Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

What's an American style blower doing on a Japanese 4 pot?

exactly

Take all those parts (well.. the good ones), put it on an American car, then it makes sense

 

[V1P3R]

Well it is rear wheel drive you know.

 

[Matt R]

Why anyone would ever invest any money into a Celica is beyond me.

Who cares?

 

[Flerbizky]

remember this? spot the problems

You mean THE problem - Or just one of them ?...

 

[Metar]

How about the fact that a Celica with a huge mother****ing supercharger and wide tyres on the rear... Doesn't have Rwd?

They're excellent cars. It's just that this one isn't.

I just think that there are much better cars to invest money into. The price of the modifications on this Celica could have bought him just about anything.

To each his own I suppose.

well the main ones, the blower, the big rear tyres and clearly seen in the last pic the lack of rwd

If it had another engine in the boot and the proper rear drive bits it could be a fairly good idea. Use the i4 for normal economical driving and the (hopefully bigger) rear engine for drag days.

But since thats not the case

The only thing more amazing then that celica is the number of people in here who don't know what a blower is, or what the hell one looks like.

Not ever big shiny thing sticking out of the hood is a blower.

Then you would end up with a POS road car and a POS drag car. Basically, FAIL.👎

what are drag slicks doing on the rear of a front wheel drive car with a fake blower under (and above)

That bugs me a lot as well.

NOT a blower

Blower

Also, ugly and retarded as it might look, the intake actually looks functional...

At the end of the day, it just beats me as to why anyone would spend shed loads
of money on a car, only to make it look pointlessly crap!

As for the colours, they make it look like a dinky toy!

 

[land sea air]

if I remember correctly, that car is front wheel drive and the supercharger is fake, it is mostly stock.

 

[V1P3R]

Yep, I think so too. I remember it being posted before too I think.

You can tell from the pictures that the car is fwd. And it doesn't have a supercharger, fake or othersise.

Well the rims are. Look how HUGE they are!!!!

 

[Joey D]

So that's what mini trucks are like in other parts of the world (guessing Japan maybe?) .

The second one down on the left isn't bad. I'm actually liking it a lot. 3000GT I believe.

This should help.

 

[Matt R]

This should help.

Is it really that bad?

As soon as you're not sure if it really is the car you think it is, that means it's overmodified.

There's quite a few really questionable, but also quite a few well done..

And this, bar the rear spoiler, and, obivously, the exhaust - Nice...

Not in this case at all. That car is clearly a GTO/3000GT. Uncertainty over recognising a car means nothing at all. And the Z32 next to it is pretty awesome IMO.
