That is absolutely INSANE! You talking low 13s! reinforce that suspension area, throw in a few performance mods and take it to the track! I want to see no less than 13s! Slap on some slicks and show me high 12s! She must feel like a beast now. 1jz what? Who needs turbo if you can go on a 800lb diet. LOL. Jp, I love turbo. Just swap in a 2kz now, and your God.

The project could be something .... remove as many things as you can, sell them, and still have fun with the car - it still runs (and run much faster).

Who needs:
Trunk,
Hook,
Doors,
Panels,
Speakers,
...etc

j/k

very creative, if mine ever got totalled i would rather do something like that to it than just send her to the scrap heap. that happened to my last car an 03 Nissan Spec V. it got rolled over am embankment by my little brother and there wasn't much to salvage and since it was new the insurance company wanted too much to buy it back,

Props on the first and probably only Lexus Dune buggy. I would put just the plastic front cover and headlight back in just so everyone who sees it knows exactly what it was before. it will blow their minds.

wow

way to make a broken car pull its weight to the end.

big props.

Now make it safe and lets see what it can do. With a nearly 1000lb diet I am sure it will be swift. Just make sure it is safe!
