That car is stupid, but that's just my opinion...

adam s · 01-17-2013, 01:48 PM

definitely worthy of it's own thread.

Jersthecool · 01-17-2013, 01:54 PM

I honestly don't know how you can't like this car! Even without the engine it's such a well done amazing looking car, throw in a vr38 and you've got perfection

Could you please elaborate on your opinion? Just curious on what you don't like.

Juantwo3 · 01-17-2013, 02:08 PM

i wish i was a baller

2muchboost · 01-17-2013, 02:09 PM

Thing looks like it will be slow lol. Regardless of whether or not you like the car you have to appreciate the type of creativity, mechanical know-how, and fabrication skills that it takes to make something like this happen.

Cant wait to see this bad boy moving down the track/streets.

unwtdhero · 01-17-2013, 02:20 PM

Broooo if it had lips and some stance.....fu.ck that. That thing is titz...

I think the front widebody looks okay, however the rear widebody was made to compliment a frs not a s chassis, so that doesn't look very good. Not to mention the sideskirts are pretty bland as well. In addition to that he put a $25k vr38 in a less than $2k shell and no matter what you do to that car I won't be a very good high speed chassis, its just too light and small.

Don't get me wrong its a very well put together car, I just think its the wrong motor in the wrong car with the wrong bodykit built for the wrong purpose..

Corbic · 01-17-2013, 08:45 PM

It's so god damn ugly.

LockOn! · 01-17-2013, 09:27 PM

^This.

I reeeeeeeeally hate this bubble flair trend thats been going on recently (save that shit for pre-90s cars). Not only that but the front bumper is killing me. Soooo sick of seeing it.

Car is baller as fuck though, one cannot deny that.

Matej · 01-17-2013, 09:34 PM

The engine bay looks like a robot covering its face with its hands.

TigerII · 01-17-2013, 09:35 PM

Not much love on Zilvia for the kit eh? I am suprised.

Can't say I like the bonnet but I do like the original concept (ie the fenders and skirt). His ductail wing from the old kit sets it off.
I am not a huge fan of the old kit but this one works for me.

I wonder how much info on the Speedhunters site is correct. For starters it's a Fuel Safe fuel cell rather than an ATL fuel cell...

Cheers

Hoooooly shit that looks way better. I guess the flat paint and jacked up hood and headlamps don't really help this cars case.

Also, that rear quarter angle photo is defiantly this cars best side. Concept or real version. The front end is just so.... bleh.

I agree. Best quarter is the rear. Front bar is the weakest part.
I have wondered what Ikeya Formula bumper (Koguchi version) with these fenders would look like. It looks fantastic with Kouchi overfenders so I reckon it would be a good option for people who want to run wide wheels. Pity it's no longer made.

It's rare when speedhunters have any fucking clue what they're talking about.

kalypso123 · 01-18-2013, 04:16 AM

Considering its built to outrun R35s, and hit 250mph I can appreciate its value

Matej · 01-18-2013, 04:20 AM

During the build process I assumed it would end up gross because Rocket Bunny aero generally looks terrible, particularly on 180SX's. However, it actually ended up looking quite nice, especially for a race car. Sadly, it can even put most of today's drift cars to shame.

The ride height and wheel fitment play a big role, naturally. Though they will probably end up raising it and ruining it with decals and race car junk.

kalypso123 · 01-18-2013, 04:20 AM

This Is how it should be.

Too much camber on the front. 18 x 10.5 +15 would have been spot on assuming these are the same width as the old Rocket Bunny. (The Enkei's shown are 18x11 aparently but no mention of offset)

ST34LthyN1NJ4 · 01-18-2013, 06:09 AM

i personally love the rocket bunny kits i wasnt sure about the new one when i first saw it but it grows on you... it reminds me of the old school z's im just curious to see what it would look like on a coupe

_kouki_monster_ · 01-18-2013, 06:52 AM

i am not a big fan of the front it looks ok but from the back i kinda like it.

Performance wise, its a must for road racing at that speed.

Gets better the more you look at it

BlewByYou · 01-18-2013, 07:22 AM

Its on Air ride that's why its sitting like this for the photo shoot. This isn't a show car, its an all out race-car and looks so bad ass. Period!

Read the article before making comments on this and that.

turbo2nr · 01-18-2013, 07:31 AM

the car looks ridiculous from the back!

the hood fitment and lack or proper headlights is whats kiling the front.

and wtf is up with the coolant over flow?? you think after all the fab they could make a nice aluminum one 0_o
