Well I have had this kit done for a while but I never got a chance to really post it. I was not to happy with the fitment but I am sure my second kit will go together more smoothly. I wanted to keep this Civic fairly subtle with no body kitsor anything gawdy. It has a ITR wing and wheels, scratch built N1 exhuast, recaro seats, vtec controller, red carpet, scratch built 4-1 header and intake manifold, fuel rail w/ fuel pressure regulator, I even ran the hydraulic clutch lines to the tranny!
The hood has a simple scoop but the CF went on poorly as well as the windows (oops I dropped glue on the front window after it was all done)
the last thing I can think off is the stock front bumper I made (made more realistic anyway) complete with CF spoiler.

I love it, the panel lines are to dark, but everything else is great! Some pics of the interior would be awesome!

Not one of my best models I know, but I think the panel lines are not to bad. I think they are border line IMO but still look ok basically but thanks for the comment.

Looks great! I love the Mugen Power stripe along the side, I was going to use that on one of my Hondas, where'd you get it from? There isn't a thing on that car I would change, except maybe... well I hope that's not the radiator, it looks rather smallish.

Clean Civic!! Finally, a beautiful, tasteful Honda without a a gaudy bodykit or graphics..it's about time! Sweet engine bay detailing. I like the CF on the strut bar and ignition cover. You even wired it! Did you make the fuse box next to the battery or is it a decal? I like the custom intake manifold too.
Got any pics of the hydraulic plumbing?

Yeah that is the radiator but i wanted to keep the stock size in there to replicate a fluidyne unit. I just realized i left off the hose from the radiator to the overflow tank!! I can't believe I did that :eek7:

the best pic I can get of the plumbing is the first pic in this thread. the fuse box is a decal.

I just used good ole #11 exacto blade and cut them out, then I just added styrene ti fill the gaps and of course I puttied it all in. not to bad really. I added a thin piece of styrene to the top of the chin spoiler also to make it look thicker and (IMO) more realistic.

It is a '92 Integra GS-R, I sold my civic to a friend (long story why). But I have wanted an integra like this for a while and I already have big plans for it. I also swapped the motor from the civic since it had about 20hp more than the b17 GS-R motor (less miles than the GS-R too)
