Nice buy, I think the threads are a little to thick.

ya its does kinda look bad eh ... have to try some other tires! thanx

i got the same one in progress, what color are you going to paint it?

still figuring that out ... i like the look of the blue in the pic .... but other than that im not sure as of yet... suggestions?

Looking cool, The tires are a bit biggie. Try some Stock Fujimi ITR tires and rims, the are pretty small. For color, any color is cool:lol: This is a very basic kit, i can assure you that you won't have any problems with it :iceslolan I like how it provides decals for the windows, saves a ton of time. Only thing i can tell you to look out for are those A-pillars and B-pillars.

looks good, but the tires do look a little to big

ok thanx alot.. well i ahve decided that this is what i will be making .... now i was wondering if anyone can get ahold of these rotas .... if so please let me know or if you know where i can get them that would be good to .. thanx alot! Whatcha think?

Those GAB's were never made, i believe. The closest you could go is with stock ITR rims and painting the lip chrome. But, the ITR rims don't have enough spokes as the GAB's. Here is a pic of my try at black GAB's.

Those rims would look mad hot on that hatch, sneiser. I think if you did them red, it would be easier to overlook the innaccurate number of spokes in Imola's attempt. Perhaps if you sand the ends of the spokes (where they touch the rim) you could give them the contour you need, make the lip deeper, and the rims more convincing?

finally got it, after searching for awhile. huh?! sounds like a plan, but the closest one to those rotas are the 15" enkei es-tarmac from fujimi(10 spokes). good luck and hope to see more progress.

I built this kit about a year ago. Be careful with the a-pillars, they are very breakable. the one I bought had the a-pillars broken when i got it so i had to return it. The second one i bought i almost brok them. So be careful!!! :evillol:
Oh and those window decals are very anoying... :disappoin

well thanx for all your help ... i was on that site and i was signing up .... and it said it sent them to me? and i didnt even give them any credit card or anything lol .... but any way ... imola ek ... i was wondering if you could give me a quick tip on how to lower my beast ..... yours looks mint and i thought i would give it a try!

Yup, The Enkei ES-Tarmac are really close to the GAB's (Rota GT3's). With some minor surgery on the spokes (make them thinner and smoother) and a lip, you could get some really close replicas! Here is a picture of the undercarrage of my EG6 (if you want more pictures of it PM me). Hope you don't mind all the pictures:)

Do anything to get it low. :grinyes:

lol i shall try ... any tips?

a quote from VTEC-DA9. "to lower it, what you need to do, is follow the instructions like normal, but don't mount the brake disc onto the shocks. when everything is completed, and the body is mounted, take your wheels, mount them to the brake discs, and mount the entire assembly to your desired height. you will need to shave the back of the disc flat as it has tabs to line them up accordingly to the shock." hope this helps. good luck and the wheels are fine and it suits it well.

:iagree: Thats what i did with all of my Revell Civic's. The wheels look nice. The paint looks like it laid on very nicely.

well.. im in the middle of painting the lights on my civic .... now i was wonding how you guys put in the background of the lights ... you know .... like the part thats on the body .. as of now its the grey i painted it .... but i was wondering if i should fire the lights on just like that ... or put tin foil behind? or what ... if you could help that would be great! ... more pictures to come soon!

Paint them silver? Are you asking how to paint the headlights? I use Alclad Chrome on mine with an airbrush but you can also use Tamiya Silver Chrome, or any other silver's :uhoh:

ok so i just paint the housing chrome?

also i got his glue aka cement ... its meant for clear parts .. and it says window maker ... do you think that i could make the fog lights outta that or no?

i believe so:)

I don't know? Fog lights out of Cement?

ya.. its suposed to dry clear lol .... i dunno ... probs use a old headlight ... also ... anyone have a scale size advan and spoon picture that i can make into a decal?

The glue probly just dry clears so its ideal for things
like windows and other clear parts and wont fog
them up. I doubt you can make an actual light outof
it. Just use some scrap headlight plastic or
something.

ok .. thanx alot guys .... i have painted all the suspension so i will have some pictures soon im sure! thanx for all your help!

well i have been a little busy with work ... but i got some progress in .... the glass is in (needs to be cleaned) all the suspension is in along with everything else on the underbody... ummm just finisheing up on the interior... also i was wondering what i should do about the rear lights? should i paint the background or no? also what do you guys think about its stance?

there is also a peak at my next project in the last picture!
