1995 Fujimi Honda Integra R opinions?

[sausage]

Does anyone have any comments on the accuracy of this? It's quite an old one by Fujimi, and I'm wondering if there're any unopened vents, incorrect interior, etc.



I kind of prefer the old integra to the new one.

I did that kit few yrs back...

The grill btw the headlights are not open.. the main grill in the centre in the bumper is open.. the 2 side vents on the bumpers are not open also...

As usual.. fujimi style... :o pram wheels... u need to lower it or add some gd wheels to make it look good. There's a kit on the Singapore Yahoo auction site... going for $17... he opened the vents and grills already.. perhaps u wanna have a look at it before buyin it frm him... if it's done well... seems like a reasonable price ya..

Keep us posted if u are into the project..

1st off, the kit is good, has some nice detail, but it's curbside which sucks.
2nd-The window placement sucks, they don't fit as good as they should
3rd-interior sucks and doesnt fit like it should.

The wheels are cheap, small and skimpy! So that's why I've made it into this so far.
Chopped the hood, driverside door and trunk out, they are all going to be hinged up

This kit is a relatively accurate replica of the body style, but the wheels are about 2 sizes too small, as been mentioned. The decals are good, though, and although the detail in the interior is sparse, I did not have any fit problems

I had alot of fit problems.
Maybe I got a bad kit? That's the reason why I tore it apart and put a roll cage in it. I'm adding neon lights as well, "real" neon lights, NOT l.e.d.'s

Where'd you get your neons?

Are they supposed to be open on the real car? I've never had the chance to get a good look at the JDM DC2 bumper. I just know that similar vents on Civics and the S2000 are not open on the real cars, either...

You can say that again! Biggest drawback of this kit is the ultra-simplified interior.

The rest is pretty accurate... unless you're nuts for big wheels like these guys...

Isn't the interior of the real car quite basic as well?
I'll definitely be adding bigger wheels, the included ones look incredibly small. Are there any sites showcasing body kits for this car?

I bought the kit only a week ago, seeking for a possibility of making the engine kit in resin. The kit is Fujimi standard, a typical curbside kit with a tub style interior. I don't see any trace of recycling a Skyline chassis on this one.
The kit looks accurate, so is the wheel. The 95 ITR had 15" wheel, and tire was 195/55R15, and the kit wheel is about 16", and that's why it looks so small by today's standard, and it's even evident in 1/24. Using aftermarket 17 or 18" wheels, it should look good.
BTW, 98 spec DC2 had 215/45ZR16, and DC5 has 215/45/ZR17.

Sounds good. I'll pick up the HyperRev Integra edition to go along with it.

BTW, Hiroaki, are Fujiumi prelude kits still common in Japan? I can't find any of them here, and the go for US$35+ on ebay.

You should consider getting the Spoon DC2 ITR instead, it comes with the Spoon wheels , a nice front lip and some extra decals..

I've cut apart the front panels on mine, including the hood, to see if I can cram in the Revell ITR motor. With the way the wheel wells are molded in such a blocky manner, there's hardly any room to fit the 1/25 scale motor on the 1/24 scale floor pan. I'm thinking I'll have to gut and rebuild the wheel wells...

Do let me know if you have any fantastic insights into the matter...!

Thats looking really good but, how come you are using the interior from what looks like a nascar?
