ITR, Turbo,...

[86_SR5]

...RHD. Well, here she goes, I started with Revell's lhd 99 itr tuner kit, and here's what I'm aiming for: 99, JDM, imported, rhd, turbo street racer As you all know, converting the lhd to rhd dash is a bitch, so out came a dremel, and out came my spare fujimi rhd dash, yea, yea, the years are diff, but it fits just fine! The body would be painted now, but had to sit in CSC for 3 days straight! Damn boyds grey primer!! So, while it was sitting in it's bath, I went to wal-mart(what would we do without wal-mart?!) And picked up 3 can's of duplicolor. The body filler/primer in grey, Ford Racing (light blue cap), and some clear. While I was modifying the interior to fit the rhd dash, I decided, ya know, who needs a back seat in a sports/race car? So, out came the dremel again and before I knew it the back was gone, and using 30 thousandths thick plastic card, I constructed a rear deck. Nitrous will be added.






Interior mods include: Rear floor, rhd dash, white faced gauges, short shift, recaro seats, race wheel, and 10 pt cage, in construction.

Suspension & wheels: no pics of this stuff yet, just some chrome brakes that will recieve some blue for the endless look.









BTW, wheels are from the revell civic hb, chrome has been stripped, tamiya white and lacquer clear added. SPECIAL THANKS TO TONIO FOR THE WHEELS
So...if this badass is gona be a tuned up jdm street racer, it needs power......riiiggghhhttt???



YUP!













BTW, the cam gears do show, the valve cover just needs to be trimmed to see them.

So, anyway, this puppy, has it in store. Mods include: Big turbo, size of the tranny , lag you say ; that's what the laffing gas in the back is for! Will also feature intercooler, open turbo housing, hey, filters just hold you back!!

BTW, the paint isn't nearly as bright as it seems, it has a subtle look to it. Oh, and I'm almost done doing the accents in the bay, I did all the silver, now it needs red, white, and black.

Hood:



Painted in gloss black, wet sanded with 2000 grit, needs clearing.




Hope everyone likes it.

Oooo, almost forgot, here's a quick teaser:

WoW. I wish I had same skills, when I was building 3 of mine ITR

[86_SR5]

thanks guys. not even up 10 minutes and already 2 replies! YAY! That's a new thread best! Might see an update tonight.

[jgmodelcars]

looking pretty good, just one question does the exhaust feed to 2 turbo inlets? or whats going on there? keep up the good work!

[t.vo408]

i think the right side of the turbo is the exaust inlet, and the left is te intake. or vice versa. nice!!! so what'd you use for the turbos?

[mstngcobrasvt98]

The turbo looks confusing to me..... But looks good so far. Keep it up.

Hate to be a nit-picker but I seem to be the Honda die-hard around here (a title I would share with Jay had he not bought a Subaru). But if you are using the Revell Integra, it's not imported unless a front end conversion happened. The US market and Japanese market Integras were very different in the front, for all years. The Japanese had squarish headlamps very similar to the previous generation of Integras, while the US had the familiar two round ones. To me, that is more than just a nit. Sorry, I'm not trying to be an ass or anything.

But otherwise, not only is this a thread best.... I think it's a modelling best. This model looks great so far, I love what you've done with the motor. Its gonna look slick as all hell. I've got a turbo B18 in the works, too, but I don't know what I'm gonna put it in. Are you gonna use the click pen top for your turbo like Spoonman Dos did? That'd be sick! Can't wait to see it done, man, looks like it's gonna be killer. I'm always a sucker for motor detail.

thats bad ass man, keep up the good work

Looks pretty cool, did you make the turbo? If so how, Im working on making a 4G63 for my eclipse and need to know how to make a turbo.
Keep up the good work and if you can help me with making a turbocharger that would be great.

[t.vo408]

willimo, they also sold the 4 round lights in the land of the rising sun it had considerably more sales then the type Arrrgggh which is why theybrang the 4 round lghts here. so its possible, but if the conversion is not done then it can't be a JDM ARRrrrGh its had to be a US aRrgHh. =)

US guys are putting the JDM front on there ITR's.
So why shouldn't the japanese put USDM front on their JDM ITR's?

I don't know if that does really happen but it could be possible.


Tre cool project.

[fujimituner235]

I was wondering are you going to be painting this integra that baby blue color like you have the engine bay.
