Im using Bondo for the body kit, since it drys in minutes i dont have to wait a week to sand it or any thing like that
Right now the body isnt in the best of shape, its gonna take some time to get it to the right way i want it, but i have this idea in my head, the front will come out on each side like the Blitz body kit, and will resemble it in a way, but still resemble the Veilside body kit for the S2000, it might be kinda hard to imagine for some of you, but i can so im gonna try it.

I think im gonna go with a light blue or Candy Apple Red for the body, and the same for the engine bay, with some Chrome excesories (spelling?)

its kinda late, sorry for the pics not being best condition.

PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEED BACK

Be careful what you ask for. Building an Integra with a Nissan motor will cause mixed emotions around here. Build it the way you like best. That's all the advice I can give you for this project.

youre right, but considering, that the only threads that get any real replys are either R34 or ITR threads, so why not join them both eh? Just kidding :evillol:

seems like a pretty ambitious project. i like how ur using nissan to power the honda. lol, or rather the fact that ur swapping useless honda power for the best japanese company, nissan. the wide body looks good.
but one question, y recycle old models? just save up $15 and get another teg.

well, in the end a few weeks from now i would end up scraping parts from this model any way for another project, thats how i usually am.

And actually i do have about $80 right now, but i have to pay $50 on Sunday to go to an amusement park with my gf, and plus, gas money, tires for the car im driving, to put the tires on, etc, i will be in debt and will end up having to borrow money, and so i might as well forget buying a new model for the time being.

Good Luck.

and this will be a fr teg or a 4wd teg? btw i hope everything works out... engine needs detailing...very ambitious!

I like it, but my critisism is about your engine bay, looks a bit roughly carved, clean up the edges a bit!

Lookin good. What are planning to do about the drivetrain? Gona have to do a lot of work to get that workin with that chassis.

ahhh thats the secret of my success, any one ever see a picture of a chassis from ANY car ive ever made? :evillol:


im not sure how it will all work, im gonna try to make a slightly detailed chassis, but i usually forget about the chassis, cuz i like to look at the body, and the engine.

I was planning on making it rear wheel drive, uh oh, this wont be a 4 wd car :loser:


its too early in the morning

Keep at it man! I like the idea- Top Secret style-

glad to have you back, Joey!:sunglasse

glad to have you back, Joey!:sunglasse

hahah thank you, i like to know that some one is still happy to see me back




Top Secret Style is a good way to describe it, but there are gonna be no graphics, etc, eewwwwww graphics make me want to puke, whether its a JGTC Supra, or a civic crusing in my town


also, i wont have much progress till Saturday at the earliest, i must go out of town some time tomorow due to a death of family friend, no worries there, please no one apologize.

but when i get back, all hell brakes loose :evillol:

Good Luck, Cant wait to see how well you'll detail the engine.

Heres my little 2cents by the way...

I think you shouldn't "cram" the engine, into that small Enginebay. It looks very choppy...

Instead cramming the engine in to that stock typeR bay, you should Cut the Engine Bay away from the Interior, So that way, you'll have more space.. You will just have to rebuild the wheelwels with styrene, and what not..

Now this looks to be a interesting looking idea you have come up with

:iagree: . looking good so far, but i have my doubts about a honda with a RB26DETT IMO

this ones ganna b interesting

i got some chrome paint a little bit ago, tomorow i will be painting some of the stuff that i want chrome


pics of that when its done

Heres a few pics

tho the paint doesnt look that much like chrome
i got a lot more work to do on the engine tho, i just wanted to see how the chrome looked

comments and suggestions please

HAHA Shoes crack me up...

Although I see a HUGE mold line on the Turbo, and the CRME Dash isnt somethin you'd see in real life. ( I see a few Finger prints)
Hope It all Comes out Good in the End...

that's one raped RB26DETT :p IMO, but it's not finished as you said so that's a relief :rolleyes: j/k Anyway, the chrome looks good,

well, maybe not chrome, but ive seen plenty of silver dashs before, besides my brothers accord.


i sprayed the dash to see what its gonna look like with that chrome color, it was originally silver any way, i think im gonna paint it the color of the car, what ever that will be


I use a candle and burn most the stuff together for the intercooler pipes, so its kinda hard to sand, but im gona try it, maybe if i pour fiberglass resin over it, it will sand better, ive done that before with body kits ive made, specially since testors putty likes to crack, and puting the resin over the putty then sanding helps hold it, tho i wont have to do that this time

the turbo came from some kinda of testors truck kit

the intercooler got warped in the process of bending the pipes, its a shame, but will look like a battle scar when all is done and finished :evillol: :rofl:

Wow very intersting project that you have on your hands here. I would cut out the whole motor bay and make a new custom made one. Maybe make it look like clean. Like hardly anything in there but the motor and fender wells and the fire wall.

Put your shoes back on...it smells.

Put your shoes back on...it smells.

actually it doesnt.

Theyre Dr Shoals, i got them for $10 at walmart almost 2 years ago.

How are you going to badge the car? As an Acura, or a Nissan?

i plan on shaved, no badges.

unless i i can alter a type R bade to say type GTR, tho i think thats a bit ricey, even if it does have a RB26

intersting project you have goin on here... even though i usually cringe at kinda strange swaps like this, but your project has actually a lot of appeal to me for some reason... i really like what you have going on here... and right now your widebody looks a lot like my 180sx that im working on now... well keep it up...

i think two GTR decals...like where the door and front fender meet. ya know what im sayin? you might be safe from TFAF syndrome by jus puttin on 2 decals...then again, if you dont put them, then its be a clean lil sleeper...lol.

update


the body is starting to look better, tho its gonna still take some work, hopefully this evening i will start making the front piece exactly how i want it

and this is the begining work for the engine of my next project, when ever this one is completed, but its just looking so good to resist showing it

no more pics of the RB26DETT right now but i will have some soon.
with my gf on vacation it leaves me to get some real work done now, finally :evillol:

The body is comming together. Still alot of shaving grinding and sanding needs to be done, good luck with that ;) And bondo does work like a charm because of the fast drying time and easy sanding, i know :) :p

quick update, i think im gonn ahault this project, at least the body its self, i shouldnt have started out trying to do some thing so big, so after i do some small projects ill try to complete this one

but i got enough money to buy another ITR kit, so im gonna make a true sleeper with this kit, GTR ITR :evillol:

look for that in a week or so

yes im a quiter :evillol:

good luck man but it needs a ton of work
