Project: "Street Terror!" RHD converted ITR turbo w/ supercharger!!

Just what everybody needed to see, another ITR thread!!! :banghead:
What can I say, I just love this car and kit. I am not sure how I will do the supercharger yet but the turbo is already in the works, since I have never seen a RHD conversion the right way, I feel like attempting my own. as you can see in the pics I switched positions of the battery and the clutch and brake m.cylinders. I am going for a lot of detail in the engine bay also including engine mounts and other parts left off the original. and since I have never attempted scissor doors or even opening doors for that matter I will be trying it on this kit. I am building this out of the Revell ITR spare parts box I have left over from the prior 8 kits I have purchased. I am not sure on the final look yet but I will be doing a body kit a drag style wing all painted red. other than that I do not know how this will turn out......hope you enjoy.

Yeah i know who you are talking about (I can't remember his name though). I just built a Lightning also but I love how the SC is setup on it and I do not think I can bring my self to use it. Besides, I think I can build one with enough reference pics, I am currently thinking of ways to replicate the "fins" the supercharger has on it. I think if I can figure that out then I can build one pretty easy after that.

I just found this, this will be a good reference.

Its looking great so far! The doors look pretty good. The turbo charger looks good too.

Didnt you attempt a RHD conversion on your del Sol about 8months ago?

Not quite, I actuallly concerted a RHD dash to LHD on the delsol, this time is alot different and pretty involved.

nice not bad, tell me the doors will work?

Have you already done the RHD conversion? In the pictures I cant tell if:
A) thats a dash from another kit
B) You just flipped the picture
C) You have already completed the operation

If thats the modified dash in the pictures, you did a hell of a job. I never would have guessed you had already modified it, looks factory built.

looks damn good man! in a bit, im sure b4 u get to that part, i am building hinges for lambo doors! i can send u a set if u would like! might be a bit tho. after that i plan to cast them and sell! awesome work so far and good luck on the sc!

That's the Fujimi ITR RHD dash isn't it Mean? I did this already, however, I didn't move the battery, clutch and brake stuff, because not too many people would know anyway. Mines Ford racing blue (baby in color) gloss black hood, HB Civic wheels (thanks antonio) with a turbo the size of the tranny...can you say llllaaaaagggggg?

your the man, this is gonna be sweet, although i never understood why you would do the rhd conversion on the usdm ITR if it has the usdm headlights? :skrewy:

008 heads Scale Speedworks. He makes the turbo and supercharger kits. His site says that superchargers are made upon request so you might want to ask.

Here's the site.

Kewl!

very cool, damn a supercharger and a turbo, i bet this whould be fun to drive,lol :screwy:

your the man, this is gonna be sweet, although i never understood why you would do the rhd conversion on the usdm ITR if it has the usdm headlights? :skrewy:
UK Integra's also have the 4-lamp arrangement, and are RHD.

there were also some in japan like that...look in my thread... ITR, Turbo, ...

To answer some questions:

nice not bad, tell me the doors will work?
I plan on making the doors work, I have yet to figure out exactly how I will design the hinges: I guess I need to talk to customminatures for advice?

I stole it from my curbside ITR (fujimi I think) and had to sand a bit of the edges since it is a bit wider than the fujimi version.

looks damn good man! in a bit, im sure b4 u get to that part, i am building hinges for lambo doors! i can send u a set if u would like! might be a bit tho. after that i plan to cast them and sell! awesome work so far and good luck on the sc!

I would not mind seeing how you did your lambo hinges but if not I will figure something out! And as of last night I was able to find a base to build my SC with!!!

your the man, this is gonna be sweet, although i never understood why you would do the rhd conversion on the usdm ITR if it has the usdm headlights? :skrewy:

Becuase I have not seen it attempted like I am doing it and the engine bay looks more realistic in the Revell scale, if I stuffed the motor into the fujimi ITR it would look small due to the scale differences. besides I just felt inspired to do the round headlight version.

Mean...here's mine, I didn'tmove the stuff in the bay around tho.

Looks nice though I would love to see pics that are more clear. I remember your thread, after seeing all the RHD cars in super street and other magazines I have just been inspired to replicate one as much as I can pull off. I think maybe even Subconsciously your ITR thread helped motivate me to build mine, who knows :dunno:

Far as the pics...my camera sucks. But, the burnout was a cool pic to take. Good luck with yours.

Well I finally got the SC built! sorry the pics are so crappy, I am just not taking pictures when the light is right :mad: But for the most part you can see what I have done. I went with the jackson racing SC style but w/o the name representation. I still need to add a fuel rail and more detail all before cleaning it up and painting. how is it coming along????

