[christhn]

[food123]

[viperkilla]

Here is a link for pictures of the civic body kits.

Hehe...Not much to look at now, but come back in about 24 hours.

[XSupraStar]

What color are you going to paint it? Wait like your gonna tell us, your gonna leave us hanging till the very last minute. I hope to see JDM style headlights on that baby...
-B

[Bad Company]

Well, it's nothing special. I was going to paint it all pure white, cuz I think bodykitted Civics in white look really good, but after seeing the first few coats, I'm not too sure about this one. I may scrap it and start over.

When you take paint off what do you use to wipe it off? I use goo-gone. Do you use things like oven-bake cleaner?

[Bad Company]

To be honest, I have never removed paint from one of my paint jobs. I have used that Castrol Super Degreaser to remove paint from Zips. I'm not removing this one, just gonna keep going and see if I can salvage it.

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

i plan on painting my civic with Milano RED..the same factory color on my car... since i have the paint my front bumper i'll just use the excess paint :)

[A.C. SUBY]

after seeing the civic, i think i might have found a new one to purchase, either that of another form of r/c car, mini Z or tamiya expert built 4wd subaru wrx.

[viperkilla]

Any progress on the civic? I cant wait to see how it comes out.

[an6e1o82]

Here's my Chameleonish metalic purple/blue Civic next to my painted Supra.

[an6e1o82]

heres the side View.

[an6e1o82]

The front. I blacked out the housing on the lights.

[an6e1o82]

oops. here

[an6e1o82]

And finally. the rear end of it.

[4G63T]

wow:eek:
tell you the truth i don't really like civic....:rolleyes: but this one is truly peace of art!

great work keep it up

[Bad Company]

Very nice work! I like the color too, what is it? Nice job on the headlights lenses.

[an6e1o82]

I used a really light coat of pearl purple directly over the black.I sanded the gloss off. (i can still see the liscence plate and logos. The paint's really for lexan bodies. Then I went over it with clear gloss pearl. I was kinda iffy about the color at first but when I drove it and saw the colors changing from turn to turn I loved it after that. Hopefully i can do a direct fullfilment on a body kit sometime soon.

Thanc Angelo.

[viperkilla]

Great work man! I like the coat of paint on it. You did a good job of masking. I want to know why your civic is lop-sided to one side. What happened?

[str8 del ghetto]

he should try making altezzas in the back!

[danny_v_l]

did u um..... lower it in the front

[an6e1o82]

i lowered the front a little bit. In the pic i just had it slammed as far as it can go. I made a custom front mount to fit the supra and the civic b/c my other chassis broke. the chassis the civic is on is my old supra chassis. it's all stripped of parts and its basically wheels and thats about it. When i put the civic on the chassis that works its a little higher.
*Angelo

[4G63T]

o ok :D
now it makes sence

[txbart]

If you Guys want a way to remove Paint from Plastic, use Oven cleaner (easy -off). It doesnt work on 100% of the paints out there but when it does work it works great. Only a little bit of scrubbing to get it all out of the crevaces. This works well and safely on Plastic model bodies and parts, The Xmod bodies seem to be made out of the same kind of plastic so..... But if you do use Oven Cleaner, wear Vynil gloves 'cause it will eat your skin.

don't like civics too much....but this one is very nice
good job:)

[XSupraStar]

Hey JDMXMOD you forgot one important item. JDM headlights, they need to be smoked... But otherwise heck of a job, i like it alot.
-B

[viperkilla]

How'd you paint the rims?

[Bad Company]

I didn't do much to this one, it is my next 6 cell car I will actually take outside and run around in. I used mostly the wild body kit, but I painted in some of the silver vents...had too much of a smiley face as someone else put it. Basically, it looks like it just has the intercooler in the front now. I also painted the wheels chrome.

[Bad Company]

Front...

[Bad Company]

Rear...

[XMODSaretheBEST]

Nice job. You planning on painting it??? And where do you buy chrome paint.

[Bad Company]

No, I 'm not going to paint anything else on this one, it is going to be run outside a lot. The chrome paint came from Wal Mart....in the house paint section. It is made by Krylon, called original chrome. Whatever you do, don't apply clear to it afterwards, it will actually make the paint dull and grey looking.

