Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]

[Wadeski]

I've always been a fan of these big Chevy sleds, but Tim Allen's (the actor from Home Improvement) one is probably the best of them all.



It looks pretty stock, but the motor was swapped for a 6.1L stroker version of the Corvette ZR1 engine (DOHC, 32v, designed by Lotus) making 454hp and I'm sure a lot of torque. Transmission is built up to take the torque. The wheels look OEM but are actually custom, wider versions of the stock ones, and the suspension is stiffened.

Yeah that looks fantastic, also really like the GMC Syclone/Typhoon too as a silly special.

Sorry no plane/bike thread but thought this was next best place.

Australian-made 2800cc Rotec radial airplane 7-cylinder engine 110 horsepower @ 2,450 rpm.

How do you even ride that without A:Ending up deaf and B:Having burnt legs?

Looks shiny though

It looks like something A baddie in The Minions would ride.

Despite I really dislike the child's trike aesthetic the big front wheel gives.... I'm grudgingly impressed at that.

Want to know what it sounds like!

[PH User]

It just looks weird to me.

Deeper tone then I was expecting, at least with the exhaust setup leaking valves can be spotted.

Very subtle

Found this on the Miles Classic Jaguar website. Strange thing is that it has quite big wheels and low profile tyres that I normally poo-poo. But it looks good with them.

I’m normally a sucker for a big wheel but these cars really were virtually perfect out of the box imho. Not even sure about the removal of the vinyl roof.

this ^^^ There just seems something 'off' about the wheel and since I like the design it has to be the size

[Escort3500]

There’s nowt wrong with an original version...far nicer than the over-wheeled one
