Show off your die-cast and plastic car models

Arro · Post by **Arro** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 10:46 pm

Just a thread to show us your auto models and die-casts, whatever you got.

SRT-4 in Red and Solar Yellow, Viper GTS Competition Coupe:

Fullsize spare in hatch compartment.

Detailed V10 engine.

Foglights are there, you just can't see them in this picture.

The valvecover says "2.4L TURBO" and "16 VALVE TWINCAM" in raised lettering.

You can't see it, but the gauges actually have marked dials and the little half-moon digital readouts just like an actual 2G Neon cluster. The little boost gauge pod is there. The ACR seats are in there, too.

It has the "DODGE" and "SRT-4" badges in silver (not decals, but painted on), in the proper places (though you can't see them here). The exhaust looks like the OEM SRT exhaust from underneath, complete with welded Y-junction.

1972 Datsun (by Nissan) Fairlady Z:

Nice twin exit aftermarket exhaust.

Huge "blinger/drifter" style wheels w/ big brake kits (slotted and crossdrilled).

Leather shift boot with brown leather shift knob.

leather-wrapped steering wheel, monogrammed "Z" floor mats, OEM bucket seats, and race-inspired gauge cluster.

Wha's this undet the hood? That's not the stock L24 i-6... it's an SR20DET red-top, w/ GReddy intake manifold, turbo header, Greddy TiAL BOV, and a strut tower bar!

Looks mean. No wonder I own one of the real ones!

So show me whatcha got, peeps.

my favorite.

Arro · Post by **Arro** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 11:08 pm

Maisto, a japanese die-cast company. I found them new on Ebay for 20 bux each.

The Z is made by Jadatoys http://www.jadatoys.com

The Viper is Burango, another well-known die-cast producer.

Krack that's fawkin' awesome, I was going to customize the red one, too... I took off the exhaust and I was going to take off the spoiler and who knows what else.

It used to be the same one you have in yellow, ill i was able to do is paint and sticker it... I broke the doors and forced them up in the air and i stepped on the car to lower it.

I wished i could buy a body kit for it and some other things.

Arro · Post by **Arro** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 11:17 pm

<--- goes out side to step on his Neon and lower it

FAWK it doesn't work on the bigger ones! lol

Well it looks awesome, dude. I'm gonna try to fab up a custom lip kit or something, or remove the black grill plastic and crosshairs to stick in an IC... definitely changing the side skirts (I hate the flueted style ones the SRT and ACR have, I want something straight). Maybe some kinda EVO spoiler lol.

I wouldn't dare alter the Z, however. That thing is bad-ass already.

I would buy the SRT-4 one, but they have the SXT spoiler.

bad04srt · Post by **bad04srt** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 1:19 am

i personally like building the plastics models rather than buying the die cast, just more fun making it from scratch....my most recent was an eg coupe that i did alot of custom work on....i'll try to get some pics

Arro · Post by **Arro** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 1:43 am

I have the exact same yellow one... only thing is, look closer at the engine bay. It acually has "2.2l" not 2.4l. They screwd up on that one.

IN that post at least it was better than some people from America.

I build plastic kits and collect 1:18 scale die-casts, I might post some pictures when I get everything unpacked from moving.

Ohhh you did NOT just start this thread! Jesus. I'll have to go take pics. I have over 400 Hot Wheels and numerous bigger scale cars... mostly Vipers. haha.

Arro · Post by **Arro** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 6:27 pm

hot wheels should be in a thread of their own LOL...

Hey that's an idea... start a Hot Wheels and Matchbox (and generics) thread.

01rtgurl, yeah post your bigger scale cars here, I wanna see 'em

Post by **Canada** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:25 pm

Oh Noes... Ok. Here We Go.

And this is a whole suitcase full of HotWheels...

teamliviD · Post by **teamliviD** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 7:39 pm

I've got about 100 Jada Toys 1:24 cars, a ton of Hotwheels and other cars unopened in mint boxes. They are all pretty much all packed up from when I moved a year ago.

Wish I had pics. I've got about 8 right now that arent packed up. I'll see what I can do about pics.
