What is that based off of? I'm pretty sure it's a third-gen MR-2, but I could be wrong.

Looks like an MR-S, if the brake light bar is any indicator.

The side mirrors and wind deflector also look like the MR-S (3rd gen. MR-2)

And yet there's no noise restrictions on a Harley-Davidson.

"Loud pipes save lives."

I guaran:censored:tee you a Harley guy who likes to leave his house at 6 in the morning--not caring the least bit about others' sleeping habits--would pitch a fit over someone else making just as much noise when he's trying to rest.

Can't remember if this vehicle has been posted here before. But a couple of my friends in Massachusetts have seen this in person around Boston.

For some odd reason, the rear end reminds me of this:

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

Meanwhile in Dubai, Sony Middle East along with some other company teamed up and decided to make this:

Welcome back to the year 2005 everyone!

You could win that Hummer if you booked a hotel from one of their services.

DUB looking Hummer? Check.
Awful Wheels and Livery? Check.
TV's and consoles inside the cabin? Check.

I actually really liked that Mazda ute-conversion. It looks natural if that makes sense.

The Fox looks like it was really well done.

And no, it's not a 'shop.

To be fair, the homage would be worse if it was done to an actual modern-day Charger

The engine lid and bonnet give it away being a ZZW30 MR-S.

The "Mustang" is actually a 1975 Corolla.

Should have kept it as a Corolla.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

If that guy wanted a Toyota that looked liked a Mustang so bad; he could've just bought a 1st gen celica.

Why oh why oh why do these cars exist?

I know I'm the only one, but this is hilarious to me. I love it when someone dresses up a little car as something else. I'd put this right up there with the Suzuki Cappacino dressed as a Viper GTS-R.

Remember posting this abomination of an E-Type a while back (think it was in this thread not 100% sure), but it certainly is a true eye-sore. Plus what's worse is that it has that 5.7L Chevy V8 in the middle, and if I recall correctly from when I read it a while back, it even had a stupidly large 8.2L Turbo'ed Caddy V8 in it at one point ...

Whilst we're on the subject of E-Types... I was going to post this next one in the Tasteful Modifications thread, because aside from looking absolutely gorgeous, the work that went into it is astounding. However, I felt there may have been a riot with potentially many displeased purists, if I did post it there .

Anyhow, the E-Type is question; dubbed the "Japuar", is the creation of two brothers, built to go Drifting, complete with a 480hp non-VVTi spec, single turbo'ed 1JZ motor under the bonnet .

The rear end was taken from an E60 M5, to take the abuse that drifting would throw at it of course, and the gearbox is of a BMW variety too, taken from a 330d, but the front A-Frame was completely fabricated to match the E-Types original setup, and they even managed to get hold of a genuine Jaguar Heritage Floor-pan as well.

Aside from looking absolutely fantastic, I love the fact that it's an E-Type built for drifting, which is one of the many reasons I love drifting in the first place, is the level of variation you can get, and from the on set, the "Japuar" doesn't look like your typical drifter. It's the little details I love too, like the custom Billet wheels that look like an homage to the D-Types wheels, and the the hardtop and boot's vents that look like the ones you'd see on an E-Type Lightweight.

Generally though, it's just the amount of work that has gone into it that's just amazing, especially when you consider where they started with the E-Type in the beginning, as you can see on the original SpeedHunters article . The fact that it's an E-Type built for drifting, and not designed to be original, may be completely sacrilegious and an outright sin to some, but as the article says, quite frankly, get over it, because it looks stunning, and the fact it's built for drifting in the first place, is enough to win me over anyway .

However what makes me curious out of all this, is what the "Japuar" is up to now, since the SpeedHunters article is relatively old; posted September last year, and it was ran briefly at a shakedown, but I haven't seen anything online of it's whereabouts. Would make a stunning addition as a potential BDC entry though....

Here's some collection of weird modifications on cars over here...Stance on accord and camry, awful 2000-ish mods... you name it.

I already posted this before but looks like more of these are coming...

Also what's with these Sparco Tow Hooks?

(BTW This skyline looks mostly fine)
