Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

About the towing hitches: I would put a towing hitch one basically anything over 300bhp and most cars with less. It's just a practical way of transporting items without having to actually put them in the car... Plus I quite like the look of sporty cars towing trailers.

I was even on the motorway on the way to Scotland one year and saw a Ferrari towing a caravan... I was only about 11 so I'm not sure what type of Ferrari it was from memory. Since then, I've been hooked on the idea of towing hitches on such cars.

Well, ever since plowing grillefirst into one as a teen, I've never really liked trailer hitches. They drove away without a scratch. I nearly had the airbag go off. ('92 Plymouth Voyager)

Appears to actually be later-model Civic front lights, and a custom (downforce-producing, I might add,) nose. All on what appears to be a Time Attack car.

but they did use the Z3 fenders...ech.

Nope, RSX front lights with the J's Racing front bumper. Which, on an RSX, looks totally awesome... but not on this.

 

[Jim Prower]

Ah, You're right. They did change the design somewhere along the way.

 

[TVRKing]

Apart from needing seriously offset rear wheels it replaces the usual V6 engine in the back with a set of rear seats and a 1000cc engine in the front. It's an epic scale fail.

998cc to be exact.

It fails beyond the call of fail.

This guy fabs his own hitches for the Elise/Exige. 350$ shipped, strong enough for a trailer for extra set of wheels, jack, tools and cooler. BA.

^^ I find that pretty cool actually. Not questionable at all, imo.

That's pretty much your average Seat Ibiza isn't it?...

Yeah, give or take a few things, such as about 70kgs+ of worthless fiberglass, mufflers, paint, etc...
Most "tuned" car over here presently. There's a guy near here that has hit 290km/h with one (fully modified, he only uses it for that, btw - rest of the time the car is resting on a special bay he made)

mine just went throught this
getting it back soon from Sony,just recieved their confirmation of shipping

 

[Beerz]

Awesome!

Love Giger's style.

How do I buy that?

 

[GBWH1991]

I have stickers all over my PS3, about 30 - 40 in varying sizes... I would never mould onto a console or anything like that - the furthest I would go is to paint a design on the console. Trouble is, I'd want so many different designs...


That Lotus with a towing hitch is an excellent idea - carrying a set of spare wheels and tyres would be handy for a 'run what you bring' track day.

 

[Digital-Nitrate]

Awesome!

I posted more pics and info in the following thread:

• Don't Like the Piano Black Finish on the PS3... check these out!

As far as I know it isn't for sale, but if they had one with the Alien larvae busting out of the top like in the first film... now that might be something I'd like to buy.

Alien Ware FTW

 

[Jim Prower]

Heh...I just made a "panda" scheme one on the site. All it'd need is the tofu shop sticker...

aaaaaand I better shut up. Actually, I would like a Blue/White Wii...with a Star Fox Squadron sticker on it...

Apart from the fact I'd linked the wrong pic, fixed now But it does seem like SEATs area favourite with the tasteless mods and big bass crowd.

Oh.....so wrong....

 

[PAPAOSA]

In more ways than one...

So much so that we gave it Shed of the Year.

And the listed is not quite all that's wrong with it.

 

[homeforsummer]

The halfords wiper blades? Stuff hanging from the rear-view mirror? That it's a Metro that's still in existance?

 

[Flerbizky]

.......

So wrong in so many ways :-|

Excellent idea to remove a brakedisc and caliper...

 

[PAPAOSA]

Maybe just a couple more

WTF...


And this one I wasn't sure if I should have been posted in the "Funny Pics" Thread...

 

[bergauk]

The last ones kinda neat. And if the first one had actual tires meant for offroad it'd be pretty nice.

 

[TheCracker]

The last one is obviously a Photoshop too.

 

[Beerz]

It does look like it, I have to agree.

 

[Jim Prower]

Photoshop...yes...(The lower edges of the rear fender are INSIDE the tire, and thus it looks like a bad 3D model)

But, still...EPIC.

and LAWL at the ghettolady's 'busa.

 

[Tornado]

If there was ever a chance that the Toyota would ever be used off-road (which, based on appearance, isn't likely), I'd argue that scissor doors would be a good idea. Of course, heaven help you if you ever roll it.

 

[TheCracker]

Ok, so you've opened your monster Tacoma's scissor doors and jumped out. Can you now reach up to the handle to close the door? Chrome-plated step ladders in the flat bed maybe?

 

[Famine]

The halfords wiper blades? Stuff hanging from the rear-view mirror? That it's a Metro that's still in existance?

That too. But also because the kit costs - get this - £1,350 (anyone want to guess what value a 1990 Metro City 1.0 has?) and is attached to the wrong car.

 

[Tornado]

I'd be hard pressed to know how to close those doors if they were equipped on a Neon. He really didn't think about the whole "door handles designed to be pulled up" bit.

 

[Jim Prower]

That's when you go for the "power" option.