[Chad Rump]

BC, you should make dual exhaust for your civic. Especially wit that rear bumper, since there are 2 openings

[Bad Company]

Here is my newly lowered Civic...

[an6e1o82]

Doesn't the front rub on the wheel well when it turns? I lowered mine and it rubs so bad it stops the wheel. I had no choice but to raise it. Its still lower than stock but its still pretty high.

Oh yeah, did you dremel the back mount so it sat lower? or did you do somehting else?

[Bad Company]

I used the Skyline front tab and removed some of the support that the rear tab mounts to. The only time it rubs in the front is when I take a hard, fast turn and lean on the suspension. I have soft springs now, I'm going to try the hard and see how it does.

You can always dremel out the front fender enough, just like we do with the Zips.

[an6e1o82]

I'll try it out and see what happens.. I might have to make a custom front mount. The dremeling thing scares me. It might thin out the too much but i'll try it anyway.. I'm just woried about it going all the way through.

Thanx Angelo.

[Bad Company]

You shouldn't have to worry about going too far. There is plenty of plastic above the front fenders, all you would do is shave away a little at the top to clear for the tires.

[ZipRC]

many an age ago, i was taught a good tip on evenly sanding out the wheel wells in a ZZ, and i think they still stand for XMs. Take a shishkabob stick (ya know those wooden barbecue poker things) or something similar, and wrap a piece of sandpaper around the stick, and adhere it with tape or something. then, place the stick against the wheel wells, and begin sanding. this way, if you apply your pressure evenly enough, anything you do to one side will happen to the other because the other side is being rubbed w/ sandpaper also.

[GhettoFiedRacin]

im so loving the kit on the civics! I broke down and got one ... but not enuff money for the kit... o well .... i painted it a navy bluish to metallic saphire blue fade and fabbed up ghetto wing out of my lil cuzs pokeman cards! hell yeh straight ghetto. im gunna put another level on the one civic wing when i get the kit so it looks fresher. ill post pics so i can finaly race my new paintjob and not worry aobut it

[viperkilla]

Cant wait for pictures!

[4G63T]

[GhettoFiedRacin]

[miniDRIFTER]

BC, are the rims in the white Civic bronze? and are those the wheels that come in the upgrade kit?

[neurokinetik]

Where are the blue Civics? Doesn't anybody have one besides BC? :lol: I saw them here, locally, and I can say, the color is very nice. It is a metallic blue. Shame that they picked the ugliest parts for the Civic bodykits though. Especially the hood. A nice flat CF hood like the RSX has would have been much nicer than the Camaro SS wannabe that they included...

[wasuri]

ummmmm you don't see my post?

[neurokinetik]

Well, I might as well contribute my "blurple" Civic to the gallery.

Stock appearance, except for the white RSX wheels. (because this is the same chassis I use for the MINI)

http://users.adelphia.net/~neurokinetik/civic.jpg

Those with a sharp eye will notice something special under the hood. If you don't see it, take the top off your car and look at it. ;)

and if so could you post pics

XMODADDICT thanks for stickin up! I didn't think it looked to bad either....but I just couldn't refuse the choice.

Went out to RS and got me the blue kit.




http://www.angelfire.com/alt/dirtbikes1/weeb.JPG

[striker289]

dat is pimp. Maybe i should have gottena blue one instead of black. LOL

[kasper01001]

hey wasuri, I see noting wrong with it heck, one of my new xmod, a civic, is almost like urs, blue with black kit

[wasuri]

lol Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Also kasper01001 I agree....most people in my family on christmas didnt think it was bad at all. Yet I do think the blue still looks good.

Since I got the kit I decided to screw around with the stock body so I made it kinda like one that I saw on these very boards. (i forget who but props to you for the idea)

http://www.angelfire.com/alt/dirtbikes1/white.jpg

[97PrizmLsi]

I think im going to buy another body and do this old one orange. I had a crazy idea of molding an RSX kit onto the civic but it wont reach and I dont feel like bustin' out the bondo. Im going to head down to the hobby shop right now and see what they have in the way of tamiya paint and motors. Also doin the spin brush motor today.

http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/7/web/343000-343999/343651_44.jpg
as compared to that cat
http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/7/web/343000-343999/343651_43.jpg

It is fully kitted w/ spoiler now, blue stage2, stiff suspension in the rear soft in front w/ a 4.5degree tierod (handles like a demon). Also I have the tire upgrade and wheel upgrade. Hopefully I can pick up the lights today, all 4 RS i went to were out. Looks lke a full plate for me today Xmod wise.

