hey... although this might (*cough*will*cough*) not look as great as other people's cars... here are my tcs.

this was when i first got my tc... whoo.

and this is when i electrical taped the hood and put a spoiler on it (great, i'm sounding like a presentor...)

and this is when i painted the tc to look like the ae86 in initial d. i even got the japanese lettering down.

and a youtube vid of it drifting....

this is when i got the body kit (i didn't know how rare they are until i saw the thread with it on ebay :roll:)

some where in between these pics is when my 1st tc went bust. it won't go foward anymore....

now... here's the tc without the 6 cell i almost destroyed the whole thing with after a day i got it... (not even a day acutally...) and now the battery holder's springs are stuck in not springy position and the on/off button is screwed...

beater body:


new body with bk:



now... i'm debating myself over what i should do... a 5 cell or leave it stock?

i don't really want to paint the bk.... it's rare... so it's better if i kept it in mint condition.

Nice color of blue, and a decent enough paint job. One suggestion I would have would be to paint the headlight lines on the hood blue to match the rest of the car. IMO it makes carbon fiber hoods look better.

5 cell or stock?

That depend on what YOU want now doesn't it? We do not know how you use it, or what kind of driving you do.

i would say stock.. too much power to the motor isnt always good... motor will heat up easy if u have 5 cell or 6 cell... like only 2-3 minute run time.. the motor will already get hot.. when its stock.. motor wont get hot as easy.... :D
