i really need to get this model, those rims look pretty sick on it

the exaust is alittle to big tho

I would suggest you use the stock exhaust with different tips. That single exhaust is waaay too big for this car. Wheels fit it perfectly.

man, that looks bad ass with those rims on it!

That'll look nice! You could consider, too, having the interior black/blue instead of black/red. Unless you want it to look like a racer. Are you going to put 3 point seats in it? :thumbsup:

Looks nice with the rims and all, but the exhaust is just too big.

Agree with the others - nice choice of rims! Good luck on the project.

Too Big! keep it wingless!

Overkill on the muffler. Nice paint though.

The exhaust is too big.

I have a good feeling about this, Colour should be cool.

Looking nice with the rims, but the exhausts is kinda too big IMO. Did u lower it? Or just put the wheels in? If u did lower it, how did u do it?

alright, ill downgrade to my smaller tipped ones, and take pics later


shorty: i haven't realy started putting it together, but i hope thats how low it will be

i worked alot today and

Primed body
Almost finished inteirior(forget bout the red/black) and supsension
Painted windows ( messed up, and blacked out the passenger and driver window.. bt it looks cool)
muffler: titanium HKS look alike

Looks pretty good so far, to bad about the windows, but i like the new muffler much much better, what did you do to get the blue color on the tip? is that paint or what?

the tipp is like a mix a red and metallic blue painted on carefully ...

the windows actully look sweet
i like them

awsome, im very interested to see more progress, thnx for the tip about the exhaust tip, im guessing that you used alluminium tubing? how did you black out the windows? just painted em?

yup aluminum..

anyways for the windows...

ya tamiya gave window masks for the winshield, side windows, and rear windwo and i totally forgot bout the other two so mistakenly just painted both.. haha.. turned out for the best

do you guys want more pictures or shoud i just wait till i paint the body and finish?

Looks great, the new muffler looks excellent. Give us as many pics as possible!

her ya go! i think it looks phat.. especially with new muffler

the wheels will look great as they are against that pearl. Also a Smoke grey effect would give it a less genteal look. :evillol:

thats gonna loook awesome when its finished, cant wait to see it.

why don't you shave off the other side of the exhaust:eek7: it'll look smoother. i do like it though looks good, nice tints on the windows too!:iceslolan

wow this is great work Integra14. Keep it up!!! :smokin: btw did you scratchbuild anything on the body (side skirts etc.)? :naughty:

i think ill put in another muffler to fill the other spot...




no scratchbuilding yet, but im planning on making front splitters with springs

little more updates.. everything else is done pretty muc... just need to paint, but can't cause its humid and cold outside right now..

well heres the exhaust finished (added second muffler)

and a pic of the intercooler

I'm really likin this so far man, the dual exhaust looks sick!, the tint is actually pretty awsome, more progress!!!

thanks sony, uve been a great inspiratin to do better


anyhow, regarding the project


It hsould be painted by this wkend with boyds enamel.. im just wondering if i coulds spray Tamiya clear coat ofver that enamel??



its almost done already!! im soo excited :evillol:

lookin good lookin good, by the looks of it, im guessing you airbrush? your paintwork is quite neatly done, no brushmarks that I can see, (i think im the only one around that still drybrushes everything except the body, chassis, hood etc... I just bought a nice compressor so now im saving for an airbrush) anyways, to answer your question, I do belive you will be able to use tamiya clear coat on boyds paint, im pretty sure that tamiya clear is pretty neutral to what you use it on, just make sure you paint has fully cured and set, dont hold me to my word, because im not completely positive, but i do belive you can, i have used only tamiya clear coat on all my models, and i have used several different types of paint, (ie. Testors, Tamiya,and several automotive paints)

painted boyds today and fd it up... my airbrush did a few spits for some reason...., i put on 2 coats, and i will sand back till its good, and try again... i have plenty of paint left, so won't quit till its nice and smooth!

MORE PROGRESS PICS PLEASE!!!!!! that sucks that you fluffed up your paint, cant wait to see more pics

no big progress... just sanding away with 1000 then 2000, then ill put on another coat

damn, messd up on another coat! damn this airbrush is tricky!

i gotta start straining my paint b4 hand..


i got minor orangpeal, so i will sand and repaint.. hopefully wihtout ANY minor problems! and i should be done!

no comments? :mad: :mad: :mad:

Paint looks killer. Hurry up and finish.

paint looks pretty good to me, cant see any deffects, hury up!

Looks nice.
Is it finished? If so where are more pics? :sly:

not finshed yet, i have to sand bacak and paint again!
then just windowfarames/panel lines and im done

hey nice job with the muffler, but its too big. other than that nice job. maybe use the exhaust for a 1:18

almost done.. just polishing... minor gluing, window frames and decals.. and i changed the rims

Just a tad bit low for me but otherwise looks like a very nice clean build!

Keep up the wicked work! :)
