Circuit Soul Rocket Bunny FRS Making . . .
 
Hello guys,

Some of you may know me some of you obvious don't but I am Reggie and I use to drive a K20 Integra Type R and that was my pride and joy for a few years...

Since this is a FT86 Forum I will keep the Honda talk to a minimal and say that I pretty much build this ITR in my garage with a few friends and eventually 2 years later I got onto the cover of the Super Street Magazine for June 2013.

SUPER STREET FEATURE:http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...ntegra_type_r/

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8534/8...b5994955_b.jpg

With all that said... I sold my car 2 months after the photoshoot was done... thinking I was over it since it was my daily driver... driving a car with no heater, no stero, no power steering, no abs etc... sucks for city roads.

I then moved on to a 2013 Scion FRS which I bought in late May 2013...
and so it begins.. again..

that night I swapped out all the interior lights as well as the license plate lights and reverse lights.

I have a few parts left over from my ITR build like the following:

AND THEN... one month in the car just broken in at 2500km... a big shipment of parts arrived...

HERE IS WHERE THE HEADACHE BEGINS...

Getting big front wheels to fit with meaty tires is a PITA with the FRS kit...

The 265/35-18 Advan AD07 on 18x10.5 was just not fitting so I hate to find smaller tires even after notching the frame back like everyone else said to do and trimming the bumper as much as possible.

Had to borrow some wheels just so i can get the car to the body shop...

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3774/9...85655d64_b.jpg

Once I got the car back I got my Valenti Japan LED Tail lights from Modbargains

Then it was time to install the Rocket Bunny Rear Diffuser section...

I am currently working on getting a Voltex wing on, as well as waiting for new wheels to arrive that i had to wait 10 weeks for from Japan... :barf:

Your blue Recaros are amazing

Probably my favorite build yet! :respekt:

Khazzy 08-03-2013 09:56 PM

Fantastic! Hands down my favorite rocket bunny build. Plus, the K20 Integra is badass! I miss my Integra (that was nothing more than a B18B DB8). Look forward to seeing more pics.

Update: New Temporary Wheels, Clean up and Beatrush Front Rebar !!

I hated the look of the "sound pipe" in the engine bay.. so I did a little DIY delete...

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7327/9...cb638bdc_b.jpg
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7326/9...910289c8_b.jpg

Also got some Work Ewings that have been rebarrelled for some temporary wheels but the fronts were leaking air soooo i decided just to run mismatch wheels for the time being LOL

jonbatz01 08-04-2013 07:03 AM

Love your work mate!

Question>>Were those White wheels borrowed, Advan TC2s? What specs/offset were they?

Auto-Hauss 08-04-2013 11:30 AM

Looks very clean! Every once in a while I wish I went with white.

I'm assuming the girl is your gf/wife/someone important in your life.

I'm also assuming she's looking on somewhat in disbelief that you're doing this to a brand new car.

probably down the road as this thing is sooooo slow compared to my ITR LOL :sigh:

reggie@circuitsoul 08-07-2013 05:58 PM

VOLTEX TYPE V soon !!
 
Picked up a Voltex Type V from a friend.

Going to have to make some special mounting brackets so that i can chassis mount this wing instead of on the trunk itself.

Will post pics once its complete !!

So, how did you solve the tire rubbing issues..
What are your wheel specs and offset?

That's like asking what his girlfriends bra size is.

juliog 08-09-2013 03:33 AM

Looks like you got the RB panels painted *after* putting them on? Much trouble color matching the OEM white paint?

well they were test fitted before painting, then taken off and sent the pieces to the body shop.

took 3 tries to get the match close as possible. The pearl white is extremely hard to match.. its also doesnt help with the factory paint on the panels dont 100% match either.

juliog 08-10-2013 04:52 PM

Thanks for the info, I'm having a number panels on my whiteout replaced due to damage and might just repaint the whole car to avoid color matching issues :/

antlers 08-14-2013 09:07 PM

Looks awesome. Thanks again for answering my PM.

Iceblazer 08-15-2013 11:41 AM

I'm 100% feeling the wing nice!

Evasive Motorsports 08-16-2013 03:45 PM

Looks super good Reggie!
