Acura Integra S2000

[Scale-Master]

Built from a sectioned & narrowed Tamiya S2000 and a Revell Integra back in the early 2000's.   I found the photos last week while doing some spring cleaning.

It earned a 1st Place in a Custom Clinic Contest. It was spawned from a Common Kit contest at a local model contest. The Integra was the common part.

I purposely used the same size wheels and tires all around because neither platform would be all that conducive for this configuration. The front is a RWD car, and except for the exterior bodywork the rear is a FWD car. I guess it would be better as a RWD, but that's the beauty of curbsides...

I always thought it interesting how so many people thought it should be made in real life even though it could not be done logistically due to the platforms of the two cars and that they were different scales too.

Nice blending of the bodies! It has a very "natural" look to it. You could say that it's an AWD. It kinda looks like something that would be a competitor to the Nissan Skyline.

Great looking body work. As Plowboy mentioned the bodies blend together well. Very nice paint work also.

I remember seeing this when it was published.   Very cool!

For a "real life" car scale wouldn't matter.

That worked out very well. With the long nose it makes me think of the Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC400.
