My *most adorable* GF got me a second RX-8 for XMas but I only got it today...



It's a pretty rare 1:18 AutoART model... I usually order them from Germany but I was never able to locate a LHD Black one... the GF finally found one in Kong Kong

As usual with AutoART the attention to detail is incredible.

 

That is the greatest thing ever. I have a shrine on my desk of "toy" rx8's, you know the remote control drifting ones, but i dont have an actual model. How much would one of those cost, or something similar in quality and size?

 

that's very nice!

 

I think you can get the 1:18 size on ebay for ~$85 or so on ebay...detail looks awesome!

 

About 90$ in store, but I recommend negotiating the price down if you can.

Once I told a store manager that I really wanted to buy a few models from him but that they'd all stay in his display case a long time because they were blatantly overpriced (90$). I got a pair of lambos 40% off.

 

OMFG
The engine cover is removable (I used pincers) and it uses the exact same little grommets/holes at the same location than the real thing... this is so neat!!

 

wow! my brother got me the same christmas gift! except of course, in red. you can use that little stick to pry off the engine cover without worrying about damaging it with pincers. slid it between the air filter and uh.. the box next to it.

 

i have a 1/64th autoart, 1/43rd autoart(pre-order gift from mazda) and the 1/18th scale autoart

 

Very nice...i got the transformer....i transforemed it and left it that way cause it is a bitch to put back together.

 

I just picked up mine from Speednation. Titanium gray model for $55. It is a really cool model, the first 1:18 I've owned of an actual vehicle I own.

Congrats on the Xmas gift!

 

Mendossa can I date ur GF?
If not I might have to ask Kersh ..if I can date his bro.
LOL
Teasing Teasing.
Nice "second" 8
Frys had the remote ones on sale for XMas

 

wifeee material

 

wow nice detail to it! i got one the other day, but decided to keep it in the box, i couldnt find a red one but i did find a turbo white one, all sponsored out,...i gotta check out the detail on mine today.

 

Future mods?

 

They don't have spoilers so it won't match my car...

 

needs to be dropped!


nice gift - the detail is incredible.

 

That's my concern also. Can you get spoilers for it?

 

I have 2 white RX8 - 1 at the dealers waiting for a new engine authorization and 1 transformer still in original packaging.

 

I guess 1/18th is the biggest available out there? Any larger?

No sunroof, eh?

Get some clear corners.

 

yeah, the 1:1 scale model. i have one sitting outside my house.

 

Oh sweet, navigation!

 

yep forgot the 1:1 in the garage

 

Is the front license plate removable?????

 

Nice!
