I've seen these pictures floating around, so cool!

this car is so beautiful. it is amazing. I love it.

[WASABI]

Very creative, and nice execution. I am trying to figure out front suspension, where are the shocks/springs?

[Hyper]

I told you guys, olive paint is cool

[etikoner]

Looks so damn badass. Olive drab is great when used properly.

It looks like they moved them inboard.

Cool concept! I bet it sounds really nice.

I really wish they chopped the window off it just looks out of place given how crazy the rest is. But that engine I need that in my life.

[Ihatecars]

I'm not sure if I love or hate this.
I have such mixed feelings towards this Roadster.

Ah, I see them now (in front of the radiator). Makes for some crazy long A-arms.

Yeah, I think the only part I would take away from this build is the engine. I like the ITB, and exhaust (must be crazy loud!!!).

Conceptually, I feel this build is awesome. The actual execution is a totally different story.

Quoted this pic because this is where this car goes wrong for me. I love the motor, the color and many of the details, but overall I'm not keen on this. A modern wide bodied car turned into hiboy street rod just doesn't work aesthetically for me. It's extended wheelbase means it doesn't handle like a Roadster so what's the point?
The narrower kei class vehicles would be much more suited to this treatment in my opinion.

Okay, I spoke with my friend in Japan, looks like this was actually built by a Technical Training School, Maybe similar to Automotive Engineering School here in the USA.

I keep coming back to try and study the build for my own. I honestly cant see the FPR I think it might be hidden behind the vacuum block under the ITB's but all those silver covers are really making it hard to map out.

Looks like someone in the US has taken on a similar project.

That is actually my old Miata! The same car that Andy Cork of BrainStorm Products originally owned!!!

That looks like it may be the "rat rod" that was featured in Road&Track this past week.
