My GT2 Porsche is also for sale. Its too pretty for me to drive it, and I have nowhere to display it, so it might as well go to a good home.
I bought it over 10 years ago as a battered Taisan Starcard Porsche (Tamiya part number 58172), and spent the last few years restoring it.
In this time the chassis has had: New tub, complete new rear gearbox casing, new Tamiya pinion, new RC Bearings ballrace set, and the suspension and steering has all been shimmed to remove any play/ slop. The car came to me with brand new friction dampers, it still has these as I've not driven it since it was restored. It also has a basic Hitec steering servo fitted. The front & rear bumpers are very scratched, and there's a few scratches to the bottom of the wishbones/ bottom of the front gearbox, but these are only cosmetic, there are no damaged parts on the car at all.
The bodyshell has been painted in Tamiya Anodised aluminium blue (quite a hard colour to photograph!), windows are tinted with Tamiya smoke paint, so are translucent. The stickers on the shell (only the front indicator lights, rear lights & rear number plate) are from the more recent GT2 release. The car has front light buckets fitted (from the Tamiya GT3 VIP shell), rear buckets will be included should you wish to try fitting them (the rear light area is painted with translucent red under the rear light stickers), there are no LED's fitted yet. The rear wing was shortened to look more like the road car version and is finished with a carbon effect film.
The Tamiya wheels are painted in the same blue to match the body, and are fitted with new Tamiya slicks (not glued).
Includes the original Taisan Starcard Porsche box, and a printed copy of the manual. If anyone would like any more photos, please feel free to ask.
Looking for £115. Happy to send by courier, or could be collected from Bedford area.
Thanks!
