I've been doing some cleaning, and dug up this busted-ass car from some company called Gay Toys (shaddap already!) that I'm thinking would make for the equivalent of James Bond's car if he worked for Starfleet's Section 31. But I need some engines, and don't know which engines from what product would work best. I'm wanting TNG-era engines, reaching from the rear end to about halfway of the window. No die cast metal since it refuses to work with super glue, lol.

Empty Deodorant sticks? Leave the cap on, and use the little screw thing at the bottom as the thruster.

They come in all sorts of shapes, plus you'll smell good.

Lol, sorry man. I should've specified that I want to steal some off one of the various Trek ships that've been made so they'll look proper. Runabout engines would best due to the 'humps' they had over the engines going up into the main body, which would fill the wheel-wells on this thing nicely, I think.

If you can find one for cheap there is a Playmates Shuttlecraft (Goddard I think) that has some nice big nacelles. They aren't the traditional Next Gen engines with the red bussard collectors but they fit in with the universe and would look good with this base vehicle.

DUDE! I had that car, when I was a kid. Except, mine had wheels. ;)

My first thought would be the nacelles and pylons off a 1/2500 scale Enterprise E. Probably have to go with a 1/1000 scale kit, if you want Ent D style nacelles. Not all that practical to buy a kit for just those few parts, though. (unless you can get a great deal, or have use for the other parts)

Get yourself some better superglue. die cast shouldn't be a problem.
