- Project AE86 Drift Car -

[Faze.]

I have finished most of the body work. All that is left is more sanding and filling. The car will be pink once it is painted. I ran out of primer, so I used some of the pink paint incase you were wondering why only parts of the car were painted. (The lip is from the new drift style Trueno autoscales. I'm mad that kyosho came out with those after I started my project haha).

Here are the progress pictures up until today: Please comment!

[supraboi97]

Wow thats looking great. The stance on that is perfect. Just wondering what kind of wheels are those?

[Faze.]

Thanks alot okoye and SPR!!! Some people are skeptical about the color, but it's a drift car, it can be whatever color it wants haha!

Wow thats looking great. The stance on that is perfect. Just wondering what kind of wheels are those?

Thanks! The wheels are made by Tagu. They are the 02Racing model, and are .5W all the way around.

[reaper]

wow that is one nice lookin ride very very very good work on the body

[Faze.]

wow that is one nice lookin ride very very very good work on the body
do you have the front lights for the car ? i have the pop-ups if ya need some

Yea, I have them. They're still sitting in the bag. Thanks though!

[taiwanesekid05]

Omg, I just realized, you're Faze from the Mini Z forum... The one with project Sexy Pants!... That is one **** nice car ;) an inspiration to tell you. Nice work so far :)

[Spoon_Tuner]

Yeah every time I see one of your Mini Z's posted up on that minizracer forum. I am bamboozled on how much detail you put into them and not just that but the quality of your pictures is got to be best I have seen Mini Z's

This looks like it actually in one of the cars in formula drift or something that would be seen at a drifting event.

Definitive KILLER!

[XMDrifter]

very nice. it looks very smooth
estimate on how long till completion?


we got an member named Kaze, so Faze, meet Kaze:
*post something, Kaze*

[Sweed]

Is this the faze from XMW and other forums?
If so, welcome back.
If not, still, nice work!

[Donziikid]

Glad to see you posting again, Faze. As I've said before on other forums, awesome work thus far and I cannot wait for the final outcome! :bigwink:

Cheers,
Kyle.

[texan_idiot25]

Not my choice of color, but friggin' excellent body work and stance.

Sweed- I remember a Faze from xmw... I think? It's been a long time. We should meet there... Tonight. In the back parking lot.

[Faze.]

taiwanesekid05 - Thanks! Means a lot!

Spoon_Tuner - Thanks for the kind words! I can't wait for it to be completed.

XMDrifter - At the rate I work, probably another month or so haha.

Sweed - Yea, that's me. I remember you from Infernal and XMW back in the day. I don't visit XMW anymore, that site went downhill.

Donziikid - Thanks. I never noticed this forum before, and i've seen some nice projects on here, so I decided to join. This forum seems to be very well organized and welcoming.

texan_idiot25 - Thanks! Yea, I remember seeing you on XMW too.

[TripleXmodder(akaXXX)]

GEORGEOUS, one word for one spectacular body.

[Dr. Kustom]

WOW!!! Faze from MZR!!!! Welcome to XMS man, the 86 is coming out great, make sure to keep us update!

[xmodkidd33]

Nice! I was following this on MzR for a bit, and wondered where it went. I think the front lip would look better blended into the body like the skirt and rear lip.

[amorton94]

*speechless*

Awesomely beautiful car.

[4G63punk]

beautiful! looks very good so far!

[torredo]

although i like AE86's myself i dont see a whole ot here to impress me yet but i will continue to watch this thread unfold.

[nw~hummer]

i love the konig rewind style rims!

[okoye]

i love the konig rewind style rims!

try watanabe the original style

[Faze.]

I blended the front lip with some putty earlier today. I will sand it down when it dries and take some pictures (probably sometime tomorrow).

[okoye]

pics faze pics lol

[Faze.]

There's not much to see. Here is the un-sanded putty:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6750.jpg

[okoye]

you have the fog lamps to put in there?

[Faze.]

