Hallo vriendjes.. :lol2:

you should use whatever b series motor is in the revell kits make it a mean honda!

That's some nice find. I've been loking for this model for a while now (my dad in-law owns this car).

Good luck on the progress.

ya i planned to put a B16A in it. can anyone tell me any 1/24 kits that come with a b16A or just B16??? Also i cutted most of the part in the front bumper out cause i plan to modify the front bumper to look mean

i think the revell civic kits have the b16 in them

Revell's line of civics, But they are 1:25 scale, It wont look as beefy :grinno:

What are the Revell's ITR's scale, are they in 1:24 or 25???

Yea, they are 1:25 as well.

well, now i am planning to go for the aoshima engine which has a cefiro on the cover, what do ur guy think????

keep it in the lines of reality, dont put a ceferio engine in it cuz u would never see a rear wheel drive 6 cylinder engine in a old prelude.. seeing the b16a in it would be cool tho!!

or how about a h22 from an acord or newer prelude model? ehh maybe there are no engine detail kits huh?

funky swap- new celica motor... =D

decision had been made!! i will get the revell's civic or ITR and modify the 1:25 engine into 1:24. I think it wont be hard, just need some plastic plate to extend it.

Nice :)

....or you can put the nsx V6 in it, just a thought. keep us posted!

sorry to tell u guy but this progress will take a while because the current weather in toronto is too cold for painting. and my family wont allow me to do it indoor, and i still need to purchase a revell civic or ITR and so resin casting material before this progress can continue.

take one of the revell engines and paint the valve cover blue like the h22 it would be sweet

Be interesting to see how it turns out as i used to own one of these years ago!!

Nice job on finding this kit as I too know how rare it is. I bought mine about 5 years ago because at the time it was the only honda I had seen with a motor. I kitted mine out pretty good also because I wanted it to look more like the 88-91 body style. Just a tip, once you have the ITR model for the motor you can use the plastic from the parts tree to accomodate the motor in the prelude, It should not take to much extra plastic. Good luck!!

RX-7's stock rim, what do u guys think???
http://img227.exs.cx/img227/3375/picture0450ea.jpg
engine, test fit, although it is a 1/25 engine, but it seem like a 1/24 when placed in the prelude, wut do u guys think??

and finally, convert the automatic trans into manual trans cause i think manual suit the prelude more

and i plan blue colour for this project

nice progress! keep it coming!

Look great.
