Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

We have fun on the public roads as well. We just go down to ol' Mexico for it.

Here is an unusual car I posted in another thread that someone built that I see in my area often. I think it may be a heavily modified Metro GS, but I am not sure, what do you guys think?

Almost certainly a Metro. Hypermilers regularly hack them apart like that. That thing probably gets 80 mpg.

 

[playnthru]

I spotted one around here claiming to get 100mpg.

Not nearly as radical though. I think this is a awesome mod on a not-so-awesome car.👍


EDIT: I finally made a Flicker account and figured out how to use it.

Found this while looking at MR2s in the DFW area.

At least it's not a Fiero.

Why is there a Ferrari showing up when you search for MR2s?

 

[Doog]

That's actually not too bad looking, apart from the ride height.

With the MR-S being a capable track car, wouldn't it be interesting if someone built it up?

You could save money by painting on the Ferrari badge!

Suuuuure, Mexico

Nevada?

Shhh it's Mexico

It looks so shocked.

More cars should be like that. I think it looks great. I'd rock that 180SX all day.
And the GT-K is awesome too. But then I have a soft spot for Suzuki Cappuccinos.

I like it. Just needs lowered a bit and you can fool all but the trained eye

 

[Youngun]

Omg on that Superleggera UGR. Pitty, love that AMS Alpha 12. But did hear that the AMS guys working on a higher HP kit than the 12, 1500whp or something

I found it for the same price as non-Ferrari looking base versions of the same car that I've been looking at. Don't think I could bring myself to do this one instead, though.

There are conversions like that.
180sx rear with a R32 front end

and many more...

It's not terribly accurate in some parts, but I'd be sorta fine with it. However, I would rather have a TRUE Ferrari.

Almost certainly a Metro. Hypermilers regularly hack them apart like that. That thing probably gets 80 mpg.

Seeing how the headlights are and that door, I believe so too. I didn't know they did that with cars like that, I would like to see even more pictures of these modified Metro's!

Seeing how most of the car is made of fiberglass, gives it better aerodynamics, therefore, better MPG. I am curious to know what the owner calls this thing and how much MPG it gets.

Okay, but I don't want to break records. I want to have fun on public roads.

You really think you're not going to have fun on public roads with 2,500 hp? Oh, dear lorddddd

You'd probably have fun scaring yourself stupid every time you accelerate.

You'd probably have fun scaring yourself stupid every time you accelerate.

Indeed, that's the kind of power you probably never get used to. It's probably comforting to drive a 400 horsepower car after that
