4 cylinder acura super car

[geckoman1220]

I got this crazy idea today. a mid engine, rwd, k20 engine, acura integra type-r.

Do you think it would be hard to do, I'm not talking full opening trunk or anything. I'm just thinking making it a two seater and showing the engine through the rear windshield.

so good idea or bad idea

your model.
do what you want.

I think just diving into something like this is the best way to learn how to (or better yet) how not do something.
I've mentioned this before but two of my earliest projects involved opening doors, scratch building chassis + engine and major body work.
One was a 996 GT3 with open doors.
The other was a mid-engined, open doors Yaris.

This was when I didn't have the correct tools or the correct materials or the correct/sufficient amount of research details to back up the work I wanted to do.

Both are definite "failures" in that neither was finished.
That is not to say I didn't learn a lot though.
I've still got the two wreckages in a box that I take out from time to time and see how I would do it now if I tried again.

Yes! But with an NSX motor would be more kick ass... Something like the W12 golf concept. But go for it! However it comes to.

Don't be put off by challenges. It's okay to be a little over your head at times because that's part of the learning process. Just as drunken mokey has said, you can learn a lot even if the project fails. Simply put, you would have added to your skill sets. Here's something that I tried along the same FF to mid-engine lines:

It ended up being a rather rough personal introduction to heavy scrathcbuilding as I ended up scratchbuilding about 95% of the project even though I could have used aftermarket resin and photo-etched parts. The Volkswagen twin-turbo V-6 was scratchbuilt as there wasn't a kit that I could have taken it from. Definately not "museum" quality but I certainly learned a lot! Good luck should you decide to take the plunge.
