Pictures of decently Modified cars

To my mind, BIG power in a small car doesn't necessarily make a decently modified car. The key to that 500 will be not making it look TOO far from standard.

It will 'look' pretty much like the white one in the pic above, a Fiat 600 Arbath 1000 TCR.

Then it WILL be epic!

As you may or may not have noticed...that's a Mazda rotary engine there too!

Awesome - could be new screensaver.

mm, not sure. would need to see more pics. the modern tyres and air ride seem at cross purposes.

Just spotted this on a bike forum. I can't imagine it will appeal to most, but I love it!

strangely [as an early 911 fan] i can see the appeal of doing this if you know your car is due a paint job in the near future. i;d much prefer to drive something quirky rather than rusty/peeling.

On the comic book 911, not something I would do but very much appreciate it for what it is. A bit of fun.

I think that's what makes it work, the other one on period wheels and tyres just seems....'been there, done that'

How about on a Zonda instead?



I'm sure I read somewheree that this is owned by Horacio's son.

It's owned by an Argentinian, painted by someone called Daniela Boo.

Looking at her website she has painted a Zonda as well



Reminds me of a bit of Lichtenstein's work

Quite aside from personal preferences, there are plenty of good reasons for dumping an S65 into an E46.

And this sentence, all, demonstrates ably the reason that many PHers complain about not getting laid.

Quite possibly the truest thing said on here in a long time.

Quite possibly the most ctiest thing said on here in a long time actually.

The whole point of a car forum is to get the geek out so we don't bore the socks off people talking about cars.

I just don't get that paintwork at all. Just looks daft to me.

If the artist's career takes off it's a good investment. Those BMW art cars would be worth a fortune, if they ever decided to sell them.
Like this one by Andy Warhol



not ideal as a daily driver though, too "look at me" for my taste. I'd like to see them on the road though, amongst endless silver/grey cars it's something different, and easily reversed with a spray booth.

Evo...

Old dyno sheet, owner hadn't uploaded a newer one yet which showed closer to the fun side of 700hp.

Bit laggy with the turbo but that's a whole other form of fun, right?

[k-ink]

I'm sure it'll be a blast for a few months until it dies an expensive death.

Brave colour scheme for an Evo...

I glanced at it and though it was just another Sue-Bo-roo!

Brilliant. Thanks

I know it may be slightly of topic but i used to paint trucks for a living,(hence the user name).
I thought that the usualy boring trucks looked quite decent when done in 2/tone blue.
