Had some time to try to polish the EVO6 today. Not sure why, but this one had more orange peel than the rest. Maybe I should have started wet sanding with 2000 grit instead of 2500. Oh well, it's decent enough. I'll get around to waxing it and finish building it....eventually. lol

Lowered the EVO6. BUT, looks like I can't use the wheels I got for it (Work CR2P). Offset is too aggressive. I know it's sacrilegious, but looks like I'll have to use the Nismo wheels from the R32 kit. I actually like the white, so maybe I'll just throw on some clear over it.

I also gotta figure out why there is so much toe out in the rear.

Kaotic Lazagna · 10-18-2021, 09:45 PM

Might be able to get these 18" AVS Model 5 wheels to work as well. Their offset will be in between the Nismo and the Works. Since I'll be placing the EVO with the Chaser and Crown (lumping the sedans together in the display case), the AVS wheels might make it look more in place. Yes, yes, I know, the EVO isn't a VIP build/car.

What do you guys think?

Split spokes have always looked good to me

That E-Brake is bugging the hell outta me.

For those that liked to order their Tamiya products from Hobby Search (Japan), they pulled all Tamiya products out and will no longer sell Tamiya.

What is it?

Nevermind... Bottom left

Kaotic Lazagna · 11-21-2021, 07:27 PM

Well, I did lower it a tad bit too much. Wheels will not roll anymore, and doubt I can turn the wheels left or right very much. Also don't mind that it's dirty. Just had enough time to actually finish it off. I also got lazy with painting the trim as I didn't mask anything off. LOL.
