please answer my questions i have plz because i really need to now so i can make this civic my best car i got
thanks

pritty sik... i like the graphix, u did a good job, i dont no the answers to ur Qs tho srre

Sweet looking car! I don't have answers to questions 1 and to, but for 3, I'd paint the cover the same yellow as the car.

As for my suggestions, I recommend getting some chrome paint (either AlcladII or Duplicolor) and painting the roll cage with it. I'd replace the front wheels with some bigger slicks too, if they'll fit. Those graphics are simply bad ass! I think they would've looked better on a black car with CF hood though, but yellow still looks good. Like the blacked out head and tail lights too. I'd also paint you spark plug wires yellow or black. Yellow would show better.

looks greAt

this a revell kit?

isnt that the Hotwheels Diecast Civic?

looks good though

looking pretty good

So your planning on a TwinTurbo? The other intercooler pipe should go to the same pipe the first pipe went to, im not totally correct.

yes, ure right

i suggest you paint the engine head orange :sun:

not bad but when you said drag i expected to see a blower on it.:rolleyes:

thanks for some of the tips and suggestions. i think i might paint the front part of the seat yellow like the car and the back flat black until i find cf decals.
also can anyone give pics of the intercooler pipes installed plz cuz i have 2 ways of doing it and i need pics to see the engine with an interccoler.
thanks more comments and suggests are still welcome:D
thanks

this is the hotwheel civic si..I got the same at home but in green!!:rolleyes: NIce job!

The waste gate should come out of the exhaust manifold. Some turbo manifolds for civics have the waste gate come out of the manifold with an equal length pipe so that it kind of matches the resr of the manifold pipes. and some of the older cast manifolds just have the waste gate sticking out of the top and kind of bent of to the side. as afr as the twin turbo thing goes, why are you doing that. There are very few twin turbo civics out there and it is kind of pointless, be cause when it all comes down to it the fastest civics are the single turbo guys. If you go twin you are just making to much work for your self.


Also what model did that motor come from?

what motor did you use

here are some exausts im am thinking about buttin on there are alot to choose from but i just have no idea on what 1 to use so ya here are the pics:

heres 1 where it comes out from the back bumper
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/126140Picture32.jpg
heres the 1 that looks the most like a drag car's exaust. also i know the other ones are not drag exausts but i think some of them look really good so i would like you guys to tell me which one to pick cuz i really need some advice, and i also have pics (scroll down) of what the waste gate i think is on an integra but the pics are in a magazine but there are clear so here:
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/313758Picture33.jpg
and also.....
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/980462Picture34.jpg
thanks for readin all this i really need to know how to do this.

i think the big can will be good, the twin exhaust is too small and so is everything else.. the side pipes look bad on a civic, u could do twin exhaust coming out either sides of the frunt of th car do you know what i mean? it would just take some work but will pay off

a real drag car would not have the waste gate doing anything all fancy. Exhaust gases would instead exit the wastegate and leave through what is called a dump tube which woul redirect the exhaust away from the engine but nothing like that. When you buy a turbo kit like a greddy kit, the dump tube connects back to the downpipe. This is good because it is quiter and more environmentaly friendly. That means shit to real drag car. Instead they use what is called an atmosphere dump wjich basicly means get it away from the engine but still keep it free flowing enough to make horsepower. Check out old school jotech pics to get info. what motor did you use.

ok this is my fault when i said drag car i didnt mean like a really really drag car i just want it to have sort of race car look but have the engine to back it up. Also the only real reason i want a wastegate is because it looks really cool. As for the turbo or twin turbo iwas maybe thinkini do a superchager but i doubt that because i wanna us my supercharger i made on my s2000.
more comments please also with pics of civic engines that are tuned alot plz

what motor did you use. is it the revell integra motor or what

go for either the side pipes or the duel out the back.....both look great.

i didnt work cause you have but something at the end of the file name. Shows it in the properties.

The car is coming along nicely, keep up the good work. I personnaly like the s2000 exhaust best. Looks nice and proportional. There is not need for a fart can. They just look to obnoxious.

thanks for the comments and tips guys i think i going to try and get some more things done on the car soon.
thanks for the comments keep 'em' comin

My opinion is going with the Single Slanted Exhaust.

i dont know what kit you are using. Please tell me what kit it is and if it is 1/24 or 1/25 scale.

Good work there but I'd also suggest one exhaust pipe in the rear...

Sorry to answer that but since I'm sure for the answer I think there is no problem...

It is 1:18 scale.It's a diecast Hotwheels Civic SI...

Good luck

hare are some more progress pics:D i added an unpainted spoiler and some mesh on the hood tell what ya think
