Honda Civic Coupe

I am building this as a replica of a 1:1 car I built but sold last year. So far I have sprayed down Tamiya Mica Silver on the body. I modified the front bumper to get rid of the fog light inserts and make it look more like a regular bumper. The interior is some dark grey that I had in the paint supply. I sprayed suade paint on the seats, armrest, and door panel inserts to give it some texture then sprayed the grey over it.
More to come. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for all the comments

Heres a little update and some extra pics. This is what the car looked like when I sold it. The engine pic is a little old. It had a red valve cover and a differnet intake manifold when it was sold.

Heres what I got done so far. Painted and polished up the body. It still needs window trim and some detailing. Detailed the dash and made a steering wheel (might redo it though). It had a detachable steering wheel. The last pics is some isc parts that are either scratch build or resin painted with various Alclad aluminum shades.

Where are you gonna get
those rear wheels from?
Tell me please cuz I
want to get some.

It looks to be comimg along very well!! Keep up the detailing work in the engine bay and it will be a wimmer for sure!:sunglasse

Amazing havent seen any Japenese cars with braided line on here before. Sure there has but anyway awsome work so far!

Nice 1:1 car :evillol:

Thansk for the comments. Ill post more pics soon.

suicidehummer-- Im not going to use the rear drag slicks. Im going to build it to look like the street ride.

Ooooooooooooooh.
Do you know where I could get some, though?

sweet looking ride you ,model and 1:1

The motor parts are top notch, and your detailing on the dash is excellent! :D

Ooooooooooooooh.
Do you know where I could get some, though?

At this point, no. I have never seen any like that.


Thanks for all the comments. progress has slowed a little because I am finishing another project. I hope to have more progress soon!

sUICIDEHUMMER here are the wheels you are looking forhttp://www.detailmaster.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=detailmaster&Product_Code=SRP-8003&Category_Code=SRP

Looking awesome, good attention to detail and the motor is going to be awesome!

Looks good! Once suggestion though, from the pics of the seats, if you shave off the flash that sits between the edges of where the two halves meet, it would look great!

A couple of people have told me the same thing. I think I might just have to redo the seats. For the seam line reason and also the headrest are SI headrest. My civic headrest dont have the whole in the middle.

What turbo are you running btw? I see you have slicks.

I wanna say it is a 60 or 61 trim Precision Turbo

Heres a little update. Most of the motor is together. it will get dropped in pretty soon. Heres a crappy pisture but you get the idea.

Nice! Engine looks fantastic, I like the aftermarket mods. AFPR is a nice touch :thumbsup: Looks great, I'll keep an eye out for more!

thanks daklunk

This thing is amazing gave me inspiration to build a civic.

is that turbo going to fit in the engine bay? you may need to make it mount a little closer to the engine block.

looks great though!!! seriously. I may build my ITR and boost it, I have a few turbo's laying around, and that manifold you have is BEAUTIFUL!! I may have to copy it. i'm guessing the tube coming up from the turbo, on the mani is the wastegate?

again, outstanding, I can't wait to see this finished!!!

Engine looks amazing.

Thanks everyone. I actually finished this one up today. I should have pics up by tomorrow.

rsxse240--as hard as i tried to mount the turbo closer it was just a pain. That was actually the second manifold i made. That one brought it a little closer to the block. That mani is base on the one made by South Florida Performance. You can look them up for refference pics.

looking good
