Crazy car mod

Some guy in the US is droping a V8 Cadillac engine in a Toyota MR2 (Mark 1). This car only weighs 2024 lbs while the average Cadillac weighs around 4000 lbs.

This car will be able to take almost another car on the road when it's done.

Also saw a 5 liter Miata..... Only Miata I would ever consider owning/driving.

That MR2 is wild...you would really have to love them to drop that much time/money into one.

I don't doubt it. But again , you could buy an awesome ride for 40,000. You could get an old Viper for that if you looked hard enough. Different strokes for different folks, but if I was going to drop 40 large on a car it wouldn't be an '86 MR poo.

It would be a '91 integra :silly:

No, he actualy did. I saw it before, and after... the second time I saw it, it only had 300km on the brand new engine.

ANYONE can go drop an insane amount of money and buy some new car. but it takes a real enthusiast to drop an insane amount of money on a car they love.

of course some would say the 'real enthusiast' is a fuckin nutball.

I've promised myself that if I ever won the lottery I would make a point of dropping a shitload of money into all the cars i've owned/fell in love with. Even though they aren't that spectacular , it would be awesome to see all the things you dreamt of doing become a reality.
