Progress~ Hasegawa Honda Civic Ferio 4 door; Turbo

Here is the start to a slow build since im doing too much stuff at once but wanted to share with you guys my next project. Its a Hasegawa Civic Ferio 4 door which is pretty hard to find and my very good friend phatmitsu was kind of enough to find me one...a really big thanks goest towards phatmitsu (Thanks Rick!) Ok so the color is still undecided. The wheels of choice will be Mugen RNR wheels which im still trying to find! Interior will be stripped. Thats all for now. I made the front grill a bit skinnier so the Intercool would be slightly visible (sleeper :lol) Its been already wetsanded and tomorrow primer will be shot and color might be selected at Auto Zone :lol:

This was an early idea which i canceled, I was going to put a 2 door front bumper on it.

Whoa! You're just building those like a pro, one after the other! I have a similar kit, but with the VX rims.

Really! Do you have a picture of the box? Do you mind sharing please :smile: Thats awesome! I want to see this car built by you, it will look a million times better than mine :mad: There are soo little pictures of this kit built on the internet. I saw a few at warachan.com and i have to say those were beautiful :iceslolan

Oh and BMW dude, yes I love Honda's

Nice work so far. Try hitting up Sean at www.mechahawaii.com for the Orthia kit or contact Rainbow Ten for it. I don't think it has been discontinued yet, and I have bought several just for my own upcoming projects. Good luck with your hunt, and this model. How is the plastic on this one, thin as in the case of the Hatchback, or thicker?

I've built one too. I'll post some pic's as soon as possible.

I'll take pics if I ever get around to it. As for the Orthia you get one from HLJ. :smile:

i didn't know they were discontinued. i have a regular one and the jaccs version. i guess i should try to repair them (i got them like 7 years ago and they look like crap now). can't wait to see the finished product bro!

Thanks Tri, Yea the Orthia isn't discontinued yet. They have it at HLJ, i wanted to buy the RNR's seperate but i still haven't found someone willing to sell or trade Mugen' wheels with me. So i guess i'll have to buy the Orthia kit :disappoin

The plastic on this car is way stronger than the one on the Hatchback. Its a bit transparent also. Very strong indeed.

mrceej: You should defenitely build those and share with us. :)

As I promissed, the pics of my Ferio. Hope you can do something with it.
I build it 7 years ago, in the early days of tuning.......so not hat much modifying. A checkerd flag and clear taillights were hot those days.... :icon16:

i remember those days! and i must say that is pretty clean, even for today.

Ahh the days of clear taillights!

i remember those days! and i must say that is pretty clean, even for today.

I couldn't agree more with you! Thanks soo much for sharing man! You should put that on the Civic meet so everyone else who doesn't get to view this thread gets to enjoy those pictures of that awesome Civic!

As for my Civic, i primered it and am currently going over the panel lines with my Xacto black to get them nice and solid like on my Hatchback. I'll post pictures this weekend when it will be ready for the first coat of paint; which i still haven't decided what colour it will be.

Cant wait to see what you have in store for this Joehammy. I know youll do this car justice.

I had this kit waaay back in the day, I still have the box actually, but the kit is long gone.

Wheelin75r: ahh memories. I too remember the days when the checkered flag was cool on opposite ends of each other. like front right = rear left. And the clear taillights...I had them on my 1:1. The touring wing and windshield wiper halfway up are also reminisent of the old days of tuning. Awesome job!

JeFF

Thats a great car and your are going to make it a great model. Love the spoons! Good luck and post more pics.

Thx for the comments guys! Didn't mean to steel ImolaEK's tread! Like you suggested, I'll post it in the Civic-meet, together with my new Civic Type-R.

About the color of yours..... Man I love that 2nd pic, the red with the gold rims!(Yes, I know you're using them on another Civic)
Can't wait to see it finished!! :jump3:

Nice start. Hopefully the one I am building for a friend of mine comes out nice. :)

your car is begging for a bodykit

Not much has been done to this car. I already have all the pieces put together and the color has been chosen. The color will be Alpine Green Pearl by Dupli Color. Wheels are Mugen MR5's and seats are Recaro's Jet Setter SR-II. I am currently waiting to get some Gunze Sangyo Retarder to drain the paint form the can and mix them and then airbrush it. Hopefully this makes polishing easier for me.

How the seats will look like.

Mugen!!! SWEET! :smokin:

Were did you get that kit? I've been trying to get one of these for a while...