Yea, all that stuff goes in after point though.

[XMDrifter]

we need paint fazzzzze.jp
no rush
it looks really smooth and nice right now

[Faze.]

I'm going to the hobby shop in a few minutes to pick up some primer. I blended the lip some more, now I just have to shoot it with primer. Once I fill in all the little imperfections, I am ready for the first coat of paint.

I am also in the process of sanding down my Falken Trueno autoscale, and I am going to make a custom front bumper for it since I stole the lip from it to use on my pink AE86. I will be using the side skirts and rear bumper that came with it, and I will be painting it white with black bumpers.

I'll post some pictures when I have both bodies primered.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

wow the body work on this car looks really good, i'm having trouble geting along with the pink though...

[dccracing]

the thing i like the most about this car is how well the exhaust pipe turned out.

[Faze.]

Thanks for the replies guys!

I primered the whole body, and added putty to fill some small imperfections.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6755.jpg

In case you are wondering why there is a little cut in the hood, that is where a tow hook will be going.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6754.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6753.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6752.jpg

Let me know what you think!

[himynamebebrian]

TOP NOCH WORK! thats amazing how perfect it is! wow. is it still going to be pink?

[JDMDUDE]

looks good

[Faze.]

Here's a teaser:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6757copy.jpg

[Skv012a]

I actually liked your stitch idea that you tried on the side skirts, I may borrow that for my own racing 86. Body kit is defenetly smooth, but also seems way too plain and kyosho-like. Consider adding a few more strips of styrene to liven it up. You've already started the project and haven't lost the desire to finish, so make it worth the time and money dude.

[okoye]

bro he just repainted it im sure its abit late to redo it

[texan_idiot25]

Not everything needs to be busy and full of vents and crap... His design is clean and simple. Pretty sure he's done it exactly to his liking, worth his time and money.

[okoye]

tex man i love you......... no homo. you took the words right outta my mouth

Hahaha its a space ship!

[BoostAddicted]

I like this project alot. AE86=sexy. keep it up. but i dont under stand is the slit on the hood that you said a tow hook was going ?? why not put it on the bumper ??

[Faze.]

Look where the tow hook is in this picture:

http://www.deadpirateproductions.com/Pics/FalkenAE86.JPG

[okoye]

fitment = insanely flush

[himynamebebrian]

where did you get those rims , and tires they look great for drifting, obviously cause thats what your going for.. ha, are they any good?

[okoye]

no more teases

[taiwanesekid05]

Look where the tow hook is in this picture:

http://www.deadpirateproductions.com/Pics/FalkenAE86.JPG

That's an odd place for a tow hook... It's not like they went:

"Fred, point to a random place on the car."
"Okay, there."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I guess that's where we're putting the tow hook!"
"Wait, what?..."

[Faze.]

It's not an odd place. It's a common place. There and on the front bumper are where they put them.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

, i think people are confusing this type of tow hook with the one they see on every day cars, i beleive this one is made mostly for getting the car/remains of a car, off the track as quick as possible, not like an everday driver sort of thing, on the hood is out in the open so the tow truck driver can hitch it up in a matter of seconds

it aslo probably easier becuse the frame of the car, in this case, is so close to the hood, same with the bumper

[Faze.]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6770.jpg

[okoye]

holy smokes batman!! that thing is insane bro flush low pink and glossy! anything that sexy should be illegal

[himynamebebrian]

i am really liking it, p.s i sent you a pm could you answer it please :D thanks.

[xmodkidd33]

Wheel fitment's insane. Love it.

[Faze.]

I still have much to do. Here are some pictures of how far I've made it.

I ran out of paint for the mirrors on the front, so I just put some carbon fiber decal over them. I'm happy with the result, but I'd rather have them be pink.

[Dr. Kustom]

OMFG!!!! Dude! That 86 is sick!!!
Love that CF headlights.

