1st generation Mini Cooper S manual transmission is a fun car to drive, but this car is loaded with problems/potential problems. Ever since I bought the car with 140,000miles on it, it was an endless fun and repairs.

To list a few things that went wrong during the past...

My R53 has been making some irritating rattling sound for a while and it was not too long ago when I realized that the clutch started to slip when accelerating in higher gears. 

And yes, it is not really recommended nor usual to accelerate without downshifting at a lowe...

I had this Bandai Robonyang for almost a year. I bought the model at an E-mart while visiting Korea. 

And... I finally finished it. It probably took about 8hrs. 4 hours on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday. So it was a pretty fast build.

This originally was a Revell 1/144 Boeing 737-800 Air Berlin Kit with Resin parts from Contrail models. The resin parts were very rough and inaccurate that I was unable to use most of the parts, remaking most of the parts myself.

This is a short update on my Porsche 911 RSR body that I've posted a couple of months ago. 

Long story short, the body is finished and it is matched with the Kyosho Fazer GP body with some hiccups. The result is not too bad, although I would not recommend it to anyone t...

 The first time I made a balsa model plane was only a couple of years ago which was what they call the 900 series at Guillow's. It was a P-51D Mustang. Building this model plane was an awesome experience with pre-cut balsa parts that was very easy to detach. However, a...
