August 9, 20231 yr Nice job! It's an impressive-looking and very detailed model, and the fact that it's modeling a FWD hot hatch makes it a lot more interesting than the typical models in this class!
August 9, 20231 yr Beautiful design, really nice shaping! How does the suspension work? Is it based on the 1x2 rubber pieces? Kind of like a mini independent suspension, right?

Kind of like a mini independent suspension, right? Hi, thanks a lot! Yes exactly! I used this rubber piece 45590. It has not a huge rage of spring but it is a nice compact design. And it is the same construction for front and rear, only turned 180°.
August 9, 20231 yr Really nice level of detail, great job, are those stud shooter triggers, for the pedals? I have an over abundance of those darn things, good to see alternate uses for it.

I really like the chrome and overall shape of the car. It looks great from the front!

August 12, 20231 yr It's rare to see JDM ( Japanese domestic market ) model's in lego. There us only hope that you take on a few more as this is very well done. And certainly one I would like to have on the shelf. At least you didn't K20a motor swap it. Well done again. 👏
August 12, 20231 yr This Honda is the best car I have ever seen in this scale. Such a clean design, great quality stickers. Flawless work!
August 13, 20231 yr Super-detailed and functional (you can open everything). Motor and pedals are lovely. I also like how the roof is skewed towards the front.
August 13, 20231 yr Author Hi, thanks for the nice comments! I really appreciate it. @Johnny1360 @Fluwoeb yes, it's the "Arm Mechanical, Exo-Force" I used this part as pedals for many of my models. But I never found another sensible use for it, yet! @brickless_kiwi For some reason all my last models had been JDM... Let's see what comes next :-) Probably something with a K20 swap @Akassin Thank you very much! That's not a every-day-praise!
August 14, 20231 yr Wow what a beautiful model! The details are amazing and the V-Tech engine is a masterpiece!
August 15, 20231 yr Definitely one of the best models in this class, the characteristic elements of the real model are perfectly reproduced :)
