Nope. Read up on the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. Dealerships can say that your warranty is voided when you add aftermarket parts, but they can't actually refuse to honor a warranty unless they can prove the aftermarket parts caused the problem.
This video is unbelievably Australian.
Also used incessantly in Californication.
It's actually a Mitsuoka Le-Seyde, as it says in the article.
Not steelies, broheim.
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. In the real world, a widebody is either a) for looks or b) so you can fit bigger rubber. This is a SEMA show car with a custom targa top, plush leather interior, 19" wheels, and a big stereo. Adding maybe 10lbs of steel is pretty insignificant in comparison.
No.
I wasn't driving, but one time I was riding with my family in our Suburban and the wheel fell off. It rolled away and almost took out a Jeep.
I don't think it's a GT-R, so it wouldn't have had an RB26 to begin with.
No question. I love all the sounds that accompany a bonkers turbo setup during drifting, but there's a reason most everything is V8 swapped nowadays.
If the fenders are already steel, and those fenders are cut off to add slightly larger steel fenders...tell us how much weight is really being added.
How are these two things related at all? A widebody means widened fenders...the size of the engine bay isn't altered. The only way to change that would be going tube-framed in the front end.
Metal's cold. Ugly. Wood's warm. Clean. Provided by nature. Seeing a wooden electric car take shape is like watching a child grow.
It's a fairly interesting car for $2300, but I can't imagine actually wanting to own and drive it. CP.