Man keep those MR5's! They will be perfect for the early 90's car. Where did you get those seats? Those would be perfect for my period CRX. Man, I'm handing you the reigns to Honda tuning around here, you've got it cornered.

haha!, Thanks for handing me the reigns to Honda tuning Will:lol: The parts were traded to me from my very good friend mrceej. The seats are S Parts by Aoshima for the S-Parts Prelude. I was lucky enough to have him trade me a few things for some of my parts. Cee J, YOUR THE MAN! My research for parts is still far from done, muahahahahah! :loser: Man if only i could finish all these cars im working on and show you guys! I have soo many cool ideas! If only i had a 1:1 car to practice on.:lol:

IF ONLY!

Were did you get that kit? I've been trying to get one of these for a while...

Your best chance is EBAY. Keep watchin' EBAY for a while. I have been finding alot of cool stuff for awesome prices!

Good Luck!

EDIT: Your lucky, there is actually the very exact kit i have on ebay right now...Perfect oppurtunity, good luck!

UMMMM.. That would be a 2 door civic in the F&F that robs the trucks.

BTW: build up is looking great so far.. IM glad your doing this kit up right.. IM always glad when someone builds a kit from me up nice. Later Rick

make sure this one turns out well Joeham. you asked me for those rims at the right time. now, i feel like i can't do the same to my ferio! :eek:

willimo: if you like, i can print out the decals from those seats. if you get the Integra Type R seats or seats from the spocom package and use the decals, they would be the same (PM me if you are interested). i feel you on the seats being from the right time era. that's why i gave them to Joeham for free. i felt he would put them to use on a good project.

ImolaEK: i found the mugen stripe if you are interested. it'll match the wheels and license plates i sent to you. i never realized how many rare things i have provided to you!!

mrceej>>> dang man, are you an official JDM dealer?! those rims are so hard to find now a days. even i have to make a long a$$ trip to asia to find some mugen stuff in 1:24 scale that is. :cwm27:

imolaEK>>> paint it the JDM green, forgot the exact name though.

ha ha! no, i'm not. i just happen to have a whole bunch of models that i never got around to building. the short story is i was cleaning my room when i started to get back into modeling and such, about the same time i registered here as well. so my plan was just to throw everything away but i started to look at all the goods so i kept what i wanted. so i have a few extra things here or there. not much, but some. and since i'm a honda guy at heart, you know i got some mugen goodies! ImolaEK just happen to ask me at the right time for those rims. i have like 3 sets so i decided i could give up one set to a good guy. i couldn't find the set i thought i had, so pulled those wheels off of a built model and sent them to Joeham to keep my word. sad thing is, i can't find the other two sets!!

bummer! so i guess you have all the mugen series from aoshima? haha... just wondering if you have the mugen accord at all, cause i have never seen the wheels from that kit. meh... i'm a honda guy as well, very much into mugen, can't get enough. though haven't done much honda kits, still have to get around on doing the ferios and the hatchies. btw are you going to make a replica of your white eg now?!

i used to have an accord like yours (i'm assuming the white one in your sig is yours). mine was a 92. i'm trying to locate a set of rims so i can make a replica of my EG. hopefully all will work out. i don't believe i've seen the mugen accord model from aoshima. is it the 94-97 US equivalent?

UMMMM.. That would be a 2 door civic in the F&F that robs the trucks.

UH...i haven't noticed that...

flw!see ya alll!

mrceej>>>it's a 93 wish they made a kit of it. as for the aoshima, yup it's the 94-97 accord wagon. from what i've heard and seen (box art though) it had this mugen rims. don't worry man i'm looking for those ewings too.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/Porsche_Carrera/MUGEN_RG_4.jpg

they look like the RNR with a center cap. man, now i'm gonna have to look for this model. my buddy told me about that one now that i think about it. but the one he pointed out was low rider style, what i remember is that the body still had the mugen kit on it.

PS the way you have your's done is exactly how i wanted to do mine, that is if i still had it today(totalled april 19, 1996)

Thanks Imola ek! I'll be sure to keep my eyes out.

Those rims are indeed included in the Mugen Wagon kit.:) I have a set packed away somewhere...

:eek: maybe ImolaEK would want those for his next build, that is if he continues with the honda line up. :grinyes:

Lex: I tried soo hard finding that Japanese Honda Green. I did find the Honda Hampsted Green which i'll be using on an SIR-II kit i am working on little by little. I never knew about that Aoshima Mugen Accord, must be awesummmmm.

