Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[BrutherSuperior]

An engineering masterpiece. Pftt what would Nissan's R&D team know.
Looks like it's been welded together with wire coat hangers and a car battery.
First time it heats up it'll probably explode sending shrapnel out to a 2km radius.

Cheers Shaun

Did you see the 'custom' airbox? Instead of using CAD, I think the gentleman who designed everything used an Etch-a-Sketch...and drank too much coffee.

Who needs wheel bearings?

 

[Jim Prower]

still feel good about being a MINI owner? XD

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... *long pause* aaaaaaaaaammmmn...
I would kill for a stance like that!

 

[Jim Prower]

the question is, would you kill your car for it?

 

[Muzaffar]

I would actually, given that I have enough money to do the necessary mods. Nothing says your gangster like having your car scrape the road like this...

awesomeness > practicality

 

[Jim Prower]

Who wants to be gangster? Seriously? and that looks like something's about to break.

Its just an expression, like being cool, awesome, epic, and so on. Doesn't mean much really... just getting my point across. Oh, and breaking? That car is daily driven like that from the comments that I read...

^The replies are even funnier. It's F1 INSPIRED, beautiful welds. /sarcasm

I'm just curious. Have you ever welded anything in your life?

and how much of a rear submember/diff casing/floorpan/oil pan does he have left?

Those sparks are material that used to be metal that was holding the car together. Now they're practically vapor. That car has serious structural problems, and I wouldn't buy it off him.

but, hey, if destroying your car is cool, then...

 

[Joey D]

Just remember, if sparks don't fly, you're riding too high.

 

[Jim Prower]

I think I'll ride high and not suffer damage to my underbody, thanks.

No I have not and I probably wouldn't do a better job than that, but it's still not well made

I just read that whole thread... gold!

I believe my youngest brother used this same material to make a Muppet. Friend took this pic in Blacksburg.

Yep, mostly Mig, Arc, Brazing and a very small amount of Tig. I don't profess to be a good welder, i'm not, but I can do enough to get myself out of trouble if need be whilst I'm fixing something at work. If I need something done properly (eg structural strength) I'll give it to one of the guys at work who is a good welder and properly qualified to do so.

Cheers Shaun.

I'm just curious. Have you ever welded anything in your life?

Yes. And my first attempt looked notably better than that. It can be hard to do, but it is still easy to see when you've done a crappy job with it.

 

[Stotty]

Some people have waaaaay too much time and money and waaaay too little taste...

 

[TheCracker]

Isn't that just a BMW 7r34i360 Cobra?

 

[niky]

Was there a 3-series or a 5-series under all that?

For all we know, it could actually be a Ford Escort with the bestest body-kit ever.

 

[Wiegert]

BMW 728i (E23) Mustang R34 Skyline GT-R. The name's a bit short in my opinion

Here's the source

 

[TheCracker]

Too big for a 3-series. Looks like a 5 but the badge points to it being maybe a 7.

 

[Stotty]

Yes, it's a 7... or at least it was once in its life

 

[buickgnx88]

You know, as bad as the overall car is, you have to admit they did a clean job putting it all together.

 

[motortrend]

I kinda like it

 

[orimarc]

I would change the rims, the hood, and take out the badges. BOOM! A Burnout car.

I'm sure it'll need a turbo....right?

Probably a good idea to add a hot double filtered air intake too;

Nah, it needs a turboencabulator!
