In Progress: Integra Type R

[SidewayzS15]

Been awhile since I've made a post, so i decided ill update the community. Currently i have started on an Integra I intend to go all out on. I am planning on doing buddyclub2 front and rear kits and running some clean sideskirts with them. The wing i might be doing a wrap around that will connect to the widebody, of the 3 piece that comes with the kit. Eitehr way I am still doing the body kit. The interior plans arn't solid yet, but i am thinking of turning the whole rear seat area into a fiberglass system, much like the one in my blazer. Other modifications might be a gt steering wheel and tachometer, and some other shit like magazines, cd's, etc. Still not sure on paint color, but im sure it will come to me after i get the body work done. Well enough talk here are some pics






I apologize for the darkness of the pictures.

Oh, one more thing. If anyone has any supra taillights, with or without buckets, and/or focus headlights with or without buckets please hit me up here, on aim, or drop a pm. Lemme know what you think!

Very Nice start Ricky. Your plans sound like this should be an integra like no other here. The wrap around wing sounds like a cool idea since this is going to have some bodywork.

thanks for your kind words on the early start of this. Bring different is hard to do nowadays, especially with this car. Im still making templates and whatnot for the wide body, but i think im goig to hold off until i finsih the front kit.

Maybe thats why there is a lack in posts lol its all good though i jus started yesterday, im workn on the outerholes of the kit now

[SidewayzS15]

Here is some more progress. The front snapped off so i had to reposition it, i hope its cenetered lol. I am going to melt some plastic in behind it so it will be stronger. Here are the 2 outer holes enjoy

It's still looking good. Your might need some pretty big wheel for this, But I don' now for sure.

good start, cool project

[SidewayzS15]

Yea im thinkn i might be running with some 20s if i can find a nice pair, but i think 18s will do since most of the tuner rims are about 18s. Well here are some new pics Tonight i will have the front kit all laid out and get some putty on the seems. Not the left side is a little bumpy from the soldering iron when i was adding some melted plastic to strengthen it

lookin hot so far, more pics please. LOL...

Soldering iron? What on earth are you doing?!

[mike@af]

What in the hell are you doing with a soldering iron? Just a tip, get rid of the spot putty. One part putties like that that cure by evaporation are horrible because they continually shrink. So on and so forth, long story short, they can screw up a perfect paintjob.

Looks good so far.

the soldering iron was used to melt some f the tree sprues to the back of the styrene sheets to connect it to the body for added strength. Also i have been looking for the tamiya putty but i have not been able to locate it, luckily i havnt run into any of the cracking or shrinking problems mentioned earlier, then again i use it on small areas, not a big ditch. As far as pictures go i will most likely have some new ones up tomorrow night. Tonight i have some homework left from the weekend still and school comes first so. Front kit will definetly be done tomorrow night, and i might start work on the rear kit Also if you know a cheap place online to buy the tamiya epoxy i willget some, though i dont really like ordering online, but it seems to be a last resort here. Thanks for looking!

Ditch the soldering iron and just use model cement instead. Also, a few months from now you will run into the cracking. My old 1/43 Del sol has cracked where there was a little bit of spot putty.