Does anybody know how to remove the headlights/tailights w/ out breaking them!?

[Bad Company]

Use a Dremel or X-acto knife to scrape away the melted tabs on the inside of the body, then push them out from the inside.

[97PrizmLsi]

My civic is being done in Competition Orange as we speak. I am using Testor's rattle cans. I also purchased a can of clear coat that will go on after I put on some more coats. Bad thing is that the paint is a little runny. The first coat ran some but as soon as it dried it made the other coats stick nicely. The only thing that I have had problems with is that the paint pools on the bottom of the car...and i tried to smooth it out with my finger..stupid me. The paint was semi-dry and was like a paste, so I tried to apply the puttylike substance evenly. It is even in most parts except in 2 places where all the paint got rubbed off. I threw another coat on those places and they are the only troubled areas. I need more paint now. I am probably going to finish with around 6 coats of paints. Then clear coat. I am also doing my rims white which seems to have a much thicker consistency for some reason. They are coming along really nicely. The body kit that is going with the body is coming along pretty good too, except there is a few pooling problems with the mouth. But anyways more paint will solve all my problems.

[Coheed or die]

here are pics of my friends civic. he does no thave a digital camera so i took the pics for him and her they are....

[Joey]

There's a link to a resizer in the thread about the Eclipse you did - if you have Windows XP, you can use the Powertoy (http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/install/2/wxp/en-us/imageresizerpowertoysetup.exe).

Might want to back up a bit, that's..uh, blurry.
But I'm sure it looks nice in full focus, too.

[97PrizmLsi]

God i'm so pissed. I finished the civic I was doing orange and it came out crappy. Right now the body and kit and everything are sitting in a bucket of paint thinner...and my hands are full of paint and my knuckles sting because they were chapped and the thinner penetrated. I used Testor "Model Master" rattle cans, enamel stuff.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS STUFF WITHOUT A PRIMER COAT, IN FACT DON'T USE IT AT ALL TO PAINT YOUR XMOD
This **** ran and pooled..it was awful. A waste of money for 2 cans..the clear coat was good of this type though. The damn paint wouldn't stick to the body, I should of quit after I put the first coat on and saw that it was crap. I just kept on adding coats, telling myself it would come out OK. GAAAH..the reason I bought it was because there were no tamiya rattle cans..only bottles and other Testors stuff. The paint was coming off pretty quickly in thinner so the body is salvagable and I will repaint it, definetely using something different.

BC where do you find your tamiya rattles?


And can someone fill me in on the Krylon stuff.

[nobodyhere962]

its kind of blurred alot

[97PrizmLsi]

I think it takes everyone one good screwup to get things right. I picked up some burgundy krylon fusion which is designed for plastics and advertised that you need neither primer nor sanding. It looks good, I did a test spray and accidentally got some on my hands but this stuff sticks. I am going to do a test to see how it reacts w/ the clear coat I got tonite then paint the car tomorrow.

[kasper01001]

sweet, tell us the results 97PrismLsi I've been waiting for a feedback about that product before I paint my civic, (poor thing had been sittin masked up for days)

[97PrizmLsi]

Painting is finished, looks decent. Krylon was a tad drippy but the good thing is that with latex gloves you can spread it to the places that it doesn't cling to. Pretty good stuff, we'll see how the unmasking goes.
WARNING: If you use it be careful, the stuff kind of sputters. Use from far distance and coat evenly just like all other sprays.

[97PrizmLsi]

[nobodyhere962]

ok i didnt notice it

[XMODSaretheBEST]

hey ynad, how did you you lower your civic so good??


Oh yeah, just wanted to say that your civic in the first pic from that angle makes it look like a Lancer Evo lol. Did that wing come in the body kit???( Sorry, but i don't have a civic)

I have not sanded or primed any of my cars, and they look good enough to be mistaken for a factory finish. I really don't think it is necessary, and I don't believe that BC does it either...

