hideous!? that car is sick. i'd change the hood, but that's it. the scoop makes a big difference im sure, but it could be done sleeker. that car is gorgeous. i'd like to meet the owner and tell him to get his a** on nico

It looks like poo. The car is vicious, but it looks like poo.

It has a vert boot I think it would look less bad if he made a cowl hood. I'm sure it's fast but if he doesn't have some major suspension upgrades it's a death trap.

obviously some major work has been done to the car. i doubt the suspension was left stock or cheap. and i dont know how everyones saying it's ugly. it's a completely mint stock body besides the hood. the scoop is there for obvious reasons but like i said before, you could modify the scoop. that is one of the cleanest vert builds i've ever seen.

This car is a little to Mad Max for my taste. Its got two ungly protruding pipes sticking out of the rear, the steering wheel looks like it came off of a spaceship ride from the mall, and the hood scoop looks ready to fire machine gun rounds from it. I think this guy could have found a way better candidate to put a SBC into...like a Chevy.

Definitely could be made cool.

Could also be replicated fairly easily (and properly).

can't pass it off as a sleeper with the hood though I'm not much for any kind of engine swap unless it's another nissan engine. I saw a supra engine in an s13 at a local car show. I am on putting the wrong manufacturer's engine into a car. It's just not my thing.

Awesome. Just awesome. Must be nice to have a soundtrack like that to listen to when the top is down.

And if that hood scoop is functional you have no right to knock it.

They have very high offsets, thus they're adapter friendly.

best mullet EVAR!!!!!!

oh, and I have every right to mock that s***ty hood scoop. its bare metal. its square, its tacky, and who cares if its functional. dude said it was a DD. yeah its carbed, but it wont sufficate the motor if you space the hood out for clearance instead of hack it to hell.

To me a DD should be a balance of form and function, this car is def not in balance.

After that long rant, i'll admit, its not far from being saved...

im sure its a much stronger transmission than the ka's. plus im sure it has a shiftkit or is somewhat built to handle the power. auto > manual on those

i love exhausts like that. my friends vette has the center piping 4" straightpipe. center pipes are like side pipes: it's a sign of power. just like those wheels and tires. the hood is the only thing that needs revamping if you ask me.
