I customized a 1/64 import racer,found some Boyds model spray paint at Wally World that came pretty close to the BOP,a little purplish though.I used to build slotcars years ago and messing with the Import Racer 1/64 kind of makes me want to break out all my old slotcar stuff and get back into it :D

I have 1/24 scale Fabulous wheels that I sell. Cost is $11.99 for a set. They work great for the plastic kits. I'm sure they'll work with the diecast cars.

I was on Ebay yesterday looking at scion stuff and somebody has the Dub Scions with a lift kit on it. For all of us who have been hearing about a "jacked up" scion, maybe this will be a good idea of what it will look like. Here is the link, hope it works

I found some auto paint that closely resembles the CAMO. Will paint a white one to match Big hungry's camo toaster. Pics to follow soon

I wanna do that too. I wanna BOP xB but I am afraid that I will f somethin up. If I was to do that I would use my HL DC xB. I am good @ taking things apart it is just the matter of getting them back together. I don't even know how to get the paint. Maybe I can see if my stepdad can get me some.

easiest way is to go to the parts store and look at the small spray cans of duplicolor and find one thats the closest. To remove the parts without breaking them just shave the plastic off in the back where it is melted flat and the parts come off. Then when putting back together I use crazy glue but be careful to not get it on the windows it F's them up

I just got my white xB(1/24). got home and threw on the extra set of wheels and axles from the Import Racer Mitsu Evo. The wheels are Racing Hart CR's The longer axles moved the wheels out a bit. The rear wheels even have the crazy negative camber that I want. It looks cool.