Feedback welcomed!!

Looks great

hey for hinges, try useing a piece of metal thicker then a pepr clip but not to much, and create a U bend in it and make the U bend go upwards and mount it on the wipe area inside, some how liek that. start with a U bend

Looking good so far, keep it going and us posted on progress!! SWEET!!

I am waiting for more pictures!

Wow!

mean...I dont see any pics.

Well I finally figured out the lambo door setup, paper clips work wonders!!! the hinge was totally different that I had originally planned but it works beautifully, I may post a tutorial later on but I am not sure how this would work with any other models since I have not tried it yet.
this project is definetely taking more time than I 1st thought but thats cool. right now I am trying to design a front end that justs fits with this car and I am a little stuck, hopefully it will come to me soon, till then here are more pics.

looks real good, cant wait to see what u come up with for the front

sweet post that tutorial

So far so good!

wicked. that's one honda I'd be scared of....(not)

is that sarcasm I sense!?? :dunno:

i love the doors :bigthumb:

is that sarcasm I sense!?? :dunno:
Kinda. Altho I may be beaten down by many integras with the SR5, I'm still not scared to take them on.

Keep up the great work mean.

Well I have finally started back on my ITR project. I have finally settled down enough after moving that I have been able to refocus again.
The door jams are really time consuming to make them look convincing and I still do not know exactly how the body kit will look before I am done. I am just making it up as I go along.

Awesome body kit great job!

Like I said earlier, looks great. Also, its good to see someone put effort into good looking, realistic doors. Most people cut them open and glue on the interior panel, glue hinges, and be done with it; well not most, a few of them. Your doors are excellent!!!

I'm very impressed with the putty work!
It looks like you even made new window sills(on body) after cutting the doors out. That's just nutty!
I think the front end is very cool. It kind of reminds me a Saleen S7??
Rear wing looks appropriate with rest of the body kit too.
I like your style, it's not too wild!

:iceslolan VERY NICE! I love the look of that front bumper, I say keep the wing, lookin good, your scratch building skills are great.

Sweet putty work! The wing is sweet, where did u get it?

Great looking project. Wing is Subaru Impreza isn't it? Looks absolutely awesome. Keep up the good work!!!

The bodywork you are doing looks to be very promissing, keep it up :)

looks killer! good to see you back in the game!

Cool, thanks for all the interest. Yes it is a WRX wing, it flows suprisingly
well with the body kit I have to say. it is taking time but I want this one to turn out nice, I am even avoiding building multiple kits right now to keep my focus on this one.

Very sweet build. Love the doors and crazy engine.

Well I finally have some more progress photos. this car has been quite time consuming, it seems sometimes that I am barely making progress at all. I can't wait until it comes together enough to start putting the whees on it and the interior in. The body kit is almost done, I may add someything to the front, not sure yet?? maybe a CF diffuser that wraps aroung the entire front?? any suggestions on the body kit at this point will be greatly appreciated!! I am still not sure if this is the wing for this car or not?? any input???

this one is a little blurry but you get the idea.

kikass

I'm loving the bodykit :wow:

That wing looks fine, but I think a Mustang Cobra R wing would suit the bodykit.

It's lookin really good

Awesome bodykit, cool dash too.

everything i see is amazing :eek:

:eek: that body kit is absolutely awesome!

that thing looks awesome dude...the whole thing is like mad.
nice job on the blower and the kit.
keep it up
laters, WIDE

Sweet! good job on the door jambs (sp?) and the doors. the front isnt my taste but your craftsmanship is amazing. going to be a definate show stopper when completed. keep it up.

JeFF

Those door jams keep looking better and better! Will we even see latches? :lol:
Great work so far! Keep it up.

Wow thats one stunning project !!! the bodykit looks very unique while still looking damn good on the car. doors are pretty realistic too !! keep up the good work man, i'm lovin' it

Awesome looking! The wing looks very nice on this car. But maybe you should do something about the attchment to the trunk. The wing just stops. You maybe should connect it to the other side or something. Just my :2cents: Great bodykit, Awesome doors. Can't wait to see this one finished :D :bigthumb:

Thanks, the wing is actually just sitting there right now to see how it flows with the body. If it ends up staying on the car I will definetely have to make it blend with the car, probably by laying a strip of styrene on the trunk in between the spoiler mounts, basically like the WRX it came off of. thanks for all the interest in the project. who knows I may even add latches like GTmike400 suggested, i have thought about just not decided yet.

Just a couple more shots with the wheels on (sorta)