[97PrizmLsi]

I should of primed or sanded my civic. The paint kind of ran. I think it is necessary unless you are using tamiya or other stuff that is made for RC bodies...and also costs 5$ for a 100ML can which is nothing.

[97PrizmLsi]

BTW BC Primes

Shame that they picked the ugliest parts for the Civic bodykits though. Especially the hood. A nice flat CF hood like the RSX has would have been much nicer than the Camaro SS wannabe that they included...

I had a blue civic, but i painted it. I have another body coming and I have black paint for a CF hood (to paint the stock one). Bad thing is that it will be here in 2-5 weeks depending on the speed (or lack of it) RS has. The thing is that the body kit isn't extremely wild compared to the supra or skyline...The plus of that is that it doesn't scrape...Still I would like one with some more flare.

[food123]

yeah it's getting really hard to find parts at the shack

[ynad]

XMODSaretheBEST,
thank you for good word.
custom front clip (different angle)
cut mount for rear clip (the part of body you screw the rear mount clip into)
and the wing is from mini-z's subaru WRX (fits tight)

[XMODSaretheBEST]

What did you do for the front clip?? And can i buy that mini z wing seperately??? Also, wat did you use for the dual exhaust???

Thanks

[ynad]

XMODSaretheBEST, i used pice of plastic cut to size of front mount
(but it wouldn't keep shape, wheels rub)
in process of making one outta coper and/or alluminum
as for the wing. it comes with STI Impreza (mini z)
btw miniz's skyline is same base as xmod(long)
and a lot lighter.
tail pipes are made from pieces of telescopic antena
and attached with the bumper mount screws.
i didn't go through ALL forums here. there is stuff around here.
anyway on more of such and oher mods
check these guys out
http://www.xmodrc.com
the know what they are talking about

[food123]

some square on the official xmod site says that his custom civic can go 37mph because hes got 6 cells a pci chip and a custom circuit board... nothing against him but 37 seems a lil much

[Joey]

I'll believe that when there's footage of him opening the car up, then putting the body on and taking it to 37 without a cut-scene. Probably bluffing.

[nobodyhere962]

hey ynad wat are those plate things behind the front 2 wheels?
are they supposed to be like brake pads

[ynad]

nobodyhere962,
miniz cross drilled rotors
i know they are huge,but i like the look.
and they fit perfectly just placed them in the rim.

[ynad]

gun metal flat body
gun metal gloss rims
comments are welcome

[Bad Company]

Very nice ynad! IMO, One of the best looking Civic's out there. That color looks great on it, and I like the spoiler. Where di it come from? Not too sure about the flourescent mirrors though.

[ynad]

thank you BC, spoiler is from mini-z's subaru impreza
and red mirrors help visibility of the car running

[Comrade_Boris]

ya......im still working on fixing it up...its all hand painted (they never have the colours i want in spray cans).....and tuning it (li-poly cells).....


it has some bad wobble like a goose when it starts accelerating........dont know why...

[97PrizmLsi]

what kind of paint are you sprayin with ynad? that civic looks great!

[ynad]

Shelby_HEMI,
second car on line would be subaru impreza

XMODSaretheBEST,
it isn't lowered at this time
i had to lift it to run outdors.
chiprico, nice, looks real.

[ynad]

to answer questions about paint
i used : Model Master 1455 gunmetal and Model Master laquer
overcoat lusterless(flat)

97PrizmLsi this would be for you

[chiprico]

thanks ynad:D

[ynad]

glad to help
any time i'm on line

[bugman72]

Where did the big brakes come from, ynad? I'd love to have a couple of sets myself!

[food123]

chiprico: that is the best looking civic out there. its nice and clean

[ynad]

bugman72, you can find these rotors at number of online stores
as part of mini-z hop-ups. there are different types out there:
sloted, cross drilled and also diameter variety.
i'll post urls as i find'em
thank you food

wat happened to the hood

[food123]

Hey ynad- can you make a thread with some pics of how you installed the custom exhaust. I want to install the tip you get with the body kit on the stock bumper.

[nobodyhere962]

ynad i dont see those holes behind the light for the light kit wat did u do

[ynad]

food123
as soon as i get pics i will make new tread but for now
use this pic. if you have ??? i'm here.

nobodyhere962,
those holes behind the light for the light kit
what holes? rear or front?

