The Embarrassing Car Thread

The lights are bigger than the car!

Damn, people been doing this for years, back in the 70's every second HJ/HX Holden had Ford XC Fairmont rectangular headlights and another common swap was HQ wagon/ute tail lights on HR Holden's, something different I suppose.

memories of torana tail lights on vw beetles for the ulitmate 911 look

Yeah and the Torana Sunbird lights went on heaps of things too, also EJ lights on Bedford trucks and a third light put into the bumper of HQ sedans....looked quite good that one.

I remember when I bought my brand new RS2000 back in late 79 I seriously contemplated putting the then new Commodore tail lights onto it......thank fuck I never did.

^^^^ Thank fuck you didn't. Would have been horrible.

Reminds me of when the 1st VB Commie came out... I have seen the front of one from forward of the A-pillar, including the bonnet/front guards/front end mated to a HZ panel van...

Mazdaspeed 3 (mx-3)

Yes that's right this awesome Mazdaspeed mx-3 is for sale! I spent the last 4 years emulating the famous Mazdaspeed team, I think I nailed it! Anyways this wonderful piece of machinery has to be sold to make room for my new project of converting a VW cc into a Tesla model S. This car is perfectly street legal and current on registration, has many new parts and only 87k miles on a new, used Japanese motor I installed myself, sorry lost the receipts when my garage burned down.

Mods:
Custom intake and frame integrated FMIC
Forged throttle body
Intake manifold baffles(custom)
Undersized supercharger pully(30% more power)
Ported and polished valve covers
Vortex inducing spiral exhaust valves(at least 10 hp)
Custom hung Yoshimura side pipe exhaust system.

No lowballers! the price is Firm.
