Modelmikey Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hello all, I'm building another Revell Integra, my 3rd. Nice detailed kit, and the best of the Revell Honda's I.M.O. I went with a dark blue (still needs to be polished out) with flat black hood, no wing. I have 3 wheel/tire combo's i have narrowed it down too. The first option is a (?) stock type R wheel from a Japanese kit with Hasagawa tires, second is Fujimi Prelude wheels with Hasagawa tires, and third is XS tuning rims/tires. The first two choices not sure of a color (white or bronze I'm thinking) Opintions please! Also, Not happy with the kit header, I scrach built my own 4-1. Its 1/16" aluminum rod for primary runners, that feed into a thin (thinner then K&S tubing) wall electrical barrel end. The flange is .015" thick aluminum sheet, heat stain is sharpie marker. Ironically I don't have a lot of model building time, but wasted a few hours on this, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 3rd set of wheels look great.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-man Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Either the Type R wheels in white or gunmetal or the XS wheels in some shade of gold or dark charcoal. The header is spot on! Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchetman87 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Xs tuning wheels would be my pick. But i would lower (sorry im a customizer dont care for stock ride heights personally) the suspension just enough that wheels will fill out the wheel wells. Header looks awesome by the way a tutorial would be sweet to see on the header. Body looks good in that color as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelmikey Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 The header looks amazing, you should do a tutorial on another one....it's that nice!!!! Great job!!! I'll try to explain the header as best as I can I should have taken a picture or two along the way. I have W.I.P long tube headers for a '83 Camaro, I'll take a few pics along the way. This one, I bent up the 1/16" aluminum rod following the kits' stock exhaust geometry, making sure they cleared the oil pan. The flange is .015" aluminum sheet, I drilled the holes for the pipes with a pin vise, and for the 'V' part, I filed with a small triangle file. Where the tubes go into the collector, I filed each into a 1/4 circle as best as I could, made to fit into the collector. It was a lot of trial and error, but I will make the next ones faster. Glued with thick gel super glue. The heat stain is sharpie markers, and a very small amount of alcohol on a micro brush to make them blend. Cool thing is if you mess it up, just clean with alcohol and start over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPALA SS 427 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 love the colour and nice looking header, i think wheel set 3 looks the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 3rd set of wheels look great.. I agree. The first two sets look too small to me. And ditto on the header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
