Hey,

Just thought I'd post some pics of a 'sporty' looking car I saw at uni this week. From a far I saw the bonnet scoop and thought it may have been a civic sedan (which would be funny anyway), however as I approached it I saw the well respected KIA badge on the front. Sarcasm aside, this would have to be one of the more pointless mods I've ever seen on a car (my mate has a KIA and we always make jokes about how he should invest in a kit - little did I know KIA kits even existed!!).

Has anyone else seen any outrageously bad/unnecessary mods to similar cars? I remember seeing another person driving around uni with a civic where the only mods were fluro mud flaps.

Anyway, hope you find some humour in the attached pics and apologies for the bad quality - they were taken on my phone camera.

Cheers

EDIT: Removed plates!

I saw a car today that made me physically sick...

It was a lime green metallic VN Commodore, some kind of lower bodykit and a GT wing on the boot

The GT wing and portions of the bodykit were painted bright purple as well as the window surrounds.

It had a stock ride height and 15 inch mags

What an atrophy...

I remember sometime ago they did release a limited run of this blue wrx lookalike model. So I believe the way that KIA looks is how it came from the factory, correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunate for the owner, he/she not only paid to get a lookalike WRX but also the attention of being laughed at.

Yeah, used to be one parker in the shopping centre at my local shops (yes, IN they have some shop set up with a few cars there, pretty dumb idea. CAN I TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE MATE?) anyways, a crummy blue one like that featured there for a while... my mates and i always had a good laugh at it on the way to Coles. :P

Seen 2 "fooley seeck" holden astras.

A dark red one with a weird bodykit, mesh grille, fartcan exhaust and chrome wheels.

Another blue one which had a fartcan, chrome wheels and 2 (yes 2!) spoilers. One on top of the other.

Both drived by people on p plates with cappa jackets and fubu caps

Saw an old late 80s or possibly early 90s Falcon GLi (square-ish shape) with a tail light black plastic insert to create an illusion of Skyline's 4 round tail lights.... LOL hahaha.

Last seen @ McDonalds Clifton Hill, seen it around there 2nd time already, so could be someone who lives/works in the area.

Untill you've seen an excel that has pink interior, body kit with some sort of spaztic plane wing that moulds into the back of the car, fully sick sports zorst that sounds like one of those wet farts that dribble and the portions of the body kit that are not stardard are painted in blue, you have seen nothing!!! :bonk:

i saw something in a car mag here that beats the daewoo :)

a peugot 106 with bodykit, mags, paint, wing, etc.........NO speed enhancing mods, but they still put a racing harness in it ;) infact with all the extra weight. a stock model would run faster........remember this is a 1.6L engine so they didnt really need a racing harness :headbang:

oh and this was the feature car for this mag, not a piss take..............

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
