Addiction
 
Been seeing a lot of quality collection here on XMS.

Thought I should let the world know about my problem and get some help!!!


These were the first taste...

The addiction begins...

bosco72 02-04-2010 05:27 PM

nice cars .......

Hiyoto 02-04-2010 05:59 PM

Looks great. I like the Subaru the most.

Howlsatmoonlight 02-04-2010 06:02 PM

Nice start to your collection, keep it up :)

Edit: I have decided XMods are like tattoos...After you get your first one you can never stop!

FloydfanYodaman 02-04-2010 06:09 PM

great start...nice subie...and you do realize its all downhill from here LOL...and welcome to the site as well

bnR34 02-04-2010 07:42 PM

very nice.. its an extremely addicting addiction!!:eyecraz:

All_Xmods 02-04-2010 09:30 PM

The first two was right before The Shack discontinued Gen 1.

The addiction continued...
Found myself going to a different Shack everyday after work.


After several shacks and nothing in stock, found these two display models...


http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1976.jpg


http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1979.jpg


http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1980.jpg


http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1982.jpg


They were shelved in a display case since Day 1 at the shack, as they claimed.
Looks like returned mechandise, but I didn't care.
Shelved them, thus these seen no miles.


A little description:
Both bone stock, but the wheels, the brakes and the body kit.
Civic is lowered with an RSX front clip, and dual exhaust mod.

To be continue...

Hiyoto 02-04-2010 11:24 PM

Nice find. I should probably go around asking what they have in back.

All_Xmods 02-04-2010 11:28 PM

Sorry Hiyoto, that would be 5-6 yrs ago.

DRFTKO 02-05-2010 01:56 AM

Nice collection! What exactly is the point of the two screws on the rear bumper of the Civic? Is it part of the "dual-exhaust"?

All_Xmods 02-05-2010 03:23 PM

The screw is used to hold the muffler mount. The other is there for balanced look.



Back to my problem...

After visiting many Shacks with nothing in stock, started to get acquainted with the Shack people.
This paid off. One of the manager was able to locate a black Civic starter Kit and some RSXs and Supra bodies for me.
She called to have me pick them up.

The following are the goodies from her.

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1984.jpg


http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1985.jpg


Beater Supra now, all scratched. No head light lens.

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_1987.jpg


Traded one of the RSX Body for this baby.

Might have seen it with the 370Z post a while back.

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...Z/IMG_1989.jpg


This stopped my hunger for a bit, but not for long...

Hiyoto 02-05-2010 04:31 PM

Nice pick up. I just recently ordered me a camaro, civic, 65 mustang body from radio shack.

cycygrace 02-05-2010 07:16 PM

nive i just got a 67 camaro that works with 04' mustang body through a mod and already had a 65 mustang

Enjoy!!!

More to come...

Howlsatmoonlight 02-08-2010 03:33 PM

Wow, an excellent collection coming along there.

Hiyoto 02-08-2010 04:09 PM

Wow it just keeps on growing. Looks great.

All_Xmods 02-10-2010 05:50 PM

Thanks for the comp!

Here is the next batch.

Just when I thought the EVO serie was all done and out, found these guys on sale. Didn't even know they were out.

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_2012.jpg


Bumble Bee with Weapon and Light Kit

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_2013.jpg

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_2014.jpg



Barricade with Weapon and Light kit. Modded with Gen one light kit to house all three set of light; ground, police and front (with the other front bumper of course) & brake light.

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_2016.jpg

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_2015.jpg

Need to beef up the board. Lights flicker when all three of them are connected and turned on.



And this one for kicks...
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_9562.jpg

Not an actual Xmod, but would be nice. Hahaha

FloydfanYodaman 02-10-2010 06:25 PM

NICE...where'd you make that score?...looks like the collection is definitely growing...and that would make for a funny xmod...maybe you should do a model conversion?

Hiyoto 02-10-2010 06:48 PM

It just keeps on growing and growing. Where are you getting them from?

All_Xmods 02-10-2010 07:24 PM

Just want to clarify; all of these were purchased way back in the days.

This is my collection of the last 6 years.

