***CuSToM 1 oFF RX8***

Here are some pics of one of my latest projects...It's a replica (a soon replica) of my RX8...I added Real RE-Amemiya wheels to it...There are a lot of custom things done in and outside the model...Its only about 65% done...Hopefully it will be completed within the month. Also shown are some pics of the "SUPERSLICKS" RX8... You can buy these at toys are us...There pretty fast and they offer a drift mode on them so you can get sideways in a 8 without messing up your car!

Well i ordered the kit from a guy on ebay like 7 months ago...the wheels i got from a small hobby store in long beach ca. The roll cage i made myself out of thin plastic tubing which is also sold in the store...its sorta hard to work with but it takes time a patience...
