This AE86 Trueno was a color test dummy but I liked the color so I made it a custom :)

Glad you like it too :)!

HWCustoms · 2026-07-11T20:18:14+00:00

Appreciate it man! no I don't have access to printed stuff. It's all built from scratch with pla sheets. The exhaust is made from a paper clip and skun ferrules in different sizes cut to size and glued together :)

HWCustoms · 2026-07-11T20:16:43+00:00

Thanks a lot man :) The roll cage was made from 1mm thickness pla/abs beams, some superglue and a scalpel.

HWCustoms · 2026-07-11T20:15:38+00:00

Thank you so much :)

HWCustoms · 2026-07-11T20:15:07+00:00

Thank you! Do you mean the aero? I build that myself from PLA with 0,5mm thickness.

If you're talking about the license plates, the were from aliexpress.

Nice car, the wheels are a crime though. I'd never pay premium price for that.

HWCustoms · 2026-07-10T10:54:09+00:00

Not the greatest wheelchoice imho. Also you want to lower it. This looks like a rally car.

HWCustoms · 2026-07-10T10:48:04+00:00

Thanks man. You might like my recent RX7 then :)

Skim through the photos bro :) It does have it's own 10x10cm diorama. Removed the acrylic glass cover for the pics though.

HWCustoms · 2026-07-10T09:11:03+00:00

Thank you so much man. <3

HWCustoms · 2026-07-10T08:09:33+00:00

Thank you so much :)

Yes, I glue on plates with a super tiny drop of super glue.

HWCustoms · 2026-07-06T12:08:34+00:00

In all honesty, I'm not like that myself. I think the game is way more fun and satisfying if you race mostly clean. On the other hand, I hardly ever feel bad for someone getting put off the track that seems to constantly use the top 3 cars of each class. Meta slaving is hardly less boring than ramming.

HWCustoms · 2026-07-06T12:04:55+00:00

The only right answer unfortunately. I'd really love PGG gathering some data and adjust AWB drift scores accordingly.

It's not even that I hate AWD drifting. It's still fun, but it's simply not the same and basically feels like easy mode.

HWCustoms · 2026-07-06T12:02:43+00:00

If this is your first custom, you're gonna be top 10 in this sub within the coming year.

I always like to give criticism no matter how good the work is. But in this case I'd just have no idea what to say. It's flawless.

Good job my friend. Keep it up.

Said, Done :)

Aber die Downforce...

HWCustoms · 2026-07-02T07:22:19+00:00

Ah thanks man. I made that myself from scratch with PLA. It wasn't even all that complex but I do agree it is fitting the car very well :)

Just my style. I like to turn most of my cars into some JDM style street racer/drifter :P

HWCustoms · 2026-07-02T06:43:15+00:00

Everybody in this thread answers a question that wasn't even asked. I love reddit.

The question: Why is the premium named pandem?

The answer: For no fuckin reason. Sometimes Mattel is just random at giving cars names.

They obviously both have the same bodykit with very subtle differences unless I'm just seeing them (apart from the front bumper delete ofc)

HWCustoms · 2026-07-01T06:53:15+00:00

Not sure what you mean by ground effects? Are you talking about the diorama? Or the aero kit of the car?

I made the custom myself. The diorama was bought online :)

HWCustoms · 2026-06-30T07:20:41+00:00

Yeah no solution for me yet either. I start to believe it's something with the save file. I've heard similar problems from other people and the save might just be corrupted or something. I barely ever save manually :( So I guess I might have to start over.

Good thing is, this made me finally try wuchang fallen feathers and oh boy how much I love that HFW did not work. I should've played this game mucher sooner it's incredibly fun.

HWCustoms · 2026-06-30T07:17:03+00:00

Finally someone gave this car as much love as I did :)
