Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]

[MatthewO]

That kamei cup golf is only decently modified if it's an original, if it's a DIY job then tut etc...

[Adz The Rat]

Testarossa with huge individual throttle bodies, few other engine mods, 489bhp, 360 Modena brakes, 512 TR wheels.

I drove it down to Car Fest NW today, its amazing, the sound is incredible.

What should be the standard output on one of these?

A smidge under 400bhp. 489 is a big improvement!

I saw a Testarossa in Essex last week and was surprised at just how dated it looked. The wheels looked far too small as well. I used to think they were awesome when I was 15 but they don't seem to have aged well.

Let's see your attempt ;-)

Kamei love it, the owner of the kamei company and brand has been in it :-)

And i write the history (most exstensive collection in the world) and even found the original in the usa after many years though it had changed a lot by then.

been collecting rare bits for the car for some time (original indicators from Oz, mirrors from USA etc).

Thanks Cledus Snow




The car was modified from this:



So i would argue to say it was "decently modified" ;-)

Love it. So utterly, utterly pointless but equally so brilliant someone has done it.

Really glad there's people out there that do this.

Missed this bit to what the builder said on power...

builder said:

With the current small turbos we'll see about 1700hp. But the Engine itself can cope okay with about 2300hp.

Spotted this earlier

Gartrac built Cortina with a Cosworth engine.
