After numerous weekends putting this together I feel it's in good enough shape for an initial release.

This mod is based on my own design concept for a fifth-generation Honda Integra coupe in Type R form, specifically the 2023 facelift.


Putting this in Assetto Corsa was largely an exercise in evaluating my design surfaces in motion, and for the novelty of having my own work be driveable, albeit virtually.

The ultimate goal with this project was to create a design that could theoretically be manufactured in real life. Fleshing out the concept further in a racing sim and making the vehicle specs come to life added another layer of realism.

All geometry, textures, and sounds were created from scratch. Tuning and data were set up with the FL5 Civic Type R's times around Laguna Seca, Tsukuba, and Suzuka Circuit as performance targets. Where the DC8 differs from the FL5 is in its smaller overall footprint, lower weight, shorter gearing, and naturally-aspirated engine. The power/torque curves depict a 280ps 2.4l engine with a 9000rpm redline.

I've included three LODs in total, with the highest sitting at 235,529 triangles. There are currently six colors, each including a different-colored wheel variant.

-Captiva Blue
-Championship White
-Granada Black
-New Milano Red
-New Vogue Silver
-Sunlight Yellow

This is my first time creating a car mod for a racing game, so please go easy on me. Feedback regarding quality and missing/requested features is welcome and encouraged!

    2023 Honda Integra Type R (DC8) Design Concept v0.2 I was blown away by the helpful feedback I...

Latest reviews

This car is great, I drive an Integra IRL and I couldn't imagine a better spiritual successor to it than this, it looks good for a 2020s car, it drives great and it is good in the same areas the original car was, e.g light weight, high revving engine, precise cornering. Based on Honda of recent years I the reality I expect though would be some 1600kg thing with a turbo that redlines at 6.5k rpm and it looks like a shoe with excessive spoilers on it.

The car looks great and is fun to drive, but I must say that it is quite a beginner-hostile car; even with a full tank of fuel the rear end is a bit too nervous. Either a slightly more rearward weight distribution, some stiffer rear suspension, a touch more downforce from the rear wing or even a combination of the three will help make the back of the car more compliant.
The latest update makes the car even better. Although i don't know If I'm the only one that has this problem, but whenever i start the drive in cockpit mode with the weather in rain mode, it crashes. Maybe fixing it in the update might help it out. Otherwise, the car is very much complete !!! AWESOME WORK !!!

Thanks for the feedback. The only cockpit parts I added that I think would've reacted to rain effects are the animated wipers and the internal windscreen object. Is there anything beyond the Kunos internal glass material settings I need to do to get it to work with rain? Something that goes into the extension config maybe?
The car design made me wet. Honestly, my first review on RD and for this. All the other technical stuff I couldn't care less and this being your first car mode is crazy cause honestly this is good. Keep going bro!
The car handles quite fine. The speedo is a bit choppy, otherwise the response is albeit good. The Windows need to be showing Rain particles, and the wipers should be working too. Apart from these, its a great concept mod !! Also, if possible, please make a mod of your "Honda NSX Concept" too ! I would love to see that come to AC soon, if possible.
Very interesting concept, but there's a lot of space for improvement.

Currently, FFB is really agressive and does random things all the time, which makes the car absolutely undriveable for me. It's caused by the suspension geometry - I fixed it and the rest of the physics seems to be fine, but You should take care of this on your side as well. (I mean the WBCAR_... part in susp.ini)

Visually, RPM gauge is not smooth enough. Some textures and shaders could be better quality. Lights could look better too. You should use some CSP, it's really hard to build good mod nowadays without it.

Please, take everything I said above as an indication and advice rather than a negative opinion. I'll definitely stick here to follow the project and my rating will change with each update. Overall, I really love this concept, the design is wonderful and I think we need more cars like this in AC! Thank You for Your work and good luck!! :)
Other than the gigantic steering wheel blocking my view and the fact you used ksPerPixelMultimap on brake discs, good job.
Honestly a damn great mod and does its best to mesh the FL8-kind of modern Type R look with the DC5 Type R's silhouette. I'm a massive fan of giving discontinued models a pipe dream remaster, and this is exactly what this has done. While I don't really think that the sounds as a whole being pretty muted or just don't exist in the bumper cam are enough to dock a star, it's definitely something to consider in the next update/s.

Physics feel great, although the ABS becomes a little faulty below 80 km/h, but I use a controller so I doubt it's much of an issue for wheel users.

As a Honda enthusiast, this is awesome. Good quality overall. Could use some minor changes but it's nitpicking for having a whole scratch made mod like this in a 0.1, I know how much effort that involves. Really nice work. I've also felt like there's a huge lack of fictional mods considering how cool they look, such as Matthew Parson's 4000GT. Thanks a lot for releasing this!
Very cool. Here's a bit of feedback. The first thing I noticed was the steering wheel. It's not curvy enough, it needs more polys. Then, the interior sound is very dim/low. Lastly, the brakes seems to lock kinda early and the AI seems ineffective. All in all very cool and quite good for a first release ever.
This is an absolutely amazing piece of work! Love it
Really nice, a true Integra, great look, realistic driving I think, I vote for the B option in the sound, and, please check the body material, map Difusse and Map textures looks a bit pixaleted. plus will be really cool, if you can add working wipers, great job!!
Now THIS is the kinda content I love seeing; fictional, realistic, quality.

I don't want to be "that guy," so I won't make a request, but what I will say is this: As a fellow designer, I hope you've now got the modding bug and at some point we may be graced with your NSX GT300 concept in AC. Loved that thing for years.
Really excellent for a first mod. The idea is great and the car beautiful, physics are really cool, and there are some little problems (texture bug on doors, no turn signals or cluster not fully animated), but except that I think it's really really a high-level mod. GG, for a first mod it's impressive ! (I also think that the gearbox is a little bit too short but it's not a real problem)
excellent mod. i love the design, but the sound is muffled.
overall is a good mod
So, first thing first, congratulation for this concept that fully respect the soul of acura's style. perfect proportion, nice interior touch reminding the S2000 cluster. Only the steering wheel and the stiching look a bit thick and as it's say before a bit low quality. Also, the exhaust tip look too tiny for the power you claim from this K24 (278hp NA is full built in engine). In the same way, interior sound feels very muffled for this engine.
Handly side, it's a real joy to drive, the front end is planted to the ground, very neutral, maybe too much for my taste. I would like the back to be just a little bit alive on the brakes, maybe a touch more toe in at the back.
Thx for your amazing and inspired work. Some corrections here and there and this project will touch the perfection!
Bro made the car before Polyphony
(Since PD said they and honda joined in a partnership)

Bruh, even 1 dude works faster than PD devs
This is absolutely incredible. And for your first mod it's even more incredible, you already surpassed 90% of the available car mods and Honda should hire you to revive the Integra and not make the 150th generic SUV model.

It's a pleasure to drive with its trademarked Honda stability and the VTEC sound is glorious as it should be. I noticed only minimal problems with the mod that is normal for a first mod such as:
- some AO textures look a bit off and they should have a white alpha channel so they let the txDetail through (I advise to generate AO in Content Manager
- Steering wheel is a bit low resolution
- txDetail textures that are only a single color can be as small as 8x8 but I advise to save them as uncompressed

Aside from these this is a 10/10 mod and with the issues considered then it's a 9.8/10, I saw plenty of good first tries for AC mods but this is easily the best I've seen, I like to make use of CSP's shading, self-lighting and PBR shader goodies so if you want I can give you some tips for improvements on Discord!