Cee J: You already know! I am open to all Mugen wheels, except those really old ones you showed me:lol: The future for me looks like this...Honda Accord Sedan(Tamiya), Honda Civic HB SIR-II(Fujimi), Spoon Sports Honda Integra Type R (Fujimi), Mugen Honda Integra Type R(Fujimi), and my ultimate track DC2-R(Fujimi) Im trying to get a set of individual Mugen RNR's! If anyone wants to sell me a set please PM, cough CJ cough:lol:

Im loving this thread! Keep posting guys:lol: Most threads around here only reach 2 or 3 pages:/I feel awesome ideas flying around! :cwm27:

hey... i'm planning to use that same color for my SiR-II hahaha! as for the other green what do you think of this... base coat of gold then paint over metallic (dark?) green. do you think it will look like the JDM color?

mrceej>>> hmmm... got me curious. what are those old mugen rims you have? the one from the tamiya mugen crx?!

Hey! I have the decals for those seats! I had that Prelude, it netted me those rims and the decals! My CRX will rule!

lex-yes they are the ones included with the mugen crx pro 1 by tamiya

joeham-*cough* they *cough* aren't *cough* for *cough* sale *cough* or *cough* trade *cough* ha ha LOL! :lol2:

for everyone else, i'm trying to make a mold of certain things so that everyone can share the parts. i haven't started yet, but the mugen RNR's are among the "to fabricate" list.

Those rims are indeed included in the Mugen Wagon kit.:) I have a set packed away somewhere...

Yes, the Mugen RGs are included in the Aoshima Accord Wagon...I love MUGEN :naughty:

Hmm, maybe i should try Alpine Green Pearl over light Driftwood Metallic. :iceslolan If i do anything, i'll let you guys know :biggrin: If only i knew how to mix colors.

Joeham, those wheels match the car perfectly. And willimo, your crx will look killer with those too. I noticed it in the background of your fit WIP. I also have a set of those. I am keeping them on the prelude though. As soon as I repaint the body, I'll post some pics. Since you people are showing some old wheels, how many of you out there have some 94-95 gs-r wheels? Like these.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/42491gsr.JPG

I've always wanted those. Came with the Integra SiG right?

ex-r>>> cool! had one of those from the SiR(?!) integra, but i can't remember what i did with them. i modified that integra that's why, though now i wish i had used the stockers. dagnamit! btw... what engine do you have in that del? any pics?

Since this thread has become a big Honda part swap meet, do either of you (ex-r or mrceej) have a spare big CRX decal from the Fujumi Cyber Sports model? I need one for each door for true '89 sport style.

Thanks for the tip on those wheels, but they are too smooth (I think) for the chunky 89-92 CRX.

And, for one last tidbit, www.iloveracing.com has some Mugen M-12s for sale, and I don't think those are still around anywhere else. Linky (http://www.iloveracing.com/index.php?cPath=47_39&osCsid=e4179177798589b818d5903d8f7d7355) Those look mad hot on Accords, I might should get a set for my Fujimi wagon + JACCS Accord = street sedan.

Oh, and your model looks great, Joeham. Lest we lose sight...

WHOA! PHATTY FIVES! Man BlownCivic would love a set of those! Too bad i wasn't modeling at the time the SIR-G came out. I wish i could get my hand on one someday. How about an engine bay pic of that Delly:) What color is that BTW.

Joe>>> any progress?! mugen ferio!

willi>>> think i have that decal that you are talking about. is it the one from the fujimi mugen pro2 cr-x? if it is, then i have to look for it in my stash.

Yeah the wheels are from the SIR-G integra. I have a pic here on AF somewhere, I'll see if I can find it. The engine was done waaaaayyyyy before the Revell integra/civic came out. Joeham the color is the stock del sol green (samba). I used automotive paint for it.

Ok, I found the pic.

somebody likes robotech/macross...a man of good taste and interest.

willimo-i believe i have those decals as well. if not, i'll make some if you don't have them by then. sounds like a killer crx will be here soon.

This kit that decal:

Wow! Scratchbuilt! Nicely!

Ok guys so now i am ready to go painting. I just received my order of Mr Retarder Mild for my paint. I'll be mixing that with the Dupli Color paint and hope to get a good result. Here is some inspiration, the bottles of retarder placed over the box of the Ferio:)
My flash went crazy on this picture:lol:
