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(￣∇￣)

Jada Option D - Mazda RX-8

Option D 12005 Black Mazda RX-8 Wave 10
this here is the first one to make me started with collecting Jada.
the RX-8 is/was?(lol) my favourite model at the time.
so being introduced to the die-cast version of the car made me totally fell in love with it..
thanx to sinclair(again) for poisoning me with his stuff. T_T



another thing about Jada is the superb paint job and detailing..u rarely get a poor QC from the models..
which is also one of the point that made me attracted to it.





sadly it appears that i am a bit too late to start collecting this series since Jada has stopped its production at late 2005-2006 and the models are no longer available in Malaysia, but that alone couldn't stop me from searching them it seems :)
