XMOD Collection updated! Lots of PICS!

[civic_guy]

Thanks again guys. Yeah I keep REALLY good care of them. I do have project bodys and stuff that I drift with. A good example is the black RSX...I ruined it's stock rear and front bumper because I was drag racing it and it hit a small pebble and did numerous cart wheels and berrel rolls. Luckily the actual body wasn't damaged just the bumpers, some of the fender edges are scrapped though. My yellow skyline has its right mirror attached with super hold hair gel (didn't have any super glue at the time) lol.

So it's not like I have all these Xmods and never use them....I just use them carefully or (if they crash) I fix em up really good...lol. The RARE ones will never be driven...they're fun to switch bodykits (the ones that have em) and just admire.


And the SLR has no bodykits...imo it doesn't really need though because....well....it's an SLR...lol.

I hope this inspires other Xmod collectors...because if you don't always have time to modify and tinker (like me) you can still have fun and just collect them!

but does the slr' bumpers like are they screwed on like every another car or are they one piece

[civic_guy]

Only the front and rear bumpers can be removed....side skirts, hood, spoiler, etc. are apart of the body.

[coolcar24th]

Well currently I own all xmods that have been relased for radioshck. I had one rare body a while back and sold it for 50 bucks.

[civic_guy]

Dude you should make a thread and post pics of your collection, I love looking at other peoples collections

What rare body did you have that you sold....you should have kept it.

[coolcar24th]

It was the HPI subaru. Ill post pics of my collection some other time. I dont have a camera right now.

I love the colection but i have one question do all of the cars except your project bodies have their own individual chassis?

[civic_guy]

Yeah, all my cars have their own chasis and all except the Black RSX, Silver Supra, Blue F-150 and both Yellow NSXs were actually starter kits. The Black RSX, Silver Supra and Blue F-150 don't come with a starter kit in the first place but the yellow NSX bodies are the only cars I bought as shells. The rest were starter kits or the body/bodykit package.

Haha thats actually funny my whole colection is worth close to $1200

[civic_guy]

Yeah, well everyone is always like OMG you've spent tons of money on those! But when you think about it, it's really not that much in the big scheme of things. When I was a freshman in college I would eat out all the time and at the end of the year my parents made me add up all my food receipts and they totaled A LOT more than I've spent on Xmods. So now I don't eat out at all and I save a lot of my money from working. It's all about saving and budgeting your money...you can either waste gas and $5 every day to eat fast food for one meal (thats $35 a week or $1,680 a year) or you can save that $5 and eat something at home and be that much richer.

I have all the bodykits for all the Xmods that have bodykits too...i'm just hopelessly addicted to these things


but it's OK (cause my gf doesn't mind! yay!)

[HellGuard99]

wow...I guess I'm gona have to stop eating at BurgerKing if I have to buy all my stuff then xD

Civic guy is right if you budget your money properly you can buy basicly anything. I love xmods and want to buy so many things but at the end when you add all of the costs up you actually thing dam did i really spend so much but if it keeps you ocupied and out of trouble its really worth it.
thats my 2 cents.

have you ever dared to drive the orange and yellow subies?

[Stampedekid]

nice collction, but do you ever drive them, they look like they have never been driven before(i can understand why) the cars are very clean, good job, i cant wait to see the skyline!

[civic_guy]

Yes I do drive a lot of them...

The black RSX was driven until I crashed it...now its just a shelf car...the Yellow skyline is one of my drift cars along with both lancers and the mustang. I drive the blue civic around for fun with my gf. The Z's chasis has been driven (the Z's body top wasn't on there...i was testing it out) the rest like the Blue skyline, Fujitsubo and HPI subaru, SLR, White NSX, white and silver supra will never be driven because they're my shelf queens. Besides, it took way too long to put those decals on the Orange Subaru for me to drive i and mess it up...lol...

[Stampedekid]

ok cool it just looked like they were never driven, they are in such good condition

[civic_guy]

Thanks! I try to take really good care of them. When I drive one, for example my Mustang, I'll put the stock pieces back on that way the ones that make it look good don't get messed up.

thats what my neighbor does it is a smart idea yet the rest of the body can still get F***ed up. Just a little FYI.

[coolcar24th]

I usually buy 2 bodykits for a car. One is for when I race and one is for when I display on shelf. That way I dont damage the stock parts especially since you cant replace them.