Question for you, Hiyoto; When you said "I just recently ordered me a camaro, civic, 65 mustang body from radio shack." How is this possible?

its usually overstock of old kits, or used/returned kits, or display models, just ask for the manager and ask him/her.

radio shack unlimited, but i belive most of the bodies are no longer avalible through them, but since the 65 stang is a gen 3 its prob still there

All_Xmods 02-16-2010 05:43 PM

Yea, when to RS and asked for old xmods. None in the returns, or at least not the older generations.
Also asked the manager about Unlimited. He said only the old Camaro is available. I have it already, so left it for some other soul that wants to add it to their collection.
One question for y'all; do all RS have the same list form Unlimited? I mean if I go to a different RS, will the manager tell me only the old Camaro is available again?

Any how, here the next episode to my addiction...

After the Bumblebee and Barricade, there wasn't much with the Xmods around my area.

To kill time, I attempted to mount Mini-Z on my chassis.

Here are the first three attempts.

Gunmetal FC

Paul_England 02-16-2010 06:06 PM

Wow that rx-7 is great! mind posting pics of how you mount them?

FloydfanYodaman 02-16-2010 07:17 PM

hey man good pics...i like your mini z body additions...and the addicition continues eh? LOL

ANBUryan 02-16-2010 11:17 PM

Dang man you have a nice growin collection there.
With all the money spent, you could have bought a couple of mini Zs.

All_Xmods 03-23-2010 06:49 PM

Been busy lately with other things.

Let take a detour from my xmod addiction timeline.

Just found out that I own two of the rarest xmods, so the Street Series photos will have to wait.

I heard that the Red and Yellow hummers are very limited.
Glad I picked them up, even though the wife is ****ed off by them.

Here is the Red Hummer
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_2156.jpg

Yellow hummer with all the goods; AWD, Off-road kit, lights, and stage 2 motor.

Yellow hummer with body kit.
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_2172.jpg

Wow, so excited to know this!!! Time to end the ebay auction.
Thanks firebird999.

DRFTKO 03-23-2010 08:35 PM

Impressive! I don't recall ever seeing the red H2! :eyecraz:

How much did they cost since they upset your wife? :lol:

Hiyoto 03-23-2010 08:45 PM

Nice pick up on the red and yellow H2. I was going to buy them but the wife is not approving right now.

What ticked her off was not just these two. The thing is I dropped about $1000 on a suitcase load of xmods kits, and I forgot to get her something. :p

All_Xmods 04-28-2010 07:16 PM

It's been about a month since the last update.

Wait! Where is the Black Mustang? Stay tuned...

DRFTKO 04-28-2010 10:07 PM

I really like the addition of the Subaru wing to the GTR! Did it fit the stock holes or did you have to do modifications to the body and/or wing to get it to fit?

FloydfanYodaman 04-29-2010 01:08 AM

hey man the collection is looking great

and i believe the subie wing fits with just a little shaving...if i remember correctly on the one i did

The Subaru wing mounting hole fit with the GTR, but to lower it the holes on the GTR have to be widen for the mounting poles of the wing.:lol:

Hey, thanks.

I got on this train right before they discontinued Gen 1, about 6 years ago. I was a little older than you at the time though.

Actually, my first batch of Aluminum parts are on it's way. This is a bunch for the Gen 1. For some reason, I like the gen 1 chassis a lot. It's only right to start the alum. upgrade at the source of my collection.

yea it is. i only have one xmod thats fully upgraded with GMP parts and its my evo chassie. and i have a few GMP parts for my gen 1.
but the one on my evo, its sick man. all i need for it is a fet upgrade and a v2 board.
i want to get more parts for my gen1 but money is tight rite now.

toomuchtodo 05-02-2010 02:56 PM

My GMP parts came in, will post pics later. I only have problem with mounting the bearing to the gear boxes. Thanks for offering to help.
Money is tight everywhere, I think that's why many of the parts are on sale.

Mine is too, that's why I have to sell little by little. She knows I am selling, just not the fact that I buy more than I sell. Haha

Work hard at your job, and you shall achieve the same. My first earning was from mowing the lawn for all the neighbors.
