comments please
p.s. should i put nos and a systeme in thanks

i like the engine. but why did u use gloss red on the seats?

Spray dullcoat over those seats, it doesn't look that realistic if you have glossy seats.

. but why did u use gloss red on the seats?
the seats where takin out of another model that was prebuilt(diecast integra) and thats how they where painted but im painting them orange

looking good

I have a suggestion for you, a smoothed trunk with your door handles, it's a good modification.

Sounds like a god project! BTW, what kind of bodykit?

The pic above looks like it was edited......

looking pretty good, cant wait to see it finished.

thanks for that suggestion, i was thinkin about it but could not figure out how it would look because i always wondered about when im at school and cant look at look at the body so thank u for the pic "towelboy". Also thats what i was definitly going to do with my civic coupe and have the inside lights gone too, that looks amazing.

keep up the suggestions & comments:D also what about nos and a systeme good idea or........

Skip nitrous and go straight to real power adders; ie. An engine swap or turbocharger. Turbos are a bit tricky because they usually entail some scratchbuilding, but look quit cool. An engine swap can be equally impressive, such as placing either the Revell Integra engine or (I haven't seen it done befroe, which is odd) the Revell NSX engine. Think about that, a 3.0L V-6 powered Civic. You won't see another one. :angel:

With pleasure, man. There are Altezza lights in the box or not? (it's maybe a stupid question).

The Integra engine in your Civic, that's a good idea...

Nice, u should definitely do the shaved trunk, go for sum detailmaster nitrous also

well this is just my lucky day because i have a scrape itr engine untouched still in the box but is the civic HB and the itr engine the same (im not sure). IF not the itr is in the civic and nitrous is still goin in cuz i like nos:finger:

The ITR engine is indeed different from the Civic engine. There's an extra 200cc of displacement. Externally, the two are similar, but a sharp eye can spot one versus the other. I suggested the Acura NSX engine because it's a more different idea. Nitrous setups in Civics are getting too commonplace, like 4-barrel carbs on small block Chevys, if you get my meaning.

But, when it comes down to it, it's still your model. Do as you like and I won't harp on it, so long as you do it well. ^_^
