"The mildly explosive Vistina"

More Photos

This Isehara Vistina B4 RS has had the vast majority of the budget poured into a full engine overhaul, which included a new engine block, adding two turbos and a supercharger, increasing the bore size, new high quality internals and tuned to use E100 ethanol. It now makes 435 horsepower and 427nm of torque. externally all that’s been done is a new paint scheme and an aggressive aerodynamics kit.

I’m starting to get the feeling that my entry, with its bored-out naturally aspirated V8, is a bit on the conservative side, to put it mildly - but I have reliability and drivability (not to mention fuel availability - I’m running 98 RON/93 AKI super unleaded instead of any kind of ethanol-based fuel) on my side.

Today in Ultimate Power magazine

A Coston Bazen bored out to 2.1L and given a new head and twin turbo forced induction system to put out 653hp when running off ethanol fuel so pure you could drink it (so long as you wait a day till you next drive, of course) with a good mixer. Paired with an LT77 manual swap, it can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds.

All the unnecessary parts of the interior have been stripped out and a sound system and control unit installed, along with a screen plugged into a Play System 2 in the boot. A flame kit on it’s exhaust has earned it the name the Blazen.

MRX II Pushed to the limit
We redesigned, aero tested, and dyno tuned the 200R.
What good is all that go fast with out a banging system.

We installed 2 10" subs and a 15" sub to make the windows flex.

Light and agile is the tune from the factory so we enhanced it with reduced mass, and a broader powerband.

Body work was retuned to use the air better while reducing the overall CO-Drag.

What's that? Boadicea conquered the entire Roman army using something very similar to this, so I should be able to easily conquer four hoodies in a stolen Datsun. What if you pull up by the pavement and women and children are walking about? They'll have their legs cut off. "In jail no one can hear you scream" - scary. Boadicea wheel attachments - scary. You, presumably, have nothing. Wrong - these four nozzles - Yeah. are paint guns. So, you drive in front of the crims who are trying to get away. These fire a great cloud of pink paint all over the windscreen and they have to stop cos they can't see.

Why leave all the fun to the boys?

Don’t let the pink paint job foll you, this Iron Daisy is turned up to the MAX! This diesel churns out over 1400 ft-lbs of torque and can hit speeds of over 200 MPH! Plus, it can hold its own in the corners thanks to its hardcore aerodynamics and sticky tires.

“I think people will sleep on this thing,” Owner Diana Marbella said. “Street racing? No, no! I keep all my racing on the track,” Diana winked.

“Then what are those cars with slash marks doing on your front fender?”

“Let’s just say I had to muscle some of my competition around,” She smiled.

“What else can you tell us about this thing?”

Diana’s brown hair framed her grin, “Wouldn’t you like to know.”

Well, maybe another tuning magazine will have better luck.

The Iron Daisy is best described as a (literal) flying brick - a boxy profile concealing a lot of power. I wouldn’t be surprised if the opposition was left behind and pushing up daisies after encountering one of these!

Some unfortunate news regarding my entry. I’m having technical issues with the car so I’m kinda stuck. I do not want the car to go to waste, so if anyone wants to take it over just ask for the .car in DMs

Pity to waste the car. I’m decent at tuning but terrible at body mods. If you’re okay with that, DM me the .car and I’ll see if I can make it run right.

The Renwoo Nissa Ken Edition


this is who's cutting you off in traffic btw

The Driver: Ken Lagamine

Ken's parents are rich but wanted to "humble him" by buying him a cheap french hatchback, but hot off the heels of watching Fast and Furious, Ken modified his Renwoo Nissa as seen.

He’s a bit childish, he makes many attempts to act mature by drinking black coffee or practicing ways to look and act cool around others. He also likes bass. Way too much of it, with much dismay to his sister, Lin Lagamine, who is much more of a music purest than him. When asked if he’d sell his sister for another subwoofer in his Nissa, he replied, “Fuk her, I would.”

In his free time, he partakes in drawing, sitting in his Renwoo Nissa in a parking lot listening to anything with enough bass to deafen him, as well as getting bullied by his twin sister.

You deserve full marks for giving the humble Renwoo a convertible conversion in addition to a gigantic arch-shaped rear wing (specifically, the 90s Rainbow wing fixture from the CS Aero fixture mod pack) and a transparent hood section to go with its amped-up sound system. The metallic yellow (gold?) paintwork and large color-coded wheels are icing on the cake.

