"Spoon" inspired ITR

Mean_B16 · 03-05-2003, 03:39 PM

Hey guys, this is one of my projects currently on the table that I work on in between other models drying. I am building it with a spoon theme but I am not trying to replicate the spoon car exactly I just mainly like the yellow with blk wheels look (So racey). The dash, intake, front lip and hood will all be carbon fiber (the dash and intake are already covered). I am trying for a little more engine detail than usuall (i.e. fuel rail, wires, anything else I can think of)
I also built a V-tec controller and monster tach not yet installed.Once it warms up enough here I will paint it, it almost done, let me know your opinions, any ideas to add before I complete it?

awsome, did u use CF decals for the CFed parts? seems like u would have had to use alot of setting solution right?

I used two types of CF decal film to get this look, it looks much better in person. It is the most realistic CF I have put together so far.

It is not messed up, it is just a little dusty and the camera REALLY picked up the dust unfortunately. It looks very clean in person, as soon as I finish and I am home from work BEFORE the sun goes down I will take some really nice outside shots to show it off better.

O.K. here are some progress pics of what I have so far. Thank God it is finally getting warm enough to paint around here

I still have to fine sand and respray the body for that awesome shine, but that will come later. right now I am just focusing on detailing the rest of the car, mainly the motor.
Here is what I have customizedand added on the motor so far:

*CF intake
*CF sparkplug cover
*Added Vtec solenoid
*Fuel rail w/fuel pressure regulator
*Fuel lines on both sides of the rail and on the pressure regulator
*Lower radiator hose
*Vaccum line from intake to manifold
*Vaccum line from overflow tank to radiator
*sparkplug wires
*cam gears

*Brake lines from the master cylinder are next, along with various other vaccum lines and hoses

The interior is sporting a full CF dash and Vtec controller coupled with customized street racing seats. I probably left a few things out but that's how it goes.

nice little N1 style exhaust with a custom taillight treatment

I almost forgot about the CF lip!!!

As always, I love feedback and comments good or bad as long as they are honest.
