Forum Trophy - Best modified award (MK2 BTCC shape)

[Jimbobcook]

What pads are you fitting to those great looking disks

They came as a set and appear to be already fitted to the disc for easy fitting so unknown at this point haha

Does the roll cage have to be welded?

Yes it looks like it... Hoping to get the 1:43 tig welder out if that's the right weld to use who knows haha

That’s an impressive amount of mods there!
Didn’t know you could get such things in 1.43 scale.
I’m loving the Mk2 model I’m currently in possession of ( cleanest car award at Donington). You did a brilliant job with that one. It’s residing in the cabinet next to the 3 mk1’s I have.
I’ll stick a pic on here when I get chance.

Parts in for paint then it's custom paint work on some bits and put it back together ready for the next meet...

Finally got round to taking some photos of my ‘cleanest car award’ today.
It looks the part next to the mk1’s don’t you think?

Got a few updates finally (currently working on 4 of these lol)

Had an issue with the bucket seats I got... Seems like the hole I premade was too big so had to re fill and make my own floor...

Then cut some holes for the exhausts

That's it for now more to come...

 

[kanyewest]

incredible as usual! but when will you start taking requests?!

Haha when I've finished all the trophies and don't need to do anymore... Unfortunately it's not cheap to make one if you have lots of custom parts as I have to order wheels etc...

Today's update...

Got the main frame for roll cage fitted (2 rear struts to fit to that)

Then did some base coats on a few things

 

[Jimbobcook]

Some more bits done today...

New exhaust tips

Then roll cage fitted

Then recaro seats and new steering wheel

Then 5 point harnesses

Then external forum decals

Still to come...

Wheels
Weathering
Discs and pads
Put back together and put in case...

All before Saturday

Looking good, all you need now is to fit Scaletrics motors so we can run them out on the track

 

[Jimbobcook]

Haha I could get some Scaletrics models and do it to them I'm sure...

 

[Deleted member 103408]

Well it would add a bit of a racing vibe at one off our meets .

But seriously I think you have enough going on at the moment.

Does anyone own a Scaletrics set still?

 

[Deleted member 103408]

Just checked on the web and you can buy Seat Cupra models for the track but its been a very long time since I have seen any in the flesh.

I am guessing most kids would rather play with Playstation / Nintendo type cars.

Yup. Enough to make 4 lanes about 30 foot long with a btcc mark 2 and an Impreza with an uprated engine.

We need a Scalextric Day where we can bring our cars and discuss them and have a mini track race to see who is quickest on the (mini) Track.

We could have another of @Jimbobcooks made fantastic Car Trophies for the winner

2/ have a go on the Scaletric track to see who is best
3/ Then move to Playstation / Nintendo track race to again see who is best
4/ On to the real track (only scn members nobody else)
