The 1,250kg, 500bhp, TTRS powered Yeti... a legend on UK track days!

I love how stock it looks

Volvo 242 powered by a 500HP BMW V10 and brakes from a 997 Porsche GT3. This is perfect.

Have you seen the citigogo?

I hadn't seen it, but I had heard the same guys was building one with a (I think) 1.8tsi engine.

He's clearly mad

One of my mates tried to do something similar thing back in the early 90's.

Vauxhall Nova with the engine and running gear from a Saphire Cosworth. Unfortunately he never really got it handling properly, but it was hilariously fast in a straight line.

Oh Lord.

That M2 rendering is absolutely spot on.

The Audi A3 saloon is a wonderful looking car, too.

That Volvo is super nice.

I do believe I linked that before. I love the old Eclipses and that one is no exception. Proper modified ones = big bonus.

Good god, the MX-5 in the background of that S13 picture

Subaru SVX with Silvia S15 front clip looks...surprisingly good...wow.

It's always ever this one picture that gets the front swaps

I hammered the '61 DeSoto pretty hard elsewhere and was looking for a nice shot of a standard '60 to compensate when I found this one. Lowered just a tad, good tire/wheel ratio, and the right sort of spoke count.

And that gorgeous front end was left alone.

 

[Tunerguy21]

Had to throw this one in here.

I never knew I needed this until now but I need it.

So far it's just a dream edit of my car. Hopefully some day in the near future I'll be able to recreate this in real life. (except for the brake vents on the front bumper, I think I'll swap out that bumper with an Indonesian one if possible)

Probably the meatiest rears I've seen on a T3 intended for the street. It's difficult to go big on these cars--Ghias as well--without it looking really odd, but someone surely managed. They appear to be something along the lines of a 195/70 or a 215/65. Hard to go wrong with Fuchs as well, even if they're getting to be like TE37s and BBS RSes.
