the ultima house: Return of the Scorpion
http://ultimahouse.blogspot.com/2014/07/i-guess-you-all-know-great-news-finally.html
Mardi 22 juillet 2014. Return of the Scorpion. I guess you all know the great news; finally Akira Kogawa. Has revealed the project he's been working on for several years: the ANCESTOR of the Ultima, the return of the famous Scorpion. Of course the next step would be to rerelease all the glorious cars from the era, like the Optima, Ultima and Javelin (my favourite), but I guess it's only a limited phenomena. Such a pity. Hello, how can I contact you? I found an Ultima and I would like to share your photos.

Best wishes for 2013! It's been a year since I last wrote on my blog so I guess it's a bit of a surprise but I'm still alive and kicking! I've had a lot of things to do last year (but nothing on the optima front except some spare parts for the mini-z optima) so I left the blog unbusy. What's the status of the Optimania these days? PS I've begun a new blog. About mini-z autoscales if you care :D. Liens vers ce message blog. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Did you own this car? Best wishes for 2013!

Looking for new parts alternatives? I've been very busy these last months. But I hadn't any interesting news to publish. Until I stumbled upon the very brilliant blog of MIKEDEALER. He collected a meaningful sum of infos and references about alternative parts for the vintage Kyosho Optima/Ultima series. The good point being that all these references are actually in stock, and easily found on the web. CHEAP! Liens vers ce message blog. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Did you own this car? Did you own a:.

Two weeks after I published the news of Marwan's OT-30 reproductions, I got a mail from Jose R. An other spanish optimaniac since 1985, which was quite surprising. He remembers seeing my post in 2009 about the craze of the OT-30 burning prices (selling at about 90€ for 4 tires on ebay but recently their prices peaked at about 60€ for 2). So it was pure coincidence when he saw that Marwan also. Did manage to repro the OT-30, from Koweit! Jose realized Kyosho was a bit loose with the tire tolerances (dimen...
