COLES NOTES: Some tuner is Spain is modifying some Mitsubishi using some very weird method. The funny thing, people on that forum (Clubjapo or whatever, not the one I posted) believed he's doing the right thing and think of him as God...LOL 900whp on stone grinded head? good luck

I didn't want to read the whole thing too at first, but the funnies keep on coming

I have to be honest. I'm actually really impressed that this car actually fired up and can be driven without smoke pouring our everywhere. From afar, this car actually looks half decent Take a look at this video. I'm amazed this car actually made over 300 HP on the dyno.

Let's be honest. If this were Junkyard Wars we'd all be very impressed

as much as I agree with you, its all trial and error and I can't really call this being "creative" but that's how a lot of ideas come about, by trying, even if you crash and burn!
