Ok so the topic is slightly misleading 
Just a quick intro; my name's Trung, I used to work as a Honda Parts interpreter but now as a Speco Sales rep/exec. I'm a huge petrol head and a Toyota fanatic - having previously modified and tracked an AE92 Corolla and now a JZX100 Chaser, which has recently been retired. It so happens that I know Tom (ChargeR) from attending numerous track days and I'm sure you'll agree that his an 'round Mr.nice guy :P I joined the boards recently while looking for parts and track days but decided to create a thread as I'm now 'building' a new r/c body. Back in the days when r/c drifting was gathering pace, I was part of the RCD1 club that put on demos at AutoSalon and the likes but as the years went on, my interest diminished as I start modifying and racing real cars. Anyway, since I've stop racing the Chaser, out comes the trusty r/c! And so it's time start on a new body: a time-attack inspired Integra DC5R
The body is based on a Beams Integra so it comes with the Mugen kit. The chassis is a TL01: LA spec with pretty much all the fruit/mods.
Yep wheels with mexican spec fitment! I've only trimmed the wheel wells to see how it fits and what is required body wise. You'll see what I mean later on
Washed the body after finishing off the trimming and sanding. Note, I'm going for a 'outrageous' and 'full-on' look and so I had an idea..
..bolt on rear flares! Also ditched the wing for a Voltex version. I also masked off the bonnet to do a carbon style look later on. Excuse the masking tape, it's just to hold things in place to give me an idea of what needs doing.
Wing also has the raising stands fitted as well.
'Still in it's infancy stages and there's alot of work left to do but hoping to get it painted tomorrow, provided I can buy the paint if the stores are open. I won't tell you what colour so you'll have to check back, stay tuned!
