Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]

[vincegail]

If Leonardo da Vinci were to paint a picture of a pile of puke, it would be decently painted. Ugly, but decently painted.
The Foose Jaguar E-Type is a pile of puke. But decently painted.
(not that I want to compare Foose with Da Vinci, of course)

The Jag is two steps on; analogous to Joanna Lumley (at 75) in stripper heels and a sequin boob-tube.

Yep. I'd hit that like the fist of an angry god.

An 'Absolutely Fabulous' way to spend some time I'd imagine

That's very cool.

Years ago I nearly bought a BMW 3.0Li and that would have been epic with a similar type of conversion. Maybe a V10 from the M5?

How about this E9? You probably don't need a powerplant too mental with something this light.

3.2 six 240hp S52 from an M3

E9 you say ? Here's my choice :

Pretty much anything the lads at Retropower build is beautifully modded :

Whilst I'm not really into Yank stuff, the quality and attention to detail of the stuff these guys produce is stunning :

the quality is stunning and yet.... the wheels (again!) just don't work for me

[Slippydiff]

Chavved up Celica anyone ?



Well lets not be too hasty and jump to any conclusions ...

Of all the body shells they could have chosen...

[anonymous-user]

That would be a lot more fun without the bodywork

It works for Aerial.

[HM-2]

That's fantastic.

It certainly looks better without the bodywork on it!

As for the "Celica" - I know it's wrong, but I love it. Someone has created an utter track monster then clothed it in something so off to the side of the Jap scene that it would only have got a bit-part in TFATF. You can imagine the looks at a trackday when that rolls off the trailer...then the completely different looks when it screams past people with THAT V8 wail...

This. Smaller wheels with more sidewall. Sidewalls are like sideboobs - the more the merrier.

Personally i've always found big body cars like the charger good with larger wheels, a set of 18-20's look alright on them and sure it could use more sidewall i'm pretty sure the Speedkore cars are pushing out atleast a decent 800+hp so I can imagine they have some gnarley huge brakes behind those big wheels that in most cases you probably couldn't fit anything less than an 18" wheel over.

Quoted figure is 950-1000 ponies and 950 torques in the one I posted images of.

Brakes look pretty substantial :



But 950hp takes some reigning in (Speedkore reckon this car tips the scales at just over 1500kg) which given it's size I'd say is pretty reasonable.

I have to say that I'm surprised that they're only 19's - thought they were a fair chunk larger