Rocket Apollo GTS retuned: 420H Edition


New aero fixtures and bodykit, including huge front lip and rear wing.


1400W amplifier and 2 massive subs (behind the

seats)
Upbored engine to 2554cc (2.6L) and E85 conversion kit plus turbo install crank out 420.0hp
430nm/318lb-ft of torque
Top speed 209mph, 0-60 in 6 seconds

Repainted in a horrendous vibrant shade of green to “stand out”
Clearly a normal car tuned by someone who didn’t know what they were doing
Modifications:
New exhaust
New turbo kit
E85 Conversion kit
Upboring
Bodykit
Huge rear wing
1400W Amplifier and subwoofers
New CD player

Unthinkable amounts of duct tape - why so much? Don’t ask, it’s just minor repairs

Hi im back in england from my 2 weeks in japan land very quick submission post

But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all

Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there’s a place in her life
Someday, somewhere
She will return

29 year old Stan “Brougham” Springfield is an office worker, working in an IT company in the sales department and his old Katami Mochi broke down and got some cash through his insurance to buy a new car.

Due to how he often dresses in Plaid suits and listens to a lot of 70/80s songs the nickname “Brougham” stuck and the Axxus was his car of choice a weird funky French wagon.

With a new beige paint scheme, group 4 inspired areo with turbo fan semi slicks, skiis on top and cube brown inserts with wood finished steering wheel. Perfect for the inner Captain slow in your life.

The engine was also upgraded with nearing 400hp on tap from the upgraded turbo on the 2.5 liter I4 and a 6 speed manual transmission quite a speedy wagon and with air bags included it makes it easy to get over curbs.

Although, it is more so built for cruising than for pure handling it won’t impress with just performance but at least it looks a bit different than the rest of the pack with less flashy visuals.

The 2005 ACZ LUB "Recordbreaker"

Amplifying the Asphalt



Overview

This crazy cargo van was made for the sole purpose of being loud. Like, REALLY loud. It’s decked out with a highly sophisticated audio system from Ryoshi Audio, with a total peak wattage of over 20,000 Watts.


It was also fitted with a so much neon it could probably double as a beacon, which covers the wheels, sides, wing, speakers, underside, and even the exhaust tips. It was also fit with a set of LED volume bars on the door panels, which, like the rest of the build, totally isn’t based off of any film character in particular, especially not one that would come out a year later… totally not… gulp…


…But anyways, the interior was decked out too, with gold accenting plastered around, more of that high-end audio equipment, and a pair of sport bucket seats!

Did I forget to mention the MASSIVE, custom-fit jukebox and CD player that covers the rear? It can play your choice of 80 CDs, right from the comfort of your own van!


Performance

Now, what could possibly power this thing? Well, I mean, an extra alternator and a few batteries had to be fit to supply its city’s worth of electronics, but would could possibly power that and the wheels?


The answer to that would be the same, Supercharged, 3.4L V6 that it came with stock, only with some upgraded internals (minus the valvetrain), a heavy Aluminum block, high-performance centrifugal Supercharger, which extend its power to ~480 hp!

It was also fit with a heavier-duty 6-speed manual, specialized Hydropneumatic suspension that can raise and lower itself, which combined with the stock AWD system manage to send it to 60 in 2.9 seconds!, while getting better MPG than stock! That’s gotta be at least one record broken as far as vans go, right?

It was also fit with some vinyl-record style wheel covers that help reduce drag when you’re jamming out at its top speed of over 180 miles per hour.

It’s truly one hell of a build, and thanks to it’s form factor, everything fits inside! Although that does leave no space for it to be used, as well, a van… Who could have possibly come up with such a thing, anyway?


The Owner

Lin Lagamine

(Totally also based on NO character in particular, nope, totally not)

Not to be confused with her twin brother, Ken Lagamine, Lin is a girl with a passion for music, waaay too much free time, and parents with more money than sense. She managed to convince her parents to buy what she described as a “boring, practical work van” as her first car, and they somehow approved of it, with no idea of the power the ACZ LUB Zephyr originally came with. She would later use her massive, albeit handed-down amounts of cash to turn it into the “ultimate mobile party machine”, which eventually turned into the Recordbreaker.
