skip665 169 Posted June 12, 2008 I would love tamiya to do a Mk2 Golf or Corrado. You could make your own with a Kamtec shell.... http://www.kamtec.co.uk/products.php?prod_cat=10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1526 Posted June 12, 2008 You could make your own with a Kamtec shell....http://www.kamtec.co.uk/products.php?prod_cat=10 Nah, no disrespect to Kamtec but that looks more like a Vauxhall Chevette than a Corrado! It would have to be Tamiya quality for me to consider it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RCH_Blackfoot 0 Posted June 19, 2008 I have a couple. 74 Plymouth Valiant Police Special 360 4bbl, 727 tranny with 8 3/4 rear and 3:23 posi spool. 68,000 original miles on this one 85 Buick Regal Grand National Clone. 377 Stroker small block Chevy, 474 flywheel HP, 395 rear wheel HP. It wasnt always this pretty. This is what she started out as. My daily driver. 98 Monte Carlo LS 3.1v6 with a 1100cfm throttle body upgrade. It has spanked many 5.0 and 4.6 Mustang GTs till the computer shuts her fuel flow off at 116mph. All the while I get 32 highway and 28 around town mpg. Now for my Babies! My 2 Puller Garden Tractors. The Red one is a slightly warmed over 14hp Kohler dynoed at 23hp. It pulls either 1st 2nd or 3rd in every pulling event, pulls in the 12-14 hp stock class. The Orange one is a slighly tweeked 16hp Kohler dynoed at 52hp. I have to run this in the Single Cylinder Modifide Class. Undefeated, even against the twin Cylinder Class that I voulenteer to pull in at every event. I have over $3500 in just the motor of this one. 2 short vids of her in action. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v280/bla...icture014-2.flv http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v280/bla...=Picture015.flv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.T. 127 Posted June 20, 2008 In my formative years, I had a 1962 Holden, Then a VERY low '67 Beetle.... I can't find any photos of, though. A boring 1993 Holden Commodore VR that's not worth photographing. A Nissan Pulsar SSS and now, my wee Frontera. I also have club raced and hill climbed an Escort snotter And a 1974 Skyline GT Also navigated fro a friend, in an Escort and a Ford Laser TX3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skip665 169 Posted June 20, 2008 If we are talking what we used to drive... When I finished college I bought a 1990 5-point-oh GT Mustang - two years later I was fed up with left hand drive so I bought a 1994 Nissan Skyline GTS25t - two years after that I imported a 1994 Mitsi Evo II from Japan.... Then I discovered motorcycling and never looked back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCH_Blackfoot 0 Posted June 20, 2008 Hotted up garden tractors... Now that is seriously cool. Thanks mate, they are a good time, for sure. Wheelie Bars on a Garden Tractor I have officially seen it all now! My life is complete! I wouldnt be caught dead on one of these little beasts without wheelie bars, not only that, but its a pulling tractor rule to have them. And the orange one needs then about 1/2-3/4 down the track.

Saito 5 Posted June 22, 2008 Currently in my fleet are: '73 VW Beetle, '84 and '85 Pontiac Fieros, '80 Ford Pinto (awaiting a 302 swap), '90 Ford 5.0 Mustang LX, '86 Chevrolet Corvette, '01 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, '99 Chevrolet Blazer. Keeping up all those cars plus the Tamiyas plus house upkeep plus a full time job, plus restoring cars for folks on the side leaves me with very little time to sleep!

Petrolhead 0 Posted June 22, 2008 As always Roop, the RS500's looking absolutely stunning. Have you got it with you now, or is it still here in the UK? Me? I race a Mk1 MR2 in a series designed just for them here in the UK. So far I've competed in 5 races, finishing no lower than 6th and getting on the podium twice, and this is my first ever season of car racing. For more info, have a quick peek at http://alexgassman.com Quick piccy - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HereBeMonsters 9 Posted June 22, 2008 Nice stuff, I almost bought a MK1 MR2, but the 205 was just that bit quicker. I'd wanted both since I was a little kid, so I'm sure I'll get one someday. Maybe a nice V6 one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
