Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Slicks]

There's one thing that an SR20 won't make alot of that a 5.0 will - Torque, and down low in the powerband. Besides which, why would you put a 4-cylinder in the place of a 5.0? Hell, I can at least see why you would put one in a regular 4-cylinder car, but you're downgrading for chissakes!

was a 5 litre now its a 2.4L 4 cycl

Obviously a retard.

That's like putting a MGZR engine in a V6 Mondeo.

@Holden: I had to look at that twice, but.... Bloody social climbers...

if you need a fix of crappy mods check out the 'carbage' section of the top gear website www.topgear.com - Pure gold

Check out the interior.

@ PunkRock: nothing wrong with paint or body, interior can be easily fixed. I don't think it's THAT bad.

Whoa, you're right! Seems like a whole page disappeared actually.

Maybe the owner of the car is a mod here...

Yer, just didn't look right to me

Why not? They both make about as much power anyways, and ones just silly lighter.

In all honesty, the only problem I see with it is the hood, which would cost $10 to fix.

Because the SR20DE maxed out is making about as much power as the stock 5.0 is making with 150,000 miles on it. For the cost and effort of making the SR20 swap, a plain easily-built 5.0 could be making a boatload more power. It's simple math.

Nothing against the Japanese engine; it's an icon of high-rev durability and power, but it's not the be-all and end-all of performance. For the money spent on the swap there are wayyyyy better ways to make a 5 liter Mustang quicker.

Someone wanted a picture of the ricers in the film 'Cars,' I have sourced one of the cars, the charcter 'Wingo.'

Oh. I wasn't sure how much it would actually cost to swap the engine. My apologies.

Originality points of the type of car he chose.

Head over to http://www.dodgeintrepid.net sometime. You'll find plenty more like it. This one was an example of something I can not stand: riced out 'Treps! They're cruisers, not racers!!

If you thought that Intrepid was bad, check out these ugly ones:
F&F:

White version of one above?

F&F meets WTF?!?

"Outrageous mod" Intrepid (click here)
And finally, another ricer Trep

All I can say is ! I own an '03 model and after driving it I can say it is *not* a sports car; never has been and never will be. To each they're own, but these cars were mutilated, IMO.

 

[xXSilencerXx]

I wish I could've had a camera with me today. While I was on 95 I saw this guy with a Celica ( the generation with the 2 circle headlights ) that had put a Supra back end on his car with a huge ricer wing and everything.

 

[GT4_Rule]

I like the Intrepid pics...who said a car can't be modded to be a "racer"?

 

[TVRKing]

I quite like the white one.

I think the picture speaks for itself so I'm not going to say anything.

 

[slidesquad#1]

Yeah, have fun driving that in the rain buddy. Exposed air filters are a really good idea.

RICERs knowledge about cars, zero. RICERs knowledge about questionable modifications, ummm....way too much.

 

[ozyran]

That poor 3rd gen Firebird!! Man, he coulda lit it on fire to make it look better than that. Shame shame shame shame shame!!

so what's your excuse for making a pointless post?

 

[boombexus]

I'm sure an insane amount of money was put in to this thing, but I'm still left thinking to myself, self, WTF?

[Jim Prower]

well, he obviously didn't like how the doors opened.

as a car, it fails, but it makes a nice peice of abstract art....if you take off the DAMN DUBS!

 

[bondy_1625]

Ok, so why do the rear doors open like that? (thats a new one too!)
That would surely make it harder to get in and out of the rear of the car would it not?
Maybe its so you can use it as a coffee table or something! :\

edit:

Hahahahahaaa....*cough*...*Splutter*....ahahaa....*chokes and dies*.............

 

[xXSilencerXx]

What is up with all the camber in the rear tires. It looks stupid and is not functional at all. I just can't understand these people.
