WTF Friday: Front End Swapping Madness Continued

DaveT -
Earlier in the week Jalopnik posted a link to a Mercedes clipped Expedition that triggered memories of a post here on SIE from three years ago showcasing a collection of rather questionable front end swaps. At the time I had intentions of making rather alarming front end swaps a semi reoccurring WTF Friday theme but since I am just revisiting it now it's safe to say it slipped my mind.

Event Coverage: Tiremag/Ertefa BBQ 2013

DaveT -
The weather was exceptionally great last weekend and my car was freshly ready for summer (thanks to Simply Tire and Automatrix) so I swung by Tiremag on Sunday for a BBQ they had organized along the people behind Ertefa. I must admit I was pretty surprised at the turnout since it's still somewhat early in the season and I know a few cars that are still in several pieces.

Theme Tuesdays: Surf Wagons

DaveT -
Not long ago I waded my way into a thread about "Surf Wagons" on the H.A.M.B in an attempt to find more information on the Suburban included in today's post. After clicking through a few pages I noticed that there's a bit of a debate in regards to what makes a real surf wagon but, loosely defined it's a vehicle that could potentially be used to shuttle surfers to and fro.

WTF Friday: Water to Air

DaveT -
In the Volkswagen world the watercooled-to-aircooled conversion isn't exactly new. I've seen it a few times over at this point this just so happens to be one of the more refined examples I've come across. It is also the first time I have seen it done to a Porsche, taking advantage of the fact that very few people are going to be up in arms over anything done to a standard 924.

Six and a Dime

DaveT -
I've posted plenty of Datsun 510s on the site over the years but I'm pretty sure is the first 610. Truthfully I'm actually not certain I have ever actually seen one in person and if I have it certainly wasn't as nice as this particular one I spotted on Joy Rides Art Company.

Theme Tuesdays: Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon

DaveT -
I must be feeling a little nostalgic with the next Fast & The Furious around the corner because it occurred to me the other night that I've never done a Theme Tuesday on the Mitsubishi Eclipse (Eagle Talon) before. In my opinion the first two generations are the best looking so they make up the bulk of today's post but a fourth generation did manage to squeak in there.

World Tour

DaveT -
Early last week Buni sent in a few photos of his m3 converted e91 Touring and Iended up posting one of them on the Facebook fan page.  Buni's touring was incredibly well received and is proof that of the nearly universal appeal of a OEM+ styled wagon.

WTF Friday: Volkswagen powered…. Fieros?

DaveT -
Growing up the neighbour directly across the way from me bought his daughter a Pontiac Fiero for her fourteenth birthday. The intent was that on her 16 birthday, when she got her license, it would become her first car. Having already filled the garage with an vast motorcycle collection the car sat outside, unmoved, as her sixteenth birthday came and went. At around 18, when the car had faded from a vibrant red to a Pepto Bismal pink, the daughter finally decided to get her license.

Composite Worx Lotus Extrema

DaveT -
In stock form the Exige is a pretty enticing package; weighing 2,015 lbs, and equipped with various mid mounted power plants ranging from 175hp to 250+ hp any model of this nimble Lotus is more than enough to get most people on the wrong side of a radar gun within a few minutes. Of course more than enough to some isn't more than enough to all and with Exige people just love to push the envelope.

Noah is in the hood

Bad title I know, but moving past that, Noah at EKhatch is posting regularly again and has done something pretty interesting with his hood. He's brought it down to metal and thrown some WW2 era Rob Schwager graphics on it for this summer.

Go Speed Go!

Hey everyone, just a heads up if you notice some weirdness on the page today its because I am trying to diagnose and fix some speed issues (14 seconds to load wtf?). Trying to get this page down to a 7 sec 1/4 mile so sorry if there is any temporary fires, shouldn't be too long and I will update this post when everything is fixed up. Update: Cut load times in half, back to the show.

Blast From The Past: Evolution Racing Twin Motor VR6

DaveT - 4
The time has come once again for me to reminisce about another ride that I remember from a few years back that somehow disappeared into obscurity. To go along with the theme from this weeks Theme Tuesday iI chose VW that turned a lot of heads in it's heyday in the late 90s/early 2000s. This twin motored VR6 Golf is one of the first twin motor cars I ever recall seeing and as such completely blew my mind, I had so many questions I wanted to ask the owner but I could never find him.

WTF Friday: Not Quite A Tumbler

DaveT - 1
It's been some time since a craigslist find was the focal point of a WTF Friday post so this week I've got one wicked creation from the mean streets of El Paso. Like most other odd, black, vehicular creations listed Craigslist (or Kijiji for that matter) this vehicle is touted as a custom built 'rat rod' by it's owner.
