Project Puprle Haze

so what do you get when you have a v6, a blitz body kit, lambo doors, and a open trunk,

right now its in the cutting stage, i have the doors cut out now. in the pic the body kit is just taped on. kudos to Chris @ SAS for quality. ill hope to get more pics up, im thinking of a purple/silver paint for the eterior. and some other mods
hopefuly more pics to come, i should get alot done before i have to head back to college.

V6? I've seen the 3.0L Stealth twin turbo in the Integra Type R once, but why?

no its a v6 from an nsx, a bit more power still managing to keep it FW drive.
the reason, cause no one else has and its a bit more HP

I built one that was probably capable of putting down alot more torque and power at the rear wheels than that nsx motor ever would. Looks good, might I suggest for your paint, lay the purple down all over the body and just fade silver from the bottom of the body half-way up.

well i was thinking of laying down the purple and lightly spraying some silver over it.
and what motor did you put in?
and i like the NSX motor because its N/A (normaly aspirated). i like motors that do power with out those extras.

That's the paint scheme I was talking about just let whatever over spray be and that can be your fade.

The chassis was chopped up and I built new tunnels for a rear end, and transmission. The motor I used was a 90 something or other LT1 corvette transmission, with a T56 6sped manual. It fit quite well, only thing was I had to add mega rear wheel camber because the car looked 5 scale inches higher in the rear. But this year coming, I'm going to make a turbo typeR AWD track star. and still retain the VTEC motor, and transverse motor mounts. Staytuned, as it's coming in a week or two!

BTW, could you post some pics of the motor in the engine bay when you get it fitted?

sounds prety good, ill try to get pics up as i do it, i can say it wont be the best swap ever since its my first but ill do the best i can for it. im hopeing to have all parts cut for the lampo dors and rear hatch soon. so maby all the body work done sometime next week to get ready for spraying. ill try to keep this updated.

Cool, just take your time. If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? My dad used to say that all the time when I was kid and he'd build his kits.

if i realy have trouble with it then ill just leave it till my next break from school (spring break), or the summer when i have even more time. im hopeing to get a chunk done soon (the exterior) but if it takes longer i dont mind taking my time.
heres a pic to show the body kit in its semi mounted (some touch up and gluing still needed plus filler. and to show that i took the doors off.

that's cool. Might I suggest the grey 7spoke rims, instead of those, just a thought.

ive thought about that but im not sure i like those very mucn, what i really need is like 10 spoke wheels but ill see whta i can get. i just dont get the right vibe of those 7 spoke but ill try to get a pic up of the car with those on for comparason

Or, if you have an LHS, they sell XS Tuning, 17'' wheels. They have a variety of styles and colors, you could allways check them out.




EDIT:

BTW, how do you make your pics smaller so they fit on the AF web gallery?

here it is with the 7 spoke rims, and my camera has a function that does 640X480 so i dont need to resize it. other wise just use an image program that should work.

Yea, I figured that out. Looks cool, but I don't know now. Is this going to be like a street performance car? Because I have another suggestion for the wheels if you're doing street/performer. The 5spoke rims, useing a fine brush, brush some metallic, or gloss black right on to the spokes, leaving the lip chrome, that'd be pretty cool I think. But It's your car, your build.
