I want that house!

And that Citroen Dyane cornering on its doorhandles is awesome. It didn't roll either:



That's pretty much the natural cornering stance for them.

that video of the Dyane body rolling like a boss

just awesome.

that's one nicely done Dyane halfway down too, sits a bit too low for my liking, but I approve.

Neither of those are 2CV.

 

[UnionStrike]

Neither of those are 2CV.

no idea what you're talking about.

 

[homeforsummer]

Neither of those are 2CV.

That's why I said they were Dyanes As was the one in Speed Junkie's pic on the previous page. The only 2CV I posted was the tiny pic on the last page.

Also, this guy trying on his buddy's wheels...

WHAT WHAT

...

That last one... isn't that the utterly retarded one with, at one point, giraffe vinyls and wheels that cannot, under no circumstance whatsoever, fit under the fenders?

I almost like the giraffe vinyls, they're so cheesy they're almost cool... but the wheels, no way in hell.

 

[benzoboy]

Nah, different plates and front bumper. Similar though

In celebration of my dad's new car, here's some older Lancer Evolutions.

Yep, same car. Actually, I do like the vinyls and colors, but the wheels really are retarded. Skateboard status.

Super sexy, super clean. Needs lowered. I don't know what everybody's deal is but I think that version of the RL is stunning. Very pretty car, I'd love to have one.

Also, last night at the car meet I was witness to an Evo 9 out-drift TWO 240s in K-Mart's parking lot. Pretty crazy. Also some crazy guy in a WRX did some gnarly donuts. I wish I had a fairly new, nice, fast car that can do cool stuff like that. But no, I have this crutch.

Plates are the same actually.

Not slammed, but low enough, imo.

 

[Cale]

I adore the RL.

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was poking in the back. You can't hardly see the fitment in the other pictures.

[homeforsummer]

Heh, I know mine is called Danger Mouse but that one even has the eye patch...

Also, that Acura RL is pretty tasty. Same car as the UK-market Honda Legend. Except nobody does that to Legends in the UK...

 

[Keef]

I think that's about what my Miata would eventually look like. Pretty awesome.

[Blitz187]

All those Silvias looks nice, except this one... Looks a bit unfinished if you ask me... Someone ordered some aeroparts and just stuck them on without paint or anything... The rest of the pics are 👍

 

[Keef]

Just because it's a 240 doesn't mean it's proper. Be easy on the Super Street and rice lol.

That's actually the way this kit is supposed to be, the bottom part of the bumper acts like a diffuser of sorts. Uras calls this kit the "GT" version, hinting at SuperGT cars a bit.

I quite like how this looks, for some reason.

 

[Zmann42087]

Was looking at this car and the badge really grabbed my attention... a Lotus badge on a Miata?

Did a quick search though and apparently in Japan, older Miatas have this "EUNOS" badge. Very similar to the Lotus crest...

 

[UnionStrike]

interesting, considering that the Miata was a spiritual successor/clone of the Lotus Elan.

I love how they made the letter collage quite identical to Lotus's design.

This is what they looked like on my van before I sold them. (Feel free to laugh. It was a direction I had intended on pursuing, but cannot financially justify.)

That had the potential to be epic, actually.

[Keef]

It's a start.

Also, I'll show you guys the most awesome 240 ever.

Definitely the coolest.

 

[toyomatt84]

True, but money got tight... and I just lost interest in the route I was going. Currently I've got the Mugen lip kit for that van, along with Gab Sports coilovers, an Admiration front grille, Gen. 1 Garson rear wing, and some 18x9 +42 Advan SA3's. There's some other Japanese optional tidbits on the car, as well, but they're OEM options for the Japanese market. The van will be going down this Winter for the beginning of the build. I intend to add cross-bracing to the unibody, to allow for better towing capacity. It's going to haul my EM2 around to/from the track, when all is said and done. I'm still debating drivetrain swaps for the car, as it's got an enormous engine bay and the Japanese market received the J-series motors from the factory. So, potential is there for a J-series platform without much labor. I'm just trying to weigh options, at this point.

 

[speed junkie]

I didn't even know that Eunos emblem for the Miata existed 👍

That gives me hope. Guess I need a VZ-R front bumper, now...
