Honda Integra Type R (Fujimi 1:24)

[nomad_fsoak]

It's my second Project, but first WIP here
This kit was supposed to be "fast, and no stressful job" that's why it isn't done perfectly. Some details could prolly be done better, but since it's build was supposed to be relaxing, and kit wasn't perfect itself (f.e. exhaust molded with all undercarriage of the car)

It's already almost at the finish line but i decided to show it anyway.
(sorry for some crappy photos, they were done with a bad lightbulb shining on the car)

It started as a box full of parts

What's different from other ITR kits are the extra decals:


Kit was molded quite well.





Rims:
white - stock, gold - Enkei RP-F1


I wanted it to like like that:


But i noticed many of these kits are done that way so i decided to do sth other.



Since it was hard to get PE brakes, i decided to mod the stock ones.



some test fitting of the interrior (it's already repainted to look better)




Since the stock ride height was almost off-road


I've decided to lower it


It's shorter by ~3mm. I used brass rod glued inside to strenghten and center the parts.

test fit:


I didn't wanted to cut lower arms so i decidet to do this modification (i used alu tube)



Another test fitting:


Suspension painted (the gold part inside the brake discs is a brass spacer to change the wheels offset)



Test fitting with paint on (TS-50 Mica Blue)



I know it has Orange Peel , but it will come off while i'll polish it (still waiting for paint to get hard enough)


Test fitting of front lights. (they arent glued, and one moved while i was taking photos)




I plan to make working lights so i'll add a clear rod inside of those lenses (that's why they have holes drilled) and LED's behind. I also think I need to use other silver paint (chrome) or BMF for the inside of those lights.

wow, great way to lower the car. Wheels sit nice and flush. Lower control arms and subframe are a little colorful but that's cool LOL
