what chassis is that, is the body 190mm, how wide is that? Can't find much information beside the link above. Is it come with a silver can? is any part compatible with any thing say F-103?

Thanx in advance.

i have this kit, it's on the Gr.C chassis which was released more than 10yrs ago, kinda like the formula series chassis with direct drive and running on foam tires. The rear tread is obviously wider than touring cars so I guess the body is 200mm. A black pig "sport tuned" motor is included. Comes with a finished body and the kit was packaged in a nice black box... isn't that cool?

This classis is F102 and the wide of body is 200mm. This is a re-released model(58356). The orginal model was producted on 1991(58098), at that time, Tamiya was built 9 series car are use this classis, they are Honda NSX, Benz C11(released), Nissan 300ZX GTO, Jaguar XJR 12(released), Mazda 787B(released), Nissan R91CP, Daytona thunder and Street Devil.

Thanks for additional info spaceman! I think you meant "re-release" don't you?
Also, there is debate over the name of Gr.C and F102 among Taimya fans, can u help us clarify? Thanks again~

Yes, thanks for Mr.J's corrections...
Call this car is Gr.C is more accurate!!

Wow great info. Very much appreciated (so I guess F102 part is compatible if I can find any) The Black box really stand out and caught my attention but I wonder if I should drive it or it is a collector pieces...
