i think the owner of this gem lives by my little brother

 

Couldn't afford all for wheels? He should have put the two nice ones on one side and the other two on the other.

 

there are no nice wheels in that pic unless your jbunchofnumbers

 

 

Took these about a month and a half ago while visiting Speed1...

First the setup... nice, yes?











And then the sad reality:

 

Thats an easy fix.. Shove it all back under the dash.

 

The reality is that it looks like a work in progress.
That engine bay looks well-done with alot of very nice detail...AN lines, relocated solenoids, a nicely plumbed V-mount and Xcessive LIM etc etc. I have to believe they're just in the process of installing that Motech. Who here hasn't done something like that and, at some point, had so much spagetti lying around?

 

That's how it was delivered to the shop... with a "please fix" note attached...

 

I really doubt the owner dropped it off with nothing more than a two-word note. If he was allowed to do that, then the shop is as irresponsible as anyone. And I still think it looks worse than it really is.
No direct experience with Motec, but I've seen others installing standalones and for a while it's a similar mess. Probably one reason I went with a PFC on mine...pretty much plug-n-play. I like electronics about as much as Bin Laden liked ham sandwiches.

 

lol signal. the shop that the car in question is at is a known rotary shop. they do some nice work

 

and is forever getting dropoffs with "please fix me" notes lol

 

"Known"....yes.
Then they have nothing to complain about.

 

Real standalones like Motec's ecus have the potential to become a wiring nightmare if you don't rewire everything properly.
I don't know how they ended up like that, when going through that immense pain the easiest thing to do is to strip the electrical system out and rewire it from scratch.
Looks like a half assed hack job in there

 

Not sure why we're trying to pick a fight here. Let's just see more hoopties!

 

Lighten up dude -- it's not like we're on the 7club

 

That air filter needs to be relocated.

 

Sundays anyone??

 

You got it..."dude". I didn't go through the whole thread, but looking at the first couple of pages of horrific crap that people did to cars and comparing to the picture you posted? I just didn't see it. Sorry.

 

 

yep....

 

$3.11 for gas!? Must be nice...

 

^^ haha yeah right but be nice..but that car on the other hand may be a little nice when its all painted

 

A guy in a car very similar to this but body kit painted, same wing and was a Chevy Cobalt...he called my 8 a ricer. I'm running pretty much stock, gotta love ignorance...

 

Only japanese cars be ricers

serious, i hate when u see european or american cars riced out, but its ok cuz its not japanese.

makes no sense to me

 

Cheapest gas station in town!

And yea around here a lot of neons and cobalts have "aftermarket performance mods" aka coffee can mufflers and unpainted sagging body kits..
