Jesus with all those canards and splitters you would think the car needs clearance to take off. Oh but then you see the SOHC

Nice attempt, but it's overkill in any area that's been modified. The "cage" is way too intricate in the back without anything going forward and that cooling plate is ridiculously oversized.

I would have thought everything better with less mods or spread out to more areas and any custom work more tastefully done.

The photographs seem far more valuable than the car itself. To be honest, this seems like a new-age attempt at a PepBoys built car.

Wow, wtf is up with all the randomly *** placed canards? Is this car in lemans? lol and the crazy looking monkey bars inside and STOCK seats? wtf, and all that just for a sohc with a header and bike exhaust? Not even turboed or supercharged? at least couldve been a B16 lol even that wouldve been better
