Fun Post today!!

What's the Favourite Tuner that you have seen featured in a mag or seen on the internet, or on the streets? (from anywhere!) could be a hybrid such as a 1/4 mile drag strip Jap car, could be an Jap muscle such as the Mitsubishi GTO / 3000GT, A fast and furious car, anything tuner related. As long as it is tuned and has mods.

The only rule is it has to be an individual car that has been tuned, and not as in I like all R32 Tuned Skylines. Post a picture of the car in question.

Try to keep it to 3 pictures max.

I was looking for a much older Veilside Supra, and instead found this. Behold the 4509GTR!

According to their website, those are actually R8 headlights and it seems to have the same setup in the rear. Those aren't included, unfortunately. If there is any upside, it is that there will only be 100 of these monstrosities made/sold.

the brown MR2

http://www.speedhunters.com/2011/08/reader…

the only stanced car I've ever wanted, though I'd never stance my own MR2. afaik it was a non-turbo MR2 that's had a 3rd gen 3S-GTE swap with larger fuel pumps and boost controller.

It would have to be Novitec, for the F12 N-Largo, and Liberty Walk, for the 458.

If were just talking about performance modifications, it would have to be Meisterschaft GT-SUS that is decatted, and fitted to R35 exhaust system

it's like one of those catwalk models that look really hot but you probably wouldn't want to date it. All high maintenance and bony.

found a more recent pic, note the front fender flares. According to the thread he's running 295's which is crazy town wide. from factory they never had more than 225 wide on the back.

A lot of the Japanese cars use really subtle lines that look waaaayy better in person. The proportions when viewed in person is just better than any picture can show.

examples are the new skyline, JDM cars, the lowered Evo8, 350z (in my opinion), and the Supra. Supra lowered with bodykit, I have seen one in person and it is freaking long and crazy sexy proportions. I thought it was the most sexy bullet train ever, this supra was massive long!! Made me feel I was standing next to a Land going JET Fighter!! That is without exaggeration!

one thing I find is that the honda engines have higher than average torque at high RPM's, >5, making the car really responsive (is that accurate?)

What an amazing combination,

USDM 240 HP @ 8,300 rpm; 153 ft lb, 207 Nm @ 7,500 rpm!!

oh yeah wiki shows the torque figures.

That is possible the only BMW I love. Japanese reliability / physics defying engines and a sleeper BMW, with the classic 80's BMW lines.

295!!!!! Crazy offset, he must have found just enough offset to squeeze 295's in and still look flush enough!

It must be so fun to handle now... Like an Elise

they saw don't touch it if its not broken... but that is way better than the stock MR2. I mean if somebody didn't love MR2 and their design I am sure they are loving it now...

Hey bbn, are you a fan of rear spoilers?

beardsbynelly - Rikerbeard > DoubleDragon 04/30/2014 at 05:11

I think it's probably over tyred, they already handle extremely well on the factory 205-225 setup.

I aim to get a similar offset and size to this one. Just waiting to get paid out from my old job.

wish I knew exactly what size and offset they are, I'm guessing 17x9" on the back and 8" wide on the front.

To answer your other question re: spoilers, I do like them on MR2's if that's what you mean. I'm not a fan when they're de-winged.

4-bangers for life!

I love the F20c. It's got pretty much all the power you need from the factory, but I've seen them push 700hp with mostly stock internals. That's insane! Talk about bulletproof.

I actually really want to do an F20c swap for my 2002. It just seems like it would be insanely fun, and you get 140 more horses in a relatively easy swap (considering their completely different companies) and great reliability. But part of me loves the stock M05 engine too much to give it up... Decisions decisions. Plus an F20c costs more than my car did. Ahaha. But I'm glad I've given you some Bavarian metal you can love. Welcome to the dark side, friend.

Always have loved the Bisimoto Twin Turbo 911. Also of course the Aardvark

And last but certainly not least, any N/A 350Z graced by Sasha Anis's hands-
