Is it a submarine or some sort of tracking beacon? Funniest part is, its an auto 1.5 litre. :

its a very impressive modification albeit rice. just a shame he didnt touch anything else 1 bit. the worn interior and crappy looking engine bay complete with pod and rusty headers ruin the whole look. im sure its won some awards though.

Some people should NOT be able to own or go anywhere near cars!!! Without a doubt one of the stupidest looking cars I have ever seen.

Instead of the Pimp my ride show on MTV. This car would win the rice my ride contest. Hell the fuel through the roof looks unsafe for fumes.

what was the point of that car?... i mean for the money whoever poured into it, they could have probably had a mustang that flew! I used to live in the states and on the west coast, you have two types of "enthusiast"(term used VERY loosely).... the ricer and the racer, and that has to be the dumbest waste of time i have seen in a while! rice for sure!

Wow... That is absolutely ridiculous. I bet the owner is proud!!
I don't think it's much of an air intake - wet when the "cover" isn't on, and no air when the cover is on! What a tool.

i reckon it looks ok, call me stupid, at least he has gone all out on it, im sure he could of spent all that money on something like, clear lights, half assed kit, and an exhaust.
at least he is trying something new, and it would turn heads. i dont agree with it, but can appreciate the time and effort gone into it, imagine how long it would take it work ti all out, fabicate, fit, finish it all ? each to their own in my books, sure it might look stupid to some, but he lvoes it , let him go.... |

Yes the work involved is AMAZING. However, the creators may have been better off putting their skills to use constructing gallows, and subsiquently using them.

All steel? Impressive. Still ridiculous though. Why the fuel filler in the roof? Why?!

Some really top workman ship has gone into the car. It's not in my taste but still the work that has gone into that is frist class. Aleast they had some taste in using the fuel lid of a 2002 Mustang GT.

The first thing I thought when I got the XR was "Now if only I could get the fuel filler up onto the roof...."
Be helpful if you were 8ft tall though. :
