Forza Motorsports 3 2001 Acura Integra Type R

Turn 10's Forza Motorsport 3 Integra Type-r

During Forza Motorsport 3's game development, I was e-mailed by Microsoft Gaming. They asked if I could let them do a photoshoot of my car since it was completely un-modified at the time. I verified they were legit and I agreed to meet them. There were 2 photographers. They took several thousand photo's, and of every part of the car (interior, engine compartment, trunk, exterior, and even under the fuel door). They used the photographs to help generate the 3D model of the car that is used in the game. If you enter the camera mode, you can zoom in through the back window and clearly read the badge number and even my mileage at the time.

There were 2 other Integra Type-R's used for the game. They used one with a stock engine and exhaust system, and put it on the dyno. They recorded the engine and exhaust sounds with this car. Then they used a modified ITR and recorded the sounds with it. These steps were taken with each car in the game. All who helped donate time with their car received a free copy of the game once it was finished, as well as their name in the credits.

Below are a few pictures from the photoshoot, of the interior badge in the game, and of the thank you letter.
