Honda CR-X

[Tripmaster]

Hello everyone.

Tonight I decide to show you my one month old project. It wont be nothing special, but i will try to make it as nice as possible.

First of all, my reference pix:



Next is my work:











I did absolutly stupid thing, when i was working on a hood. I didnt put anything under that "hump" (or "hunch"?) and now a putty is always cracking

Enjoy opcorn:

What kit is this?

[Tripmaster]

Im sorry, its fujimi kit. Of course 1:24.

[badmonkeynobanna]

thanks looks like you have a good thing started are you going to redo the hood?

[Tripmaster]

I will try to finish it without redoing the hood, but It may crack after painting and this wont be good

I love these cars when they're nice and clean like that! No bodykits!!! Keep it comming!!

i agree, the fujimi kit should come with an optional "stock" hood

It Does, The One On The Kit Is Correct For A CR-X SI
It Has The Little "Bubble" To Clear The ZC Valve Cover.
The Kit Is Mostly Correct, But The Inner Door Panels Have No Detail!
I Wish Fujimi Would Have Updated To SIR When Did The Glass Top Update
The Cars In The Pics Are CR-X Sir's. The Differences Are:
Hood (Raised Center To Clear VTEC Valve Cover)
Front Bumper(Wrap Around Turn Signals)
Headlights( Single Element On SIR, Dual On All Others)
Sorry For The Rant, I've Owned Five 1/1 CRX's And Still Love'em!

Tripmaster: Great Work So Far! I'll Be Following This Thread!

Too bad about the hood, but it looks like it's coming along great. I love these little cars, and yours looks cool. I am looking forward to seeing this come together.

Correction about the headlights:

Si had a single bulb just like the SiR did. The real difference is that the light is slightly longer and comes out slightly further at the front.

Here's a pic of my real headlights:

Ahhhh CRX's are soo clean! This should come out nicely! Are you keeping the panda color scheme?

[Tripmaster]

evo8lover: thanks for explanation


mrceej: thanks for reference pics , but one of headlights on your photo (probably the SiR's one) have two bulbs but maybe I dont understand you


AllAlone.gz: yep, but the hood will be black, exactly as on the 2nd reference pic

[mrceej]

the two headlights i pictured are the exact same shape. the one with two bulbs is the US spec headlight, the single bulb is the Japan spec (possibly European) spec headlight. those two headlights are what the original model headlights reflect, the SiR headlights (like you have referenced) are actually more pointed/longer in overall dimension and come out slightly further. i was pointing out the difference to help with the accuracy of your front end work. i wish i had both a real Si and SiR headlight to show you the difference, it would make more sense if you saw them visually.

Hello everyone, Ive got kind of mini update. I havent done nothing goergeous, because of cold weather, until I moved my stuff into my room (I used to work in my garage before). I finally "redone" a hood. I just grab a dremell and sand down frist layer of plastic. Then I add filling sheet and cover it by thin plastic sheet (I hope you understand). But cracking is still driving me mad. I will glue it more for the future. Except this headache producer I did some work on blinkers and muffler tip. After all, you could see everything on pix.

just small info. after long long time, i was finally satisfied with bonet until i wash the car (as preperation for primer) and found that bonnet is asymetrical. now i had to putty it again and then all over and over again