[matt sti]

that last pic should be your sig

[xmods1993]

that is the cleanest ae86 i have ever seen

[Skv012a]

http://www.deadpirateproductions.com/Pics/FalkenAE86.JPG

Thats actually a nice bumper to copy for a Z 86.

[Faze.]

Added some decals to the hood today, and just test fit the windows:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6785copy.jpg

[TAKEO]

wow that looks great. like the formula d haha

[taiwanesekid05]

Where'd you get those decals?

[Faze.]

That windshield is from one of the formula D autoscales.

There has been much interest in the tow hook, so I put it on and took a picture.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6786copy.jpg

[matt sti]

i like the little DC sticker on the window

[Faze.]

Alright, I have everything all glued on. The body is done except decals. I still haven't decided on the decals yet.

[youngxmodder]

thats a great looking car like the pink subtle not in your face like the bright pink 350z i've seen in pictures, but that tow hook is in an odd spot i usually see them somewhere by the front bumper, but what ever floats your boat.

[Faze.]

Added some decals to the door:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture6799.jpg

[xmodkidd33]

Loving those wheels still, not sure about the CF headlights.

[spitfire]

Thats looks awsome. Great job on the body kit.

[94exa2]

could u plz tell me what kinda wheels those are?width?offset?plz?

[Sweed]

Clean, Clean, Clean.
I think I just came.

[XMDrifter]

did we honestly need to know that sweed?
it's a very clean and marvelous car, faze. i wish my painting skills were up to par with yours.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

i like how the head light covers, and section in the middle are black, looks sick, very nice job

[94exa2]

i like the light covers too, where can someone get carbon fiber decals like that?

[torredo]

myself...i would have gone with the Shigano version look. White paint, CF hood. But i will give you this...it still looks good i guess and those wheels are amazing!

[94exa2]

wait, ur gona be selling project pretty pants!?!?!
chasis and all, or just body?

i cant believe ur guna sell such a georgous car!

[greekone]

wait, ur gona be selling project pretty pants!?!?!
chasis and all, or just body?

i cant believe ur guna sell such a georgous car!

When did he say that?:-?

[Sweed]

I vote for a black roof. Like gloss if the rest of the car is gloss...
And a spoiler like this one. And black mirrors, possibly black trim. But that's my personal taste. Honestly though, Faze, your the man, as always. Love the car... And the wheel fitment, it's just perfect.

http://zephilou57.ifrance.com/crx/crx24.JPG

[Gearhead14]

It looks great!Not to fond of the color though.But other than that it looks excelent. Somone should make a initial D one of these.

http://driftjapan.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/initial_d_ae86.jpg

[94exa2]

When did he say that?:-?


i was reading hid "project pretty pants"(or sexy pants or w/e he called it) on mini-zracer.com and alot of ppl were talking about buying this ae86....(might just be that everyone there WANTS it, but i UNDERSTOOD[could have MISunderstood] that he was selling it???)
if so I WANT THE BODY AND RIMS BADLY!

[Faze.]

I will more than likely put the car up on eBay when i'm done with it. I don't have any use for it, haha. I just like building them.

[himynamebebrian]

i sent you a pm faze

[XMDrifter]

kyosho used to make an initial D autoscale. no point in making one unless there's none to be found anywhere.

[torredo]

http://www.c2auto.com/images/Copy_of_IMG_2907_corolla-vi.jpg
Now....this would have made me druel, if it had been done like this!

[Faze.]

That paint scheme is too played out. You see it everywhere. I wanted to do something different.

[okoye]

i have an insane idea for a hatch oh by the way did you get my pm? asking for some advice

[Faze.]

I will reply to everyone's pm's a little bit later. There are so many of them, haha.

I have the shiny sexy pants decal (top one) pictured below being sent to my house. They will be placed on the rear quarter panels.


http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f369/redempire16/minisexypants6.jpg

Once those are on, I am done. I glued the tow hook, and the hood pins on today.

I just got done giving the exhaust that burned tip affect with some Tamiya weathering paint.