[food123]

thanks i think ive got it

[nobodyhere962]

i was talking about the holes in the back where the light kit's leds go in

[LTharle]

This my Civic. Not able to get the blue side of the fade paint to come thru on the photo. Paint does fade from green to blue. Maybe I'll get the lighting right in future photos. Let me know what you think.

[ynad]

very clean, nice. good looking
love the metal flake
is that chamelion paint?
don't use direct light/flash to take photo
bright lit room with light reflected on the car might work better.
could help get colors right. would be nice to see more pics.
time well spend. GREAT work.

[duwain]

heres my civic. it has some old decals from an old model kit on it. i posted it a while back. in this picture you cant really see the pinstriping i did around the windows.

[danny_v_l]

nice

[ynad]

is that firebird eagle?
looks good.would be cool to see one on the street.

Hey hereas a thread of mine and i used the same testors paint.
http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14487&perpage=15&pagenumber=17 Its the "jade assassin" in metalic jade green. It turned out wonderfull. Lots of compliments on it. It was also my first attempt. I guess I got lucky. The key here is patience, 2 light coats of primer and 2 light coats of color coat. LET EACH COAT DRY COMPLETELY BEFORE THE NEXT COAT. hope fully this helps. Also, dont get the can too close to the car or it will run and pool. Especially if there isnt a primer base.
Just my 2 cents worth. Cant wait to see it when its done.

[duwain]

here is my civic. i stole the idea for the rims from a guy named JDMXMOD i think that was his name. anyways props to him.

[duwain]

im gonna try to take some better pix later. i have to do my HW

[YungSir]

nice job on ur civic:D i will try to get pics of mine on the site to:p

I'm glad yours came out so good. It looks great. You definetely have to be patient with that paint, and primer as well. I did it without primer, because everyone on the forums seemed to be saying that primer is unnecessary so I gave it a whirl. At the hobby shop they didn't have any testor's primer so I decided to roll without it. I redid my civic after I sanded it in Krylon and it came out better. Much easier to work with as well.

[shadowblade]

Cool. now all we need is the finished product. I cant wait to see it. I just got my new skyline bodies in fro RS and am starting my new mods. hehe watch out BC.

[97PrizmLsi]

I already took some pics of it. It doesn't look that good now. Body is for sale or trade though.

is that the one you used with Krylon Fusion? is that really the result!?

[97PrizmLsi]

Yep, it's Krylon fusion burgundy done by myself. I initially wanted to keep the body as a show body because it looked pretty good and I ordered a new stock body, but I didn't want to not drive my Xmod for the time it took for the stock body to get here. The body has taken some damage so it doesn't look as great. I am thinking of sanding and redoing it (or selling/trading it). I got rid of the rims though, I have others that I can paint white to go with the repainted body (if i ever decide to redo it). I currently have a supra body that i got used from RS that I use and the burgundy body sits there. I haven't been as into Xmod body customization as I was, because I have recently acquired 3 ZZ SEs. Whenever the new Xmods come out I am definetely going to get back in.

[ynad]

97PrizmLsi
nice eye candy
what are those rims?
duwain
looks tight with those rims
might be stealthier without body decals:)

[duwain]

im pretty sure those are the rims that come with the wheel upgrade, just painted white. thanks for the compliments ynad.

nice eyelids on the civic

[LTharle]

I have redone my Civic. What do ya think?

[shadowblade]

That is SWEET!!!! I love the decals. Great job.

[madpilot1]

nice. what kind of paint did you use? Id like that kind of metal flake on my next project. great decals, awesome car

[LTharle]

I used about 8 to 10 thin coats of a Lacquer Base Prismatic Paint. Made By Alclad II the paint actually shifts from a green to blue in the sun. I could really only get the green side to come thru in the photos. I purchased the paint at a local hobby store and used an airbrush to aply it. I also used about 15 or 20 thin coats of a clear coat Lacquer to give it a mirror like finish. Not a very good picture but I turned the flash off to capture the blue side.

[shadowblade]

Really sweet!! nice color change.

[madpilot1]

yeah i like that, gonna have to try it
