Pictures of decently Modified cars [Vol. 2]

Definitely not blades.

(and yes, I was devotee of the Church of MaxPower )

I think my previous comment might have been overlooked, but they look like Fikse Profil 5S's to me.

I agree - &, to me, it's a more logical fit for a car with a Japanese engine.

I can see where you're coming from, great shout.

Not convinced though. The spokes on the Lotus look rounded, whereas the Profil 5S look more flat and straight -



I could be wrong tho!

Looks nice but too much rake and wheels look too modern

Lovely lines and a nice clean execution though

While I approve of the 2JZ, I think I'd have gone RB26 (Skyline GTR engine, for the non-beards!)

2JZ takes big power mods far more safely than the RB26.

I know and I knew someone would come along and say that.

Spotted today at my local train station - unusual colour for a modded BMW and guessing its sitting on air ride, but thought it looked very good in a restrained type of way

Thats a very short parking space!

Good call on Fiske.

Click on the fist pic posted by Matt Cup. Then click again on that image.
In the enlargement the dimples at the ends of each pair of spokes can be clearly seen.
I reckon that nails it.

That said I have just looked at other 162s and no longer like what has been done to the C pillar in the black car. The originals look better.

looks a bit like a C70 coupe roof

Definitely the cool wall. Anyone know the load length or a build thread?

Yep, saw the dimples when I looked at them both. Do the spokes and spoke faces look the same to you?

They look flatter on the 5S to my eyes.

The thing is that that's not fully a Corvette (way too long) so some interesting work gone into that (unless it's a 'shop )

Nice looking car.

I cannot get what people like about air ride all the way down, they just look too low to me. I would like to see it at driving ride height as I expect it would look nicer.

In addition to the ride height I'd change the wheels. Great colour though.

I reckon so. This angle may give a better comparison.
