Phil: Yeah, micromark.com. On the JGTC cars, I'm just gonna open that RX-7 one day. Unless they skyrocket in value or something.
Micromark? Gotcha,
👍
Who knows, but if I had that FD GT300 I would say 🤬 this, I'm opening him up! Worth more to me than the $$$$...... Unless, there's a spare one in your collection.

Negative, once the original rivets are drilled they are toast. In fact any rivet is toast once it's been used. Where did you hear you can re-use rivets?
Like....now.
Nowhere, I have wondering how on earth after you opened a HW, you re-use the rivets? Until I heard about the tiny screws.

5 Hakosukas? I have none.
Just had a look on TradeMe (NZ's eBay) and there's none there, only Ken and Meries, which I do have. Typical.
Do your local stores and within your city have 2011 HWs? If they do, you need to frequent the stores sometimes and keep looking online also, anything can show up.

Kyosho 1:64 Lamborghini Jota SVR:
Engine: 3929cc V12 normally-aspirated with 6-Weber carburetors; approximately over 400 HP
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Layout: Mid-engine rear wheel drive
0-100 KM/H: 4.2 seconds
Top Speed: 315 KM/H
Lamborghini created the one-and-only Jota to comply in the Appendix "J" of the racing regulations. However, this car has been short-lived as it had been totally wrecked in an accident. But this legend was soon heard by loyal customers, and hence demanded the car company to make Jotas to be sold on public. Lamborghini was in financial peril, though, and initially turned away customers who wish to convert their Miuras into Jota-spec models. Due to strong demand, however, Lamborghini produced a small number of Miuras that have the same specifications as the original Jota. These were the SV/J and the SVR. The difference between those two cars can be easily noted, with the SVR having a rear wing.
These faithful replicas of the original Jota are a very rare sight on the road.
Nice. It's a unique Lambo I have to say. And when I mean "unique", that spoiler.

Just what a Miura needs, a rear wing to make the front-end even lighter than it already is.
Hmmmm.... Wonder if it gives out 500hp...

I laugh at
this every time.

We have that video posted up in the RICErs thread in the auto section. Check it out sometimes, the stories and videos of complete morons in our world doing facepalm tactics and theories.

That front chin spoiler that the Jota SV/J and the SVR models address the front end lift problem. Some Miura owners were the first ones who actually came up with that quick-fix solution.
Also, the spoiler's peculiar placement probably meant for pushing the entire car down for better handling.
Well, if it's for the pursuit of aero design, especially in the 70's and 80's, heck the 90's cars had some weird engineering of the use of spoilers and airdams.
The Chaparral 2J, Batram F1, Vector W8 TT, Countash, GT90 and many more. Even the X1 and DeltaWing of the 21st Century! Strange in auto art, but beautiful in science and technology in auto tech.

Yeah, I know, I figure as much, but that still doesn't stop me from having a slight glimmer of hope.
Hey, in this world of HW collecting, you have to have some kind of hope. Finding certain cars, especially $THs, is like a living nightmare, especially those 🤬 scalpers!
I have been looking for the SRT GTS Viper for a long time, ask everyone here, they will tell you. But around the Xmas holiday, I finally found it in a grocery store way in the back of the pegs
.
So you have to keep something inside you saying "You'll find that car soon.", but I have found alot of other cars, even some rarer cars too.

Garage cars, an M3, a 512, a TH and two $THs. I don't think so.
A E30 M3 and a few others, WTF?!
Is this guy in his 20s or something? Because if he is, he needs a "long talk" a nice knuckle sandwich. Don't tell me, he is around our age group.
@RT16: You still have that GT40 from the Garage series? How does it look like? I can take either a pic or a description.
