Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[buickgnx88]

Looks awesome, though the paint job is sorta sloppy.

 

[Leonidae]

okay, where's my barf bucket.. that hideous thing manages to insult both cars. (Elan and MX-5)

 

[ferrari_chris]

I think I have those headlights in my Mini.

 

[MCubed]

Made of awesome.^

 

[Stotty]

Quite like it... particularly the shot with the minilites.

 

[nk4e]

Wasn't there a Miata bodykit like that?...that is a miata...
240sx with a G35 Engine?

 

[TheCracker]

👍 Looks good, especially with the Minilites. Don't know about the legalities of having the headlights mounted so low. I think, in the UK at least, the centre of the headlight has to be no less than 26" from the ground. Or at least it used to be.

The Elan had pop-up headlights like the MX-5/Eunos/Miata anyway. This looks more like a nod towards another 60's low-run British sports car like a Turner or something. If you are going to have non-popup lights on a MX-5 you want some 26R style fared in items.

-> Got this from our folks at Jalopnik:

Chinese Lamborghini Mucielago Built From Nissan 300ZX

^ For the same amount of money of building this monstrocity; he/she should have either mod the Z in a more tasteful/vicious manner. Or he/she could have bought the 370Z. I bet its a major pain parking it backwards.

 

[Mark T]

I would say that's the most questionable modification in this thread.

 

[TheCracker]

At least it has genuine Diablo headlights

Try to guess which car is:

 

[Beerz]

200SX?
I like the front view, actually...

^^ This thing's gonna looka AWESOME when it's done!

 

[Flerbizky]

Try to guess which car is:

Sorry.. Straight out of Mad Max, Next Generation.. Can't help but love it..

Awesome - bar the zorst which is a little over the top

 

[mPWRD]

Um... 200SX? Camaro? Fiero? What in hell is that? Looks like someone cobbled it out of stuff they found at the dump... And what's with the garden hose at the back?

 

[MCubed]

THAT 240SX IS NOT QUESTIONABLE
AT ALL
IT IS PURE DISTILLED AWESOME
And it was in the Imports thread a few months ago.
The mere fact that I REMEMBER it over all the other imports means it is awesome and I want it.

 

[Glanza-V]

I Like that 240 .

 

[Duke]

Meh. It's a fake Rat Ricer instead of a fake Rat Rod. I'm not buying it. Fake patina is still fake.

 

[Glanza-V]

 

[Beerz]

Way to ruin a 190.
Oh wait. needs stickers. Can't believe they left those out. They threw everything else in there anyway...

 

[MCubed]

How do you know it's fake? All that's really broken are the cracks in the bumpers and the matte black paint being dirty.

 

[PAPAOSA]

WTF...is this to help protect the spoiler whilst parking

FAIL..

 

[buickgnx88]

That's a "Curb Feeler". Basically back in the day, people (mainly ones with lowriders) would put them on the fenders, and when they made contact with the curb, they would know not to go any farther, or else they'd scratch their wheels.

 

[Beerz]

What happened to the good old know-the-size-of-the-car-you're-driving feeling?

 

[Keef]

His choice of tires is certainly questionable. Hankook RS-2s have come in last place in virtually every aspect in every test against its competitors.

Notice the 300ZX C-pillar covers on that 240. Nice. It's just another tuning style--I forget the name--and I think it's pretty sweet in its own right.

WTF...is this to help protect the spoiler whilst parking

FAIL..

Curb feelers are great, lol. They're actually popular on older cars. They were in back then. They make a scraping sound on a concrete curb so you know when you're close.

 

[Turbo Lag]

I like that 240. Although the exhaust pipes are just a bit too far.

 

[Delirious]

Saw this at work today...with Xenon lights...WHAT THE &@#$

 

[Turbo Lag]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Beerz]

I say quit your work now.

 

[buickgnx88]

Don't be so crass, he's just ballin'!

 

[Perfect Balance]

That 240sx is pure awesome. The fact that a lot of it looks like that as a result of constant beating and abuse makes it that much more awesome.

EDIT:

Hankook RS-2s have come in last place in virtually every aspect in every test against its competitors.

Remember when you were considering buying them and I sort of played them off because they were blatant copies of Advan Neovas'?

Would have saved you some time if you took my word for it then...
