i think someone saw this when it was first built and went, "hmm, i wonder if we could do any better?"...ISF comes out...still can't do better than this monster!
stop hating on the tail lights, this car is "The Altezza". the first car to introduce the tailight design before assholes started copying it for civics and accords and making them corny.
@maxon18s I'm the current owner. I picked the car up in June. Matt did a ridiculously good job of putting this car together - I feel really lucky to have it. I did a track day in the car a few weeks ago; there's an in-car video on my YouTube page for anyone that wants to check it out. - Nick
@thaandiesel Actually it is a car, and you don't even know what scrub means. And its screen name comprehension fail, because not only did you forget to capitalize, you also left out three whole letters. Thats different from a 'spelling' mistake. Good try though.
@08HellionGT roflmao, this is funny stuff, why do people feel they have to go all english teacher when they clash. you really do sound like a scrub if you say "you forgot to capitalize" on youtube......
@imSkillz I have a set of Fiske's for the car too. Who said that was the only set of wheels. I swear people on youtube are incredibly retarded. I hope you feel better after this useless post.
@atsmatt I wasn't trying to rip on your car guy, just thought it was funny. Never said you didn't have another set of wheels. I hope you feel better after getting all defensive for no reason ;)
@imSkillz Your trying to rip on something instead it just made you look like a fool. There will always be haters with nothing good to say and that would be you no skills.
@atsmatt uh...no. I wasn't ripping on it, but if you want to be insecure and shit or you just like to be combative, whatever. Once again I was pointing out something I thought was funny, but you can take it however you want to. I don't care.
@imSkillz A women looking at the brand of shoes of a another women in an expensive outfit is like a man who looks at another man's wheel and tire set but does it really freaking matters? Should he put on his better set of wheels and tires just a dyno and to be filmed so you can go, "oh nice rims dude"?
There will always be haters. Looks like at least three retards below me. There is no end all be all motor. The ls3 does things the 2jz cannot and the same with the 2jz vs the ls3. Apples to oranges. Get off your high horses and do something different...something controversial. I know I did (built this car)
its not about disrespecting companies, its about pushing the limits of what motor vehicles can do. It's awesome that people are doing this. It shows that almost anything can be done with a car. This swap is awesome!
too cool...
