I have always wanted a rubber 1/12 scale class but looks like tamiya f103gt is the closest thing.
It is too bad they don't make them any more.
For those of you who knows tamiya well can I convert a f104 into gt?
From my time with Tamiya cars I know you can go from F103 to a GT. You have to get the adaptors for the rear for the Touring car rim and the front is a spindle change, hub and bearings to mount up to touring cars hexes. I would do some Ebay searches for the parts. I never had a F104 to know if these parts would work on a F104. I think the F104 is narrower than the F103.
I hope this will help you.
I am still kicking around the idea of a Touring car(17.5 or T/A) or a Mini again!
