It isn't what I would do to a third gen, but that said the inspector I talked to said as long as it covers the tires it is legal as long as they are mechanicaly attached.

Re: I give you the anti-mini tub...
seems like the dude put a lot of money into the car in parts, unfortunately his exterior mods don't help out our trailer park stereotype one bit. I was a bit surprised to find that he didn't have rat fink stickers somewhere on the car

Love the sweet scoop, or flap, or something bolted to the hood...

Re: I give you the anti-mini tub...
I can tell you right now the cage won't pass tech or a chassis certification Looks pretty but the cage would need to be changed if the car ever goes quicker than 10.0. Running slower than 10.0 and it doesn't need the full cage so why bother building an incorrect cage to add all the extra weight?

I always wanted to do a wider body fender mod, to give an extra 1-2" of tire but that is very poorly done. Lol

Re: I give you the anti-mini tub...
There is such a thing. 9" case designed to hold 12 bolt gears and carrier. A 9" doesn't use different series carrier so the deeper the ratio gets, the thicker the gears get. Using 12 bolt gears and carrier, you can switch to a 2, 3 or 4 series carrier as the ratios drop. The 12 bolt gears use slightly less power to turn than 9" gears.

Re: I give you the anti-mini tub...
I'd imagine it's legal... those are pretty much just fender flares like any lifted truck runs. Horrible idea and hideous but its not my car so I don't care.

Re: I give you the anti-mini tub...
pretty much... this is the bad thing about modifying how a car looks so much, its built to his liking, but no one else would be willing to pay up that much money for a car that they would have to change so many things on. Personally I would change the wheels, fix the fenders, remove the roll cage, return the front end to a 91-92 style and get rid of all those damn gauges, also its not a sport model, so in my eyes its not worth more than 5k in nice shape.

Re: I give you the anti-mini tub...
If you could undo the tacked on wtf garbage, it's actually a really nice car.
I'm mostly curious why it has an 84Z nose (fascia)?
edit: noticed robguitargod1 saw the front before me, oops.

Re: I give you the anti-mini tub...
I was in Spanaway today working on my T/A at a buddy's house. I would have checked this thing out if I had known about it! I'm never surprised by the r e d n e c k engineering you see in the Spanaway/Graham/Fredrickson area!
