Odd Modifications Thread

uh...

"The SUV’s standard Toyota 3UR-FE 5.7-liter V8 has been dialed way up with two Garrett turbos the company officially describes as “the size of volleyballs” for a claimed output of “more than 2,000 horsepower.” This engine, used in the Tundra, Sequoia, LX and GX is normally rated to 381 hp in a Land Cruiser like this."

That poor engine.

Usually I am all for a swap,

Not my week maybe?

the engine came out of a wrecked 458.

Ya, I want that Land Cruiser.

Rob Dahm's 4 rotor, AWD FD RX7 dubbed "Ahura".

2,000 HP nitromethane fueled 4.0L 1UZ claims have existed since the late 90s so I don't doubt the output of a roughly 20 year newer aluminum Toyota V8 is plausible at least.

As for the Ferrari swapped Scioburu, I think it is just how it's in there that irks me really. I can imagine it's as low and as far back as possible considering time and budget, still looks too far forward and too high in the chassis to handle well though.

I might've seen it before, but this just popped up in my sub box.

I want it

VW K70 with a Passat W8. It's actually the K70 shell dropped onto a heavily modified ("Honey, I Shrunk The Passat!") B5 chassis. I don't like the other things done to it one bit so I won't post other shots (Google's your friend), but there's the business end of it.

This thing...

I have to admit this is attractive, gives the 935/76 Vibe

As much it's in the right place, I have a feeling it might aswell fit in questionable too.

Bloody hell. Looks like a car you'd see in a videogame alright.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Looks like a copy and paste job to be honest...

It's amazing how something so throwaway has become one of the design icons of that era.

I used many expletives when the RX7 popped up.

"The overfenders are too heavy; punch some holes in them to make them lighter."

 

[Razor440]

Would have been 100 times better if they actually smoothed out the bodywork.

Would have been 200 times better if they just left it alone.

GTP needs some sort of filter that identifies that Stancenation watermark and blacks the image out unless someone chooses to view it.

Or we could just ask everyone to put their stanced images in spoilers.

A Subaru 360 which appears to be converted into a hot rod.

Now that's taking the definition of widebody to a whole new level.

 

[Fastcarguy]

Remind me of the body lines on the Abflug Supra, just wider.

I'm pretty sure that is an Abflug kit, just more exaggerated than the S900. The Abflug Curve Design, I think its called.

I found the article and it is in fact a heavily modified Abflug kit.
