    I had a quick look on internet for the Starter IMSA celica but it seems that it's an old, rare and hard-to-find model kit.

    I'll keep going on my searches to find out one for you.
    What's its reference#?

    I want the red and white Celica with the working lights you guys mentioned too. And that IMSA GTO Celica, I WANT. Be great if I want a physical representation, if I'm designing the Celica's body. I original bought a HPI grey Toyota ST165, for designing reference. I couldn't help but buy 3 more 4th Gens Carlos Sainz Rally edition. I'll post some pictures later.

    Oxi found this competed one sold on ebay for $125
    They don't come cheap and like the Scalextrics are sought after collectors cars

    No kidding. The 1990 is another expensive model as well. I hear HPI is strict on perfection as well. Those details are just amazing. 1/43 but for some reason my HPI ST165 is a bit smaller than my others.
    I was gonna get this one but i opted for 2 more less expensive Carlos Sainz Edition. This one I'd probably get soon.

    Has an 88' front and an 86 rear tail lights? Is that what we've discussed on one of these threads here before?

    Thanks James :thumbsup:

    It's a really nice model that. I don't like the red mudflaps though. Detailing is great, right down to the door handles. How long have you had that one ? Do you get it out to play with ? ........I meant the toy Celica :naughty :smilielol5

    Lucky me. At last, I put my hand on these very rare and desirable japanese import DISM 4gen models.
    Accurate proportions, wheels, decals...
    Functional lights and steering.

    I got them from Japan.
    Some weeks ago, I bought an old 4gen brochure to a japanese ebayer.
    I saw that he also sells some model cars (others than DISM).
    I asked him for the DISM 1987 2000 GT-R, and he told me that he could find and send it to me it for $85 shipped.
    I received... the 1988 GT-Four. I told him his mistake and he sent to me the 1987 2000 GT-R for... free. :tongue:

    That is really detailed, so much like the real thing. Does this person have a telephone number ?
