Odd Modifications Thread

R34 with an R35 front end:

Chevrolet S10 converted into a late-60s C10. Most of these conversions tend to be sloppy, but this one is actually well done!



Mercedes-Benz W108 "600" conversion. Strange but cool.

 

[GranTurNismo]

Off-road oriented FD.



Chop-topped FC.



560 AMG... truck?



Off-road Integra.



Hakosuka Wagon, based off a '97 Stagea.

 

[ImaRobot]

That Stagea sure is ugly.

 

[Tornado]

They made straight Skyline wagons before the R32 generation. Probably would have fit much better on that.

 

[GTV0819]

The way folks from Thailand turn a subcompact car into an off-roader.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Hardly tasteful in appearance aside from the color but I gotta admire the machination of this particular MX-3, which happens to not only be a bimotore, but also a bimotore with switchable drivetrain due to the way it works and 900 hp combined to boot.

Switchable drivetrain because, if car enthusiasts like manual transmissions in cars, this is double the liking because of the double manual per engine.

Incidentally, one of the few AWD cars technically, anyway to allow for AWD burnouts.

Next thing you know, the guy's going to make a real Hawker Mech

That said, I do imagine that it wouldn't be very good to keep it out in the rain

A few from the dream cruise this year in Detroit

 

[TexRex]

Citroën 2CV with an Alfa boxer four. Presumably using the Alfa gearbox as well.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Has a V8 and the body opens up like a drag car.

 

[TexRex]

The above modification isn't particularly odd. I love them to death, but no, earlier MG T-series Midgets with articulating cycle fenders mounted to the brake drum backing plate (green car) or cycle "wings" affixed to the chassis (blue car) are so common that they're bordering on cliché.

Thing is...I've never seen them on anything newer than a TD. I get it, the TF had headlight nacelles in the fenders and only the top half of the grill shell is meant to be seen; it would be very difficult, but that speedy front end is just begging for a similar treatment.

A Toyota Tacoma with an S2000 engine

And a early 911 Turbo with an 8.2 V8 from a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Old mustang but with a ecoboost engine?

Or is this a different one.

View attachment 848816

That looks more like a standard 911 and not a 930.

Outwardly, the modification to this Škoda 1000 MB is nothing but questionable...

...but its 988cc four-pot has been swapped out for a...

Spoiler

...2.5L air-cooled Tatra V8.

Spoiler

I really wish the single spoiler box wouldn't split into two like that.

That's just awesome. It's such a wacky modification and I love it.

Air-Cooled Flat-4 Golfs

Air-Cooled Flat-4 Golfs

This one is actually powered by a 13B rotary, not a VW flat 4. Here's the article: http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/11/a-bridgeported-party-in-the-rear/

Ah, your right! Silly me... Still just as odd of a modification.

A mid-engined Ford EXP Turbo

 

[DJTHEKING]

A mid-engined Ford EXP Turbo

I looked for more pictures on Google and stumbled upon this: A mid-engined 1963 Corvette.

 

[Zychotic1]

A mid-engined Ford EXP Turbo

I beleive this article to be somewhat incorrect, I have not yet found the proof, but I seem to recall this being on display at the Ford Museum (or possibly the Spirit of Ford exhibit across the street) with the information that this was the test mule that became the RS200

Not so sure about that since the EXP in the photo is an ‘85 (you could tell by the headlights) and the Rs200 came out a year prior. But I could be wrong.

This Subaru Impreza on the left.

Hayabusa swapped Bond Bug.

Mini Cooper turned into a mini-Mack dump truck!

Polaris RZR with a VW Beetle body.



This MR-2.

Off-road oriented Crown Vic truck. Because F150s are overrated.



Confused 350Z. Front of a Maserati GranTurismo and the rear of a 911.
