Thanks everyone. It was about a four week project. As far as lowering goes, I modified the wheels and brakes so they tuck in the fenders. All of the stock suspension peices were used.

Fantastic looking model you have made there!

Excellent work

That's really nice there, very subtle too...great look, great stance, resisted the urge to add a huge rear spoiler. Which proves sometimes that less is more. This is probably the best Fujimi ITR I've seen.

Nice ITR.
Any more tips on how you mod the wheels and brakes

[MaxSE]

Beauty! nice choice of colours!
Well done!

[fullbloodchop01]

looks awsome, what did you use for the exhaust?

[integra818]

That has got to be the nicest itr I have seen on this site, and yes, I HAVE seen the ones with body kits
I would never imagine it was fujimi.

Is it type R? if so, the corners of the tial lights should'nt be orange. But it's okay, it looks nicer like that!

I agree with everybody here, that is one of the nicest JDM integs I have seen. I built one 2 years ago but yours inspires me to build another one with a more "updated look"

I like the color, it really goes! I have to say, it's pretty crazy without the spoiler!

You've got questions, I've got answers. Modifying the brakes and wheels aren't that difficult. Most Fujimi kits have brakes with a little spacer in the center which allows the wheels to spend freely. I had to sand down the center portion of the brakes so it would sit flush against the center portion of the wheel. Both front and back. It's pretty much trail and error.

The exhaust was made with two BIC mechanical pencils. I used the part that holds the eracer. If you look at it, the top half looks like an exhaust canister, the part right under that looks like the tip. Put the two together and you have the exhaust. Of course you have to break the pencil to seperate the part you need. Take off the eracer, empty out the lead, and break the piece right above where the lead clicks out of. The top half should be free, and you get new springs. Glue the two eracer ends together, cut to desired length, add some putty to the middle where the two connected, sand, spray with chrome paint (if desired) then add bare metal foil. I usually polish the foil once applied so I can get a realistic chrome look. That's all, just a little imagination.

I am so suprised to see this old thread floating around. This was one of my first few threads started when I joined AF. I guess I'll have to take some updated pics of all of my cars now that I'm somewhat of a better photographer. Thanks again for the comments everyone.
