trying to dust and the next thing i know it's a photoshoot lol.
these were the cars that first got me into diecast: vintage 1:18 jada. as the story (i heard) goes, once upon a time jada toys started getting into diecast cars like these. the yellow celica i think was based on a real car that was in an issue of import racer (are they still around?). they came with tons of extra aftermarket (tuner/ricer) parts and you can build it up to your own spec.... and then suddenly something hit the fan over the sponsorship decals the cars came with and then they stopped selling them

Make sure you check the seatbelts, there are still a lot of them out there with the seats in backwards (passenger and driver seat are mixed up so seatbelt doesn't loop through the seats)

1:18 UT Models Porsche 993 vert. I bought this broken and in pieces almost 15 years ago. swapped the engine lid with a turbo tail as well as the turbo engine, and added wheels from a UT M3 GTR. license plates were taken off the internet on a scaled down on a color printer. still working on it... need GT3 bucket seats and a nardi steering wheel

vanboy, why don't you go on eBay instead of messaging people like crazy on here all the time... there's literally hundreds of what you want available at decent prices: r33 skyline 1:18 | eBay
So much easier........

Do you guys have any regrets on selling your cars?
I have 1 partial regret -
I had a 1:18 MKIV Kyosho Supra Turbo in Silver LHD. Yes, that one, the first edition one.
I bought it at Wilkinson's for $80 wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day (I think it was 1996). I sold it for about $180 a few years later, but now I kinda regret it. Not because it's worth more now (Which it is) but it was a good rare model.
