I know it's French but why would you do this?

One thing I've always wondered - What is the point of putting that level of camber on the wheels? What is it meant to achieve? Is it just to look good, or is there some strange mechanical benefit behind knackering a set of tyres every few thousand miles while being totally unsafe on the road as you go?

 

Finally, how can a car with that done to it's suspension geometry ever get through an MOT test?

 

ETA - I see the Front Front Mounted Intercooler idea is back. No1BoyRacer will feel vindicated!

Isn't it an oil cooler? Looks ridiculous with the pipes coming off it across the front of the car!

 

Not cool!

...and how does it get throught the MOT without wing mirrors and side indicators?

 

Can't be safe with that small amount of rubber/road contact?

 

If you read the advert completely (i was so stupid, please don't do it, it's boring...) he says in the end the car is sold without MOT and it is not possible to get it trough MOT. Will only be sold for spareparts....

its just a boso car. a style of car modification in japan. search for boso or bosozoku in google.

 

iirc the whole intention is to modify the car to such an extent to cause agrovation to normal road goers, other car modders or the police. :p

 

Sounds like fun.

Haters gonna hate, I think it's quite a funky little tribute to a Japanese scene, certainly a crowd puller at shows too.

I wouldn't call it hate; apart from the wheels the rest of the looks I couldn't give a stuff about, as it's down to personal taste.

 

I just don't see the point in making a car dangerous to drive and illegal on the road. Illegal on the road because it's set up for the track - I can understand. This? Nah!
