Spoon Civic HB ITR engine swap...

Almost done now, just gotta finish the interior and then strip body paint & re-paint it. Thinking about black.

***The engine IS re-painted!!!***

Yes, I know its HUGE! It would look good on a Supra though (think Subway).

looks really good. Are those spoon wheels i see?

Yeap. I'd say its rollin' on 12's if they are "to scale". They are supposed to be 15's, but they are more like 12's.

Looking good. to bad we can't get those euro hoods they are tinted different colors IE: red, blue, yellow, and so on that would be real nice :flash:

What do you mean? Do you mean the clear hood? That was just done in Adobe Photoshop.

In some of the import cars mags they are ads for tinted hoods for cars so you can see the engine but the hood is made of high impact plastic and tinted different colors.

GOOD LOKKIN progress!!
How do u make the exhaust btw with pen??:confused:

Ahh i see. I see them in some ads of SuperStreet.

How do u make the exhaust with pen?????
plz answer! thnx!

Here is a diagram explaining the pen exhaust. The diameter is REALLY big in scale. Hope it helps. Use a Dremel. It works the best.

aaahhh nice diagrams and nice idea...
gonna try that out!

Nice, hope to see it finished, because I have something like this in mind also :) . Are'nt spoon rims supposed to be flatter? I saw a set of spoon rims made by fujimi, they DID NOT look like spoon, the only thing they had in common was that it was 5 spoke and black. I'm not sure if the hood was cut out accurate :confused:

super street ads...:rolleyes:

anyways, now THAT is a good use of an ITR engine. paint it yellow with the black Spoon rims, a black front carbon lip and a stripped interior and do the valve cover of the B18 Spoon Blue.

Hey, we did kinda the same conversion, but I didn't carry over the chassis. Looks good!

looks good u should definatly do a hatch wind and a lip for the car and id paint it the white spoon type sheme like white with carbon spoiler and lip and the black rims mmmuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...master piece
:smoka:

Looks cool, the pics are too dark for me to see the detail though. I am doing a similiar build up right now but I left the ITR together this time.

I'm not sure if the hood was cut out accurate

Umm yeah...its not. Any ideas on how to fix it :confused: ? I was considerinng using polyester putty and reshaping it. Then I have to reshape the hood too. I may fix the car engine bay but throw the hood out. Or I'll attach the hood in an open position so you wont be able to tell that it fits improperly. Any suggestions? Styrene work for this? :rolleyes:

awsome conversion!!!! and awsome exhaust:cool: :alien2:

i cant wait to see it completed

really creative on the exhaust.. I should try that hahah

Thank you!
