Looks nice, but why are the tires so big in front?

I like it! Great little details, like the faces on the lights and the engine work. I also really like the carbon hood, quarters, and door. Awesome work.

It's got big front tires because it's a drag car, and FWD.

There you go, surprising me again. I don't know what it is about your builds. I love the finished product.

You used the AMT WIDE goodyears out of their 1980's models...that's fine, since it's what you have on hand, but a set of slicks would take it to the next level.

I'm all for H swapped civics ^_^ so kudos with that. One complaint I DO have is that tire setup... those rears look friggin DINKY and the fronts look a tad TOO big, even for a drag civic. check out more pics of actual drag civics and you'll be spot on with this build. Also, a shaved valve cover would have looked a bit better IMO than penciling it in. If anyone knows what they're lookin at they could tell it's an H series by it's dizzy/vtec arrangement. Nice job on the H2B setup too ^_^

Other than me just being picky, GREAT JOB!! Nice job getting that CF perfect too.

^thanks for the c&c , ive been around alot of street racing , i know what size slicks would be correct for a civic , but when we talk about model car its a different ball game , i searched hard for the perfect set of wheels but most were way to big to fit the arch of the wheel wells , i also dont know how to customize rubber tires ......the best i can do but thanks , no problem over here heheheh................what exactly do you mean by shaving the valve cover instead of penciling it? not sure what you mean there....

but what I meant about the valve cover is from these 2 pics. your DOHC looks pretty good but it looks like you just penciled in the VTEC. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...t:429,r:11,s:0 see how small the VTEC emblem is compared to yours? Just for future reference

Nice work, I like the naked interior finish with the fuel pump cover detail.
Engine bay show a lot of work as well, and the scratch build H22 looks good too.

Nice work!
