SHIROSAME STICKER DESIGN & ENGINE BUILD - Continues


Description :
the project is called Shirosame (read: see-row-sa-mae. 白鮫) which mean a white shark...

why white shark?
1. the nature of white shark, swims by moving its rear tail only, and the front fins are only being use to steer... which represent the love of rear wheel drive purist car

2. it cannot swim backward... only can swim forward... this represent our spirit, and bravery to keep moving forward not matter what the problem or danger lies ahead.

3. it will keep swimming to stay alive, even when it trapped on a net or coral, it will keep trying to move until it dies... this represent our persistence behind this project and team.


the initial concept was this:


here are the second concept with mismatch wheels


i did a hotwheels car toy version of it in photoshop


and now the final Design with the new Tekno Tuner sticker:


at Wien's sticker (http://wienssticker.com/) making the livery for Shirosame



SHIROSAME Sticker in Progress




and regardless of what happened in the past, i still have great respect for RIVERSIDE when it come to making FIA roll cages... they are one of the best...



Now back to the Engine Build... this time, we had longer time to build the engine instead of 24hour like my #2 engine... so we torque everything up correctly and loctite each necessary bolts... we also upgraded the timing belt tensioner bolt...
