Lamborghini JLOC

Wow almost 4 months of inactivity! haha
been wanting to post these two cars from Kyosho Lamborghini collection 3.
there are many interesting models from the series but considering price worth i decided on getting the GT cars only..so here they are!

oops wrong label :P

JLOC stands for Japan Lamborghini Owner's Club and is also a racing team that actively participating in All Japan GT Championships (JGTC)

Calsonic Impul GT-R (R35)

After i finally got my long search Calsonic Z, i found another target of getting the whole Calsonic team!

LOL..the hunting never ends..anyway here is the second Calsonic car i got recently..The GT-R!!

Actually i got poisoned by my friend Loon who posted a picture of his Xanavi team.

and since i already got the Z, why not i just start with the calsonic team? lol

Aston Martin Gulf DBR9

I always like Gulf livery on racing cars..popular ones are like the Ford GT40, Porsche 917, LMP1 etc but as always the nice ones are always hard to get..Managed to find one at last a few weeks ago..and its the DBR9!

The 2005 DBR9 had to give the front seat to this new guy now

Muscle Machines JGTC Amemiya RX-7

Muscle Machine is back now this time featuring the Amemiya Matsumoto-Kiyoshi Aspara RX7!!! *gasp*
as the name is too long i will just shorten it to Amemiya since Amemiya is the car's sports tuner..and also said to be the pioneer of rotary engine tuning.
I first came to like the RX-7 and the rotary engine since watching the anime of initial D back in the 90s.
compared to RX8, the RX7 seems to gain more popularity. and there are a lot of after market body kits and just put any of them it will still look good. guess the design of RX7 can really fit any kind of modifications.

looking at the side, you'll notice how minimum the door gap is. at first glance u might not think that this model actually has open-able doors! very neat.

the only thing that i think too stand out is the big antenna..looks a lil' bit cartoon-ish to me

the popular pig nose exhaust..lol~ 

This exact car driven by T.Ohi and N.Taniguchi managed to win 3rd place in 2003 JGTC. Anyway in case you are wondering, Matsumoto Kiyoshi or Matsu-Kiyo is one of the most popular pharmacy in japan and the Aspara is a type of enegy drink v(￣∇￣)

Motul Autech GT-R

After my 1st purchase of the Nismo Z few months back, i was totally in love with kyosho 1/64..the level of detailing is irresistible indeed! One of my main target then was this Motul GT-R..really glad i finally have it in hand, and at a good price too! thanks to my friend Kendrew frome Diecast Empire :D
Now let the pictures do the poisoning!! :D

though i've been referring it as Motul Autech GT-R, the one stated here is different..not sure if the naming is correct..anyway like any other kyosho, this one comes with a base, but not with the box..only a hard plastic cover as enclosure..probably because its from a "tikam" set.

(or in english is called random set or blind set? not sure ^ ^ ;)

look at the sheer details and paint job, the previous me would not be able to tell whether this is a 1/64 or not..really awesome stuff :D

The one thing I'm wondering here is what is the logo at the side represents? if u ask me, it looks more like my local school badge..hahah

close up on the detailing..click for bigger images

Never get tired of this :)

Totally no regret in getting this one..i guess i'll really start collecting kyosho 1/64 now..but probably will focus on the GT cars cuz this is where kyosho's superiority in detailing shines! Poisoned? i hope u are :P

Yellow Hat YMS Supra

Before i know of Kyosho/Tamiya/Muscle Machine, Tomica Limited has been my target for Super GT cars, but with being Really Limited, its almost impossible to get them especially after u missed the wave few years back.
The TL Super GT have been selling locally since probably 5 years ago but at the time diecast hobby was not really popular. only now new collectors like myself trying hard looking for it everywhere..LOL

Anyway got this from an online seller.
he was selling it in a good price too.

adding radial+motion blur seems like is becoming a habit now..hmmm

mmm wonder how many of you fancy such weird exhaust placement? heheh

unlike other cars from tomica, the Super GT cars do not have any open-able parts.
but it doesn't matter because the car itself is already a great collector item.
the only difference is now that i know there are many more manufacturers producing GT cars,
it will not be impossible to collect them anymore. :)

Nismo Z Test Car

Finally, after keep being poison by my friend ADvedder and Lkwanz from HWCM,
I got my first kyosho diecast! LOL.
Kyosho is well known for its superiority in detailing and accuracy of its products; on par with minichamps, autoart etc. The level of quality you would expect from their 1:18 scale cars is not missing even in their 1:64 scale cars. Anyway let my pictures do the poisoning now :P

the back looks like a batman car..lol

There are two versions of this one with one being the 2005 test car and the other is 2007, mine is the 2007 which i think has slightly more tampo on the casting.
anyway since it's a test car, u will not find much sponsor decals on it.


size comparison with Tomica version of the casting. A bit smaller than the Tomica but the accuracy of the kyosho is definitely top notch! I dont have the Tomica Limited version to compare but it still uses the same casting as the regular tomica so this comparison is acceptable.



I have to admit though Kyosho cars are not cheap.
if I am really gonna collect kyosho cars I'll hafta leave the others..heheh
this one though, i grabbed it from HLJ during their sale..it certainly worth it..
hope more Kyosho cars will be put on sale in the coming months! :P

Muscle Machines: Daishin Advan Silvia

Another casting from the same Super GT series from Muscle Machines.
just like the previous ones..its awesome!

Muscle Machines: JGTC Reckless MR-S

It has been a while since my first JGTC car review from Muscle Machines. Soon after acquiring the Celica, i hit ebay again to find the remaining models. With a total of only 6 models available currently,
it was not a hard task to get them all.

Openable doors! lol

The Quality of the casting is perfect..its tampos, and all the tiny details are really impressive,
unlike the Celica, the back of this car is well more detailed.

Tomica Calsonic Impul Z

Its the Calsonic Impul Z from Super GT 2006 series 12.
I've been looking for its Tomica Limited version but then it seems impossible for now.
so i ended up with the regular version..which is quite nice actually.






u got a sheet of stickers to compensate for the lack of decals but i just dont like stickers..
it will peel of itself in no time.
anyway i got this picture of the tomica limited version from the search..

my..beautiful..seems like i still need to search for it..
if any of u have it and might want to let go..do tell me..heh :)
