Kpowell911 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Ok, bit of a story like all my R/C Purchases lately. I welcomed my newborn daughter into the world in January, so I decided Id have a break from R/C in 2024, as Id spent a fair amount in 2023. However, I had two RC's I still searched for on eBay/Buyee. The 58170 Supra, and the Pennzoil GTR.... Also, my Loctite R34 build went wrong, and I couldnt let a negative RC experience end my hiatus. Ive not saw a Pennzoil R34 GTR for sale for years, the remarkably 2 came up. One cheap, one not so cheap. I made an offer on the cheaper one, but the more I looked at it, the more it wasnt right. Missing a wing, the wrong chassis, no box etc. So I thought you know what, You only live once, I begged my Mrs, and she relented and I made an offer on the better one. Im going to apologise now, in case the seller is seeing this. I hounded him, the tracking wasnt working...... turned out id copy and pasted via AI and it had misplaced an 0 for a O. So lets not worry about AI taking over just yet, its useless. This is the missing piece for my R34 Collection. Teenage me I never ever thought I'd own a collection like this, peering through the window of Beatties...... but alas I present to you the TA03F Pennzoil R34. As a lad, 3 of us had R/Cs in the Cul De Sac. One had a Repsol Cosworth on a TA-02, One had an Evo 5/6 on a TA-03F, and I had a Focus WRC on a TL-01. Back then, we didnt like the TA03F, the front motor looked weird. In hindsight, its probably the best chassis, and I own all three now.... It appeared hopped up, but looks like these were stock in the box? Original reciept im guessing from 13th August 1999, nearly 25 years ago. I knew the wheel & Tyre decals were missing, but they were in the box Its beautiful! I love it. Its perfect! I wish the windows were smoked but not sure Im going to risk it..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 (edited) Now, as I say, I hated the TA03F as a kid...... and I didnt even check the pics of the chassis, I just wanted the shell...... but look at this stunner!

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted February 2 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 2 (edited) Now that leaves me here. I present to you my R34 Collection. Not pictured is the Z Tune R34 GTR, as thats not as racy! I then realised I have the first 4 TA's TA 01, TA 02, TA03F and a TA04 Not as impressive as most peoples, but honestly Id have never expected to be in this situation with a collection like this!

Thanks that means a lot! I'm thinking of getting rid of the Evo 6, Merc DTM, Impreza, TL-01 Supra, and maybe the HKS R32 and one of the Focus WRC's (theyre all worth less than £100 each really). I could also sell the chassis thats under the Evo 7 (its a brand new £600 TT-02 haha) To buy a: 58170 Supra 58264 Raybrig NSX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
