Rezz is correct, it was featured with a red one is SPEED magazine, issue 7. It's the work of Ernie Parry from Skyline Imports. The red one was at Final Battle on the J's Racing stand.

It was based off the Kakimoto kit and the legality is questionable considering the amount of fibreglass in it.

Parry was quoted as saying that "drive-in-drive-out, the widebody conversion is up to $30,000". OUCH.

Both red and yellow cars are pretty stock power wise.

there is 6 in existence in australia...of the fiberglass ones from skyline imports....ive seen them all....i used to drive past there every day onthe way home from work...there was a couple of white ones and a black ( i think)........I dont think even the real kakimoto ones are actually legal in aus as the suspension and chassis are stock even though the body is over a foot wider than stock, housing (if i remember correctly) 13in wide rims....395/30/18(i think)............ur only allowed to increase ur track by an inch overall.....not 12 or more..lol

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
