They are late, but my pics are finally here

Yes, about 80 pics taken today. Dont write comments until i get all the pics up(I'll say when). I would love some feedback, since I went though a lotta BS just to get these here. And all my cars have Japanese license tags, or European ones. No 2 cars have the same tags, except the dealers. Tell me if you want some. And the ones with a stripe are dealer tags. I will only do 1/24 tags. If you know a site that would like these pics, or you have one, tell me if you want one of my modded cars on there. Enjoy. Thanks. If all dont show up, just right click>show picture.

My Hotwheels 1/18th Civic TunerZ- It was gold now its white, and de-riced. You'll like it. If you have one, or seen it, you know just how ricey it is. You also see that nothing remains stock
This is it after mild modding

THE TRANSFORMATION
The Civic while in the "paint shop"

The interior was rice, but I gave it S2000 seats, and wheel, and replaced the orange theme with red/black/gold

quarter view showing de-riced lights

looking good

This is the custom divorced wastegate

This is a clearer view of the rear

The motor has been detailed


My 1/18th HW Ferrari Barchetta
New wheels, body color front lip, and interior trim red, as well as the "CF" hood. Yes, the rear meats are fatter than the front.
Side

wheel detail

Sweet

Interior trim

Black hood

Time for the Civic's and Teg's. I know DJ Noodle will like em.

A nice EK hatch, got it from Orlando last month . Best. Place. EVER.
I did the wheels. Its actually 1/28.


MotorMax DC2 Type R White- wheels white, interior detailed, has Euro plates, and Euro spec turn lenses.
Simple




The Yellow modded one, now has Viper steering wheel, as youll see. Has tach from 1/18th HW Civic and part of roll cage(both fit this scale better). This is a full race car, no passenger and gutted.

You can easily see the cage, tach on dash, and the steering wheel in these shots. I hope you can appreciate this work.






The outside of it.
Nice view, look at that muffler

The mirror-like Acura sign across the hood/fenders.

Nice mods

You lookin' at me!?!?!?




Comparisons of the White Teg(very lightly modded) and the yellow Teg(highly modded)
Japan tags, German tags,

Lowering, it does wonders for looks, eh.


My red MM Civic Si, near stock, detailed fog light surrounds
Side, inside

Side, outside

The H has been removed, and the fogs detailed


Comparisons of the Red and Yellow Si's.
My custom Type R lights VS stock


The yellow Si. It was blue when I got it.
Front, the bottom says HONDA

another, different setting.

The interior, red accents

The engine bay/front

Side

Side 2

Its time to say "GOODBYE"


The end

Glad to hear from ya DJ. Since I know you like the MM Civ/Tegs, I decided to give those a larger section, so you could see exactly what I did to them. I bet you didnt know the Integra and Civic went that far on mods, heh? You want some of the Japanese plates? You or anybody say the word and you got some. So, noone else has anything to say? Any likes, or dislikes, how did I do something?

yeah, i'd like to know how u lowered ur rsx!..does it still roll??..i just got one in black..the engine bay is pretty detailed for a 1:24 scale..also, i'd like to know how you made those japanese license plates..did u just print it out, etc?..those look very good!.. oh and btw, when u lowered the rsx, did you do any cutting? gluing?...i want to lower it, it's so high right now..and i want to do a clean job of lowering it ..

oh ya, how'd u make the roll cage for ur yellow integra?..looks nice ..

i also have a 1:18 scale s2000 like yours too, haha..mine's yellow tho, im thinking of just keeping it the way it is for now..but anyways, i like ur 1:18 Civic, very clean job!..to bad there wasnt a way of having a stock bumper in the front tho, but besides that, that model is awsome..very detailed! i dont even think i cud do such good work on an 1:18..i think they're to big for me to work on for now heh..just 1:24 scales at the moment..havent done much to them tho..just repainted the gunmetal integra, needed another coat..

<--your models

The tags. It was a little more involved than that for me, but thats all YOU will have to do. Tape both sides before cutting them, that will "laminate" the tag. The Integra's bars are from the 1/18 Civic, cut down a little bit. It fit perfectly, the bars across the top of the windsheild meet behind the mirror. The bends already matched the shape, so that was coincidence. The rest of those bars are in the RX-7.
Yes, the RSX is easier to lower than any MM. With the front, just cut off any material in front of the pedals. The rears, you need locktite. Snap the white plates off the top of the axles, and you will have height adjustment. This does cause alot of camber, so you might not want to slam it like my Integ-R. Find the position you want, then lock it with the glue. You can do that to the front, at the expense of turning. The wheels will still roll. Here are the tags I made. They were sized right for 1/24 when I made em, so they should be good.

The tags are Tax Free tags, indicated by the roman letters. Dont worry about those 2 older tags.
