Civic HB...drifter style
I used the bodykit it comes with and used a r34 stock wing. Gonna make a custom intake tube and redo the exhaust. Are there really civic drifters? Or is this a new idea? Thanks for looking.

Hate to break it to ya, but front wheel drive cars are not drift cars. Although they can drift by using the hand brake, it's not deemed as a real drift like you can do in a rear wheel drive car.
Have fun with it.

That looks pretty good. I like the wing for some reason.

im not a big fan of the wing to be honest... looks a bit over the top. i usually also tend to associate drift cars with rwd, forced induction and non-hbs

convert it to a RWD, then it would be sick !, sounds like a good project, not to fond about the wing, but, good luck.

quick update

Silver Metallic color. Flat White interoir with black accents.
Added items:
Skyline R-34 Wing
Cold Air Intake tube
Not much, possibly a few other engine mods, no turbo though...can't do them yet.

Anyone know how to camber wheels? Have never done it before. I think theses are like the ITR suspension.

Heres a few pics. I'm liking the color. Sorry for some of the pics being fuzzy...DC doesnt take very good close ups.

You can build it how you want...don't make us decide for you. Its still your model. If it were mine, I would not build a drift Civic because a) they are FWD and b) If you do drift a Civic, its called assdragging, which I wouldn't even consider drifting at all. But, don't let our opinions throw off how you'd build a model. My 2 cents.

Bout damn time. I agree, no FWD can really drift, they ass-drag!

You could've built a touge style Civic, but that would've meant something much more understated and functional.

As far as building a show style Civic, though, you're doing pretty all right.

Finished

THis was a pretty quick build. I like the idea of the carbon decal for the hood too... Tried to colorize the exhaust tip(the blue color fade). Added aluminum mesh to front bumper, and custom intake. Heres the completed pics. Outside pics come a little later. Thanks for watching.




CAI sticking out the bottom.
