looks very good all i can suggest is that when making holes, feather them by 1 pixel, for instance, the top edge of the opening for the IC looks quite sharp. it would just be that bit better if it was feathered a bit. All good though, keep it up

youve got some good ideas there, but my main piece of advice is that you need to learn to walk before you run. you need to take things one step at a time. your graphics on the side are very jagged. im guessing line tool, maybe? the pen tool will make that look much cleaner. i think the biggest thing that needs to be addressed with your chop is that you need to find donors that are about the same res as the base car, whereas yours are mostly lower res, and is quite obvious. im not shooting down your chop; definitely more extreme than some of my early ones. keep up the good work and keep practicing.

I did use the pen tool but yeah i'm still learning thanks for the comments guys!

your turbo vynal looks a little pixely. ?? maybe a bit low quality. like its been taken off a low quality .gif file.

as for the chop it looks alrite i like the ideas and the level of modds but think you need to spend a little more time on each 1 to get them a little better.

i agree with everything mike said, but i have a question:

how much turbo lag would you think there'd be if you had a front mount intercooler on a MID engine car? forgetting just about fitment and location [which are problems themselves], you would have turbo plumbing running nearly the full length of the car which would prevent effective spooling. typically, MR cars are supercharged or are turbo but have the intercooler sitting below the car [heat rises upward which creates heat soak. WRX guys know about this], with a scoop that helps air move into the IC. just letting you know.

Wow..... I didn't realize. Yeah, I was wondering about that but the donor is from a NSX so I figured it would be alright but obviously not!

Thanks for the heads up Moncef!

Moncef · 09-08-2007, 05:20 PM

No problem, could you show me that donor? Did you get it off of C&M?

Nah, tuning fever. Here ya go!!

I think they changed the site a little cause when I was there last they had nice Hi-res pics

ceff, look at the direction of the slats on the "intercooler". theyre vertical, not horizontal. so theres actually a chance that that may not be an intercooler after all; rather, it might be a radiator.

EDIT: i found the higher res image that you used. that looks more like a radiator than an intercooler.

EDIT#2: heres a good example of what an intercooler setup on an nsx would look like.

man. the NSX is so beautiful. owning one seems to me like it'd make you feel like a king

Moncef · 09-08-2007, 07:19 PM

Aha! good point mikey. touche.

and that NSX-T: unbridled, unquestionable, dirty beauty.
