Project INTEGRAty (pics here)

Here is my acura integra kit from revell.I have added a scale 2 inches to the bottom.What do you think of it? See pics at bottom of thread.

looks nice. cant wait to see more progress.

Thanks!

Nice, keep up the work. I am also building the same kit, But I'm keeping it a stock Type R. I'm going with white along with white stock wheels.

Yeah that looks tight. i like the speakers in the back thats cool too.

that will look super low, cant wait to see the finished car

Nice, keep up the work. I am also building the same kit, But I'm keeping it a stock Type R. I'm going with white along with white stock wheels.
I'm doing the same. but going for a more, jdm style, the black valve cover, white wheels, mid blue paint, something inspired by a jdm itr.

I also planned for a black hood and trunk&type r wing to simulate CF. Were you planning for any motor mods?

thanks for the complements i am planning ethier a turbo charger or an engine swap not sur of wich one yet any ideas?

an nsx v6 would be sweet, especially with a supercharger atop it!

Looks cool, im not really feelin the targa top, but its your model, is that Bondo Spot/Glasing Putty you are using?

I find it interesting that import rodders add height to their cars, while traditional rodders tried to take height out.

Like a guy here in Cleveland who's a member of the Choppers Hot Rod Club has a candy red 1950 Ford that he sectioned by about 5 inches. It's only a little taller than a original Mini Cooper now. The thing's license plate reads "Whacked".

looks cool i hope to see it with paint

Thanks guys

WOW I've really been behind I kind of had to restart but I cut most of the parts off and put them on the new kit. What do you think?
EDIT:fixed pics

a sea of red X's

the last 3 shouldnt be xs.The first are because I lost my hosting its changed since the anyway.

me too supratuner

Hey, what kind of putty is that?

Bondo glazing/spot putty

lots of red x's!

I guess Im on a roll today I got the suicide hood done. I also need some help making a decision with the wing on the back. Should I go with the one in the pic or leave it wingless?

i see a few pics now, looks pretty good

Looks good. I see pics #2 #3. #1, #4 don't work for me.

Looks pretty good.
As far as keeping it wingless, Its hard to see what it looks like when its off the chassis and no wheels, nah Mean?

anyways looking real good!

Thanks everyone. IImportSupra-Ill probably do a mach up tomorrow to help me decide.I have no clue whats going on with stupid fotki if my pictures aren't working check them out here. http://public.fotki.com/speedstur/integraty/

nice job man lookn real clean, nice to know at least one other person uses spot/glazing putty lol also if you havent already check out my civic :)

Thanks your civic lookin awesome. Got a little work done today I finished the front bumper except for a little more putty work to be done.

I got some of the Engine parts painted today as well.

I also need a little help with the motor since its comming from the raybrig nsx kit and I need to know what parts C10, C2, and A23 are and if they need to be modified for a "street engine".
http://pic13.picturetrail.com/VOL480/2309239/4530484/57134737.jpg

looking good

C10 is an engine brace, to keep the engine from twisting due to the torque of acceleration, and instead put all that power to the wheels. This you probably won't need for a car like an Integra, and even if you did it would have to be extensively modified. I would instead use a small, sprung one (like a small coilover) between one of the valve covers and the wheel well.

C2 are fluid reservoirs. You can reuse these, but they would be placed elsewhere.

I'm not sure what A23 is, probably some sort of electronic control from what I can tell.

If you are making it RWD, you might consider also modifying the transmission, but if you are doing a FWD with longitudally mounted motor, you're fine.

Thanks guys. Wilmo I'm going to make it a RWD what do I have to change on the transmition?

wow real clean man. not too good at converting FWD to RWD sry :(

Cool project.

Thanks guys. Wilmo I'm going to make it a RWD what do I have to change on the transmition?

Do you want an honest answer? I'd, erm, cut it completely off. If you notice, the tranny on the NSX engine has a place for two driveshafts, one going to the left and one to the right (just like the stock Integra motor.) The real problem with this is that the output is way off center from the center of the motor, they stick out to one side of the block instead of through the centerline (where the crank would go). You are putting the engine in the typical V-6/V-8 orientation, right?

You have a few options:
1. Cut the entire transmission off (this may be difficult, I don't recall, though I did do it for my S2000 V6) and replace it with a transmission from some domestic car, since they are plentyful and of the right shape.

2. Modify the existing one. Cut off the stock attachement to the driveshafts from the engine. Attach the driveshaft to the "pointy" end of the stock transmission. Less convincing, but a lot easier.

3. Fake it. Just stick the motor in and don't worry about it. I'd find this unacceptable, but it is an option.

cool i already did 2 I'm gonna try the first one if possible, Thanks again.

wow...dammit i've been working on an NSX powered integra also been working on it for awhile now though and using the same engine...been off and on with the project because theres so much fabricating that im doing for it.

good luck with yours! cant wait to see it.

Thanks I'm having a lot of trouble making the tunnel but its getting there I'll have some pics soon.

Now I know what everyone is thinking Hmmmm why could there be a large gaping hole in the hood? Well its not for a sunroof, instead I'm grafting the scoops off of the NSX. What do you think? O and the hosing got messed up again so you can see all the other progress pics here http://public.fotki.com/speedstur/integraty/

Looks great :sunglasse Use the NSX stuff.

looking like a A+ job, keep it up!

Making nice progress so far. I like the hood scoops, they look very aggressive. I have noticed alot of image posting problems, have you had any trouble loading on my site??? I noticed there is 5 red x's instead of pictures?? just curious??

Thanks guys, Mean B16 I havent had aany problems on your site I was linking to another one before I realized the hosting you offered. I added the fin thingys inside the hood scoopes. What do you think?

Cool ! i like the hood vents, keep it up. this project gets better and better everytime you post progress

this kinda sucks , because i have also been planning an nsx engine integra for months now.

although mine will be front wheel drive.
