Odd Modifications Thread

[Turbo]

When you want a Land Rover but you don't want to sacrifice Mercedes luxury, but you also think just four wheels is simply not enough.

This originally was an Aston GT4 race car, but it has been modified into FIA R-GT car.

The ride height and rubberband tires really aren't doing it for me, but it occurred to someone to put a Phaeton's W12 in a Volkswagen Type-147 Fridolin...

For some reason, Evo wheels really do suit Mazdas

R33 with an R34 front:

The best part of the R33 is it's front end. To just swap it with an R34 front end is kind of heresy in my mind.

It gives me OCD.

This would be a really, really good potato launcher. Like, for real. I do not see any other purpose for that absolutely hideous extension.

Seems more like a joke, than a modification. It looks like it's just sitting within the actual exhaust.

I don't know how I feel about those taillights, but I'm ok with them.

I'll admit I don't know much about these (old VW, it looks like?), but I'm struggling to find what's odd about this.

How about now? I suppose a fastback may have been used, rather than the squareback shown above, but it still would have required a significant amount of work. Mind, it's not as "simple" as a roof swap; the nose has been heavily modified and the rear arches have been pulled forward to match the 911 door cutout.

A fox body Mustang... powered by a Viper V10

May have heard about this before. Brakim Racing is building a rally Lamborghini Gallardo. Unfortunately the last real update on it was about a year ago.

R33 with an R34 front:

R34 front/rear end are a bit too "Boxy" for the R32 or R33. Interesting but i get annoyed a bit looking at it.

Now that's an interesting modification... But I kinda like it.

Off-road AE86

Toyota running an Avalon at Tire Rack's One Lap of America. Spotted it in a recent Roadkill episode. Can't find many pictures of it. Don't think I've seen anyone racing an Avalon beyond some local destruction derby.

Off-road AE86

I remember posting some images of a Corolla GTS rally car in a Kuwait rally event in 1988 before.

This 1974 Triumph Spitfire underwent a very bizarre parts swap. The engine (a 2.8L V6) and transmission are from a 1993 Chevrolet S10.

I'm sorry but that looks more questionable than odd. Sure, I guess it counts but, what did the poor Spitfire deserve to have that? What *even* happened with that is what I need to know.

Off-road AE86

Wasn't a former Speedhunters staffer making an off road / rally spec 86?

Well it looks like it was set to rot away in a scrapheap so I'd say this is an improvement.

That messes with my brain more than it should.

Right?

Right?

That works way better than the white one. Love it.

Off-road AE86

Nothing odd. Back in the days they were used quite common in rallying in most countries. If i remember right coupes had better body structure for rallying.
