I searched and don't think I 've seen any mention of the "IX" autoart model. Only have seen VIII.
Went to place called EWA here in Jersey(Green Brook) where they have models of almost every car ever made and found Evo IX(JDM) models in Yellow, Silver & Red(Ralliart).
They look amazing, very detailed both interior and exterior. Engine bay is detailed, interior has actual carbon fiber look pattern(can't notice in the pics),carpetting, & seat material(I think). Even the spoiler looks like carbon fiber.

The only thing that sucks is that it doesn't have the BBS wheels on it. Oh well, I ended up not taking it because they were selling them for $75, and that's too much in my opinion for a freakin 1/18 model.
Searched on ebay and found a couple selling in the $50's. Thought you guys might be interested in taking a look since the IX's are pretty rare.

**Interior looks blue in the picture for some reason, not like that in person.

































Again sorry if this is a repost.

 

Those are nice. I'm thinking of getting the Autoart Pajero for $30 in my area. I think the retail is $50 am I correct? I'll take both colors...hahha.

 

Sweet! Thanks. I've been waiting for the IX to come out.

 

No Problem.

Was I wrong, Has this been posted before?

I just really wish it had the MR BBS wheels

 

I collect 1/18th scale diecast cars and yes $75 for a regular street car model is too much. Haven't been to EWA yet but I usually buy most of my cars online. I've got some here on classifieds section for sale too.(I've got too many now so I just want to focus on certain cars) I might have to pick up that Ralliart model you posted above.

 

If you collect models I highly recommend stopped by EWA. They have imported magazines from all over the world. DVD/Videos of WRC by year & Location. Best motoring reviews. Some of their models(large ones) can cost in the hundreds $$$. They have every model you can think of.

damn thats sweet.

 

nice, wish they made a white one

 

they need white and mr's

 

Im looking at the AutoArt website and they have the Evo IX. I collect those also.

http://www.autoartmodels.com/pages/1_18/18index.htm ...then in the pull down menu put in mitsubishi....Page 7 has IX's

mmm RalliArt Evo

 

Agree - still hvnt found one

 

From the depths!!!

 

They only made those colors I posted above...in very limited quantities. Luckily, wife bought me one in Apex Silver after they released them.
They make the best scale models for the price IMO.
Unfortunately, I emailed them about 2 weeks ago to find out if they plan on making an X model and they responded saying that they don't plan on making one
I don't get why. They make the most random scale models of concept cars and other niche vehicles...why not an Evo X!? Weird.
