well. i get the feeling that its generally disliked...

... im gunna make a bold move and say i like it... photo shopped or not, it's pretty original (from what ive seen anyway) and i like how clean it is. however a good point is made with the transformer lookalike thingo...

cheers. James.

I am not so sure it is photoshopped. Custom hinges are not uncommon nowadays, neither are airbags. The back wheel is on a funny angle in the pics where it is dumped, but it looks consistant in all the pics. The shadows look ok to me, so I am not sure where that conculsion came from. I have looked at these pics trying to find inconsistancies, and I can't find any, which would be rather hard if all the pics were chopped.

If it is chopped, then it is a very good job, someone has put alot of work into it. If it is real, the owner needs a slap upside the head for doing that to a perfectly good Accord. Personally, I think it is real, someone has gone to alot of effort to make this a show car, but its appeal is limited. This is a good example of money not very well-spent.

yeh, i rkn this one is real. you can see the split in the bonnet in the 4th or 5th pic(s), add a couple of struts, that explains the bonnet. you can see the airbag setup in the boot (u can just see the 2 black tanks). the boot opening up like that has been done a million times, just hinges/struts. the door setup is just hinges, nothing special about that. other than that, i cant really see anything to make it seem as tho its been chopped. as has previously been said, there are some pretty crazy cars over there. anyone seen the 300ZX with 2JZ and massive single turbo setup?

Edited by VB-

think i'd rather have the VX commo in the background with the monaro style lights. the interior on the accord seems really tacky with the switches n pressure guage, considering they've gone so far with the outside of the car. looks like they've just used a self tapper through the woodgrain panels

dohhhhhhh :D

It's actually a deceptacon.

Moments after those photos were taken it turned into a pile of crap...or was that before?

I've spent a couple of weeks in the UAE here and there and the guys in that part of the world certainly have their own "style" :D . But in the end who cares, its mums 17 sec shopping trolley.

and now some dancing fruit!

Looks like the 'merican "niggoz" have to catch up somewhat. I dont mind looking at the stuff, but i'd never own it. unless I had Sheeetloads of money, even then it would be say, my 20th car. much nicer cars to spend that kind of money on! with, say, performance!

Gotta ask tho, what is the point? does it all boil down to impressing chicks? or impressing yo' boyz? which begs the next question....

Doesn't their religion teach to be conservative, & not so dam flashy & boastful with their money... & if it doesn't... well it f#cking should!

Yes Islam does teach to be humble, and not to be a spend thrift.

Unfortunately the Gulf boys have a problem with showing off.

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
