^I didn't even know they sold an 86 with a digital cluster!
And the 787B and FD ad is awesome. Never seen it 👍

You can't possibly be trying to suggest that there might be another lowered Jetta on wheels with a rack out there. That's just crazy talk.

With a West Houston license plate frame?

Keep the smart ass comments to yourself.

Hong Kong cars. Must see, now! Fat Fai tune (see green GT-R windscreen sticker) built an amazing 4-door GT-T with GT-R kit and flared arches.

Mmmmm...

Lancia Trifux, The "old" regulation BMW F1 engine, the awesome RA168E, and the Formula Atlantic 4AG. Good stuff.

Here is some quality sound of what the Honda turbo sounded like...

This looks exactly like my buddy's Jetta. I think the rack may be slightly different. 👍

My friend says thanks for the 👍. It's been a WIP for him for a while. He's been slowly adding to it for about six months. He actually got that rack for free. He works at West Houston VW, and the rack came off a Golf that was traded in. So they let him have it for free.

Group B car + snow and dirt = Win!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Crazy how similar the FD RX-7 is to a Miata drivetrain wise.

The new shop project car at my work. Nobody agrees with me here, but I think the wheels are too big. 19's would have been sufficient, not the 20's they went with.

Edit: Oops, DP.

It looks nice, expect those lime green brakes don't match the blue.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah that's kind of how they do things around here. "Loud"

 

[Cale]

Yeah, 19's would have been nicer.

 

[Bram Turismo]

80's stuff is awesome

I want that in my life

 

[Keef]

The 20s are too big but at least they're Volks.

Flat faced wheels just scream for wider tires. Those don't look right at all.

They never did . This one's a replica, a very good replica using loads of genuine parts and was built alongside the restoration of a genuine one. Owner of the rep uses it regularly but decided to have a hard top fabricated to make it a bit more user friendly over here in the UK where he lives. 👍

I agree, that just looks wrong

Double post

 

[squirlybmx]

The epicness of the car will never fade.

 

[squirlybmx]

Diecast.



Strangely attracted to that for some reason. Maybe because it's bad ass.

If you think that angle is bad ass, check out it's actual ass.

aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnndddddddd double posted... woops

I agree. I also agree with 20s being too large for that BMW.

Florida posing once again^
I know that their bumpers arent actually being held on only by those rubber strap things. Just how I know those wheels and roll cage are just for looks too.

I wouldn't call it posing when the car was built to be enjoyed by it's owner, not to show off as a racecar. It's expressing yourself with your own personal tastes rather than being some kid that guts his interior and puts fat tires on to make it a 'drag car bro'. When I have a WRX, I'd rather do the outside to look like a Prodrive rally car or just have the racecar look in general than slam it with stretched tires and scrape everything bigger than the hair on my balls. As a racing fan, I like the racing look, and considering he made it look like a racecar, Manny does too.

What it looks like now

 

[speed junkie]

Not sure what kind of racing you follow but that looks nothing like a race car. I mean, I can see he's going for the off road Jeep look with all the straps mixed in with some kind of autocross look with the crudely placed masking tape numbers.

Well putting this little guy on the street doesn't exactly happen with pocket change.

But you can understand the look he was going for. Definitely more of a homegrown/autocross type of look. Considering autocross is a type of racing,
'racecar' can still be used to loosely describe the look.

And by the way it definitely does not resemble the Super GT look.
