Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Tornado]

Have you actually sat in yours? Did you genuinely think it was a nice place to be?

Not a particularly worse place to be than any other car in that class in 1995 short of, say, a Golf. It's not like the Neon was like the Cavalier inside.

I have always had a soft spot for K10 Blazer's as my Uncle had one that I loved riding in as a kid. Unfortunately most have been butchered, like this one.

Granted it can still be saved(interior is rather nice) unlike all the mud truck converted ones but still.

Ya but that doesn't make it a flat out POS. They aren't spectacular cars considering they are 18 years old, but they make a pretty respectable race car. I'm sure you go to autox's.

Well they make a pretty CHEAP autocross car..But respectable RACE CAR, no not respectable..

They sure do seem to win quite a few events. Any car that is cheap, fast and simple to require has to be a fairly respectable race car.

Also, spec-Neon.

I'm actually unsure if it's fake or not (it looks fake at least). But still...

That's really weird.

Where can I get one of these? Best modification to a 2CV I've ever seen. 👍

I think they're mostly selfmade custom jobs, source an old Benz grille and the rest of the bonnet made to fit (maybe even just an extension build on the original 2CV bonnet), don't think there are kits for it but I could be wrong.

I think it works on a 2CV because of the separate round headlights making it appear slightly (only slightly) like an old pre war Mercedes for a second.
What I like about this modification is that it's funny, actually suits the design (subjectively ofcourse) but also, if it indeed requires only a different bonnet, it doesn't ruin a classic forever when you can simply retro-fit the original bonnet.

Most of the ones in my area still look like this.

Same here.

 

[Tornado]

The ones around here all look like this:

Even the GMT400 Blazers are starting to rot into the ground like countless old Nissans.

 

[Slash]

^^^^Well I've definitely seen my fair share of those as well but generally most are in decent shape save for a few rust spots or bubbles.

I don't know who's luckiest?

Yea, like they should. Tons around here still.


That green one.. nothing really wrong with it except the rims, set of 4x4 Rally rims like the black one above would really help it.

Found this in the GT6 Car & Track Wishlist thread. Let the discussion commence.

EDIT: Just found this was fake. I should have been smarter.

Anything makes a respectable race car if you throw enough money at it.

Which is totally irrevelant here, because racecars.

That steering wheel, that shiny plastic. That 3 speed automatic (in 1995!) the oil leaks through the head gasket, the poor rear visibility because the trunk is so high for no apparent reason, the crappy resale value they had because of all that...

The ACR might have had a killer suspension setup, the SRT might have had enough power to spin the wheels in 3rd, but the whole package in the end was still a Neon; like it's gassy doppelgänger, inert.

If it's fake then they should build it, that's a well-executed Veyron/VW parody, I like it.

Am I on my own here? Or does anybody else think that that car is stunning?

 

[parksideu14]

I do. IMO it's much better looking than the actual Veyron.

And the Craigslist ad reads....
" i bought porsche signs for the car and it looks like a porsche so its got porsche signs and a boxter sign"

[Downhill Dino]

The sad part is, people will really fall for that. Trust me, met a few when an employee at my middle school owned an MR-S.

Hahaha, I like the thought, kind of like:

"My car has 4 wheels, a Ferrari has 4 wheels, therefore, Ferrari."

Saw this on the drive back from the auto show.

 

[Bopop4]

Apart from the lack of proper rear lights, that thing looks pretty good.

 

[Ken]

I have to agree. Heck, I don't even mind the tail lights.

 

[Slash]

Ducktail needs to be smaller but it looks good.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

I agree, the 240Z looks good, despite the lack of the lights and the duckbill spoiler need to be adjusted. It not that bad. 👍

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I like it.

And, the lights were removed to save weight, I'm guessing, right? As long as there's some purpose to removing the original lights, they're forgiven.

 

[playnthru]

Sounds like a V8..👍

EDIT: It could just be the audio?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Enough people have done V8 swaps into 240s.

If all had V8's that wouldn't be enough.

But does it sound like a V8? Or it just the audio?
