Man I saw this like a year ago! I didn't know he was soo close to where I am, I could have sworn he was on the west coast...either way it is bad a! 70 mpg! Imagine if you did these modifications to like a 89 Hx? I just got my next project idea! haha

I mean I could see "why" you'd wanna do that, but why would you do that?

It looks like a big, make-shift, fiberglass condom on wheels.

To be honest I rather pay more @ the pump than have my car look like that.

This thread is very interesting:

The 13th page of it has the most updated photos of the op car. He is doing similar work, though his looks a lot cleaner.

lol has a top speed of 140mph. I call bs to the entire project. Hell it looks like he just went to home depot, bought some aluminum paneling and starting hacking it together.

Stock ECU? If so it for sure didnt do 140mph

Radiator Flow? Unless he has some crazy duct work (and based on the other work, I'm going to go ahead and say there is none) how the hell is the radiator getting any flow?
