Qwik Build: Integra

This is just a Revell Integra kit. Nothing special I'm just building it while I'm here at college, so I'll have updates at least once or twice a day during the week. Gonna be blue or purple. Kinda overdone import look. Nothing too special so far.

Im happy though cuz i can finally work on something at school! :biggrin:

looks good so far

Sweet progress. What wheels are they btw? Go for blue imo. Would look pretty sxc.

very nice dude

love the gold wheels!

Thanks everyone, I'll update a little later. But for now to answer the wheels questions:

They are the 6 spoke wheels which come with the Revell Civic kits. I stripped the chrome using bleach and then painted them gold suing testors gold metallic spray. They are a nice dark gold in natural light rather than the yellowy colored gold, i really like them!

Thanks again!

Very cool man! I like those wells!

justin....red...matches...gold...great job.

Time for another update. I've done some more chassis work, the chassis piece is done, I added the beginnings of the front suspension and just placed the rear suspension to see how it fits. I ditched the metal exhaust tip for a big one (I know they are not very practical and this one is far to big for scale but I like the way it looks). I also finished the front drive axles and struts/ shocks. The final picture is of how the tailights are going to look. I realize they are not true Type R tailghts, nor true JDM tailights but I wanted to try something different and I think they look cool.

So what do you all think???

looks good and clean! I like it. keep it WINGLESSS ;)

i love this model iv one editoin of him
nice work

looks great

I just want to know how to do them taillamps

its nice, really cool, but i think you should have made the lights type r. i think those look better, but meh

Well here you go 86sr5, i made a thing to show how to make the tailights!

First you paint around the raised edges on the back of the lamps with flat black. This will probably take 2 coats.
Then you use an exacto to scrape off any black that creeped over to the top flat area.
Finally apply 2 coats of your chosen colors! Pretty easy, hope this helps, thanks everyone!

thanks for the mini how-to! :smile:

good stuff! will try that next time!!

yeah, me too


Im planing on building one more of those itr s

nice!!

Well I got paint on the car this weekend, i think it looks good :biggrin:. I like the blue, and the mid piece of the wing is black, and so is the hood. I'll get better pictures tomorrow. So what do you all think, I also have some interior stuff done, so I'll show you tomorrow. What does everyone think?? ( sorry to disappoint some of you on the wing) But That is the style i'm going for.

Looks great, love the color, and the wing looks nice... :smokin:

that's great. I was going to use that wing and do the mid-piece black like my hood, but went with the Type R since I'm trying to stick with the JDM/tuner look.

yeah i went for a... well overdone, somewhat tacky but toned down look. I personally would never drive this car due to the wing and wheels, but for what I am trying to achieve its perfect!

thats one bad mofo

Looks great but i think you should lower the back some more :evillol:

P']Looks great but i think you should lower the back some more :evillol:
dont worry thats not how it will sit when complete.

Well here is some beginnings to the interior, i should have this complete by the end of the day. Pretyy basic, i may put aluminum trim on the dash

looks great. honestly, if they were stock, given choice, I'd take yours over mine, mine is too bright of a blue with bright white wheels.

Thankyou kindly everyone! I've been working on the engine bay and it is done except for drive axles and radiator. I tried to replicate a type r engine color and wiring as closely as possible. So hows it look to all of you?

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=3077/92112integrap14.jpg

well when i woke up i thought my car looked cool sittin there half complete so i took a picture. Here it is, you can see the beginnings of the interior now with the seats, and center console. Feedback please....

Well new update, you can see the beginnings of the interior better now. And I completely finished the chassis, this weekend i'll compound and polish the body as well as paint window rubbers. Enjoy, and please leave some comments. :smile:

good job. I really like them wheels. what did you do to get them so shiney like that?

You have great project there! Nice details.

looks very nice


i wana see it finished

BAD ASS integra. nice style ;)

thanks everyone, i don't have any updates right now, all i can do is wait to strip the dash after i ruined it. the rest is pretty much done. this weekend i'll compound and wax as well as paint the window rubbers. so its almost there.

now 86sr5 the wheels....
i first stripped n cleaned em, finally i applied testors gold metallic spray, and didn't clear coat, it looks nice n shiney like that

however i'll try to take more pictures later or tomorrow to leave you with over the weekend!

thanks Justin. Going to try that with a set of my other wheels on the teg, just to see if the gold looks better than the white.

What happened to the dash?? :nono:

i painted it semi gloss, and it just doesn't look right with flat black door panels, and there are a couple dust specs on the underside, granted you wouldn't see them but o well

:rolleyes:

waiting on finished project....

im back with very few updates, polished out roof, finished dash, all thats left is:

painting window trim
clear and polish spoiler and hood
polish rest of car
add lights
put in dash and door panels
finish!
