are so intriguing.

Yeah baby!

You are using the same size as my fronts. Was the donor car a lowrider? At least you get to drive yours, I took the Supra for a 30 second spin and was sweatin balls the whole time.

great work, the black does a good job hiding the size of the front wheel arches

thanks for noting that betty.k. that was one of bigest dilemas for me, the color. white or bright colors wouldn't work for those arches and i wanted some color + bling. so the car has 4 colors.white hood + windshield trim, gun metal roof + trunk(has crackling effect), black is rest of the car with color shifting paint(coper, red, green). NO top coat. I still wanted this car to be light weight. once i take better pics i'll post'em up here.
