I guess I'm as impressed as anyone else with Ken Block's drifting skills and since there is already a very well done replica of his '07 car doing the '08 version seemed a good idea.
Buying Tamiya's '08 was a no-brainer and my TT-01D Drift Spec Honda Civic was losing its body to a FF-01 chassis anyway. Decals however were another matter until another TC member pointed me in the direction of the ones available on eBay. They're not an entirely faithful reproduction, nor is the vinyl quality Tamiya level but you can't fault them for the money and they certainly beat my skills with a vector drawing program and a colour printer.
Wheels are Yokomo's TE-37 Gravel, tyres are currently old slicks because I couldn't get the darn drift tyres off the other wheels I had test fitted them to.
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
First Tamiya with pre-cut arches?
