Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]

[RJJ]

I love the black Mazda Rx3. Very cool motor.

What's the going rate nowadays to get one, not a shed but a nice clean example?

[Strawman]

A coupé probably £20k and up, the four door is cheaper, e.g.

Sorry if it's a repost not been on this thread for a while.

Sorry - But that's bad - Strange idea in the first place and poorly executed.

No sign of a tailgate so the pick-up bed is barely useable, and I bet it's not flat either - Single metal sheet for the back of the cab, not even a window - Crappy loose wiring on the roll-bar lights ... Bleh!

Nah I like the concept of it, to be fair I've seen much worse pickup ideas executed - although it could do with a functional tailgate

AE86 Levin, having seen videos of them on full opposite lock it does look like a hell of a lot of fun from such an unassuming car. In stock form I'd guess 95% of the people in the UK would think it was just a crappy shopping trolley! Until you reach a T-junction :3

Except those things are about as obscure as an Escort Cosworth without the giant spoiler. Anybody who cares will spot it immediately, everyone else will just see "a car".

[rb26]

Exactly my point. If you tone down the cosmetics of the ae86 you have a great car and without drawing too much attention. Only those who love cars will give you the knowing nod. I quite like that, as well as the police won't stop you for no reason like they might do if you were in a scooby or an Evo.

I'd imagine that is a bit of a handful with the fairly short wheelbase? Bit like a Clio V6 in that sense? I may be talking bks though . Certainly looks well done.

[juan king]

fifteen thousand pounds?

[e21Mark]

Does look nice but £15k? Really?

[Hugo a Gogo]

i'm pretty sure the wheelbase is the same as a 'normal' e46

In my opinion, it looks horrendous!
And the wheels don't suit it.
The 3 series compact has been ugly since day 1, to my eyes.

I disagree, the compact is foul looking car!

[e21Mark]

I like them.

Mind you, I liked the 2000 touring from the 70's too.

The 2000 Tourings certainly are an acquired taste, but I loved mine, even in hearing aid beige.

I had a dark blue one, dropped 3'' and running twin 40's etc. Sadly I have no pics but it was a proper hot hatch.

I'm sure I could build a hot Compact for way less than £15k though.

I'd rather st in my hands and clap than pay money for a 3 series compact!
