The only cool way to build a mini van is the original mini van. A nice old split window hippy van with Porsche power in the rear.

Some previa came with supercharger.

Also reminds me of the red van at mission street legal drag races. Did some low 13's iirc.

I think that was the van he grew up driving? its a genuinely cool story, bro. I need to see it in action.

And that serial 9 MPV reminds me of some other guy on jzxp who slammed a Nissan Axxess on SSR Mk1's.

Most retarded swap to put a vg in anything but a dune buggy. Most ppl swap them out because they are so hard to work on.

don't see why any one would put in k20a in a minivan and call it high performance...honda stream isn't a minivan.

^ that thing is not a minivan, it's a failure of a crossover that needs a 6.2L V8 to compensate for it sucking at everything else.

ShyGuy 02-28-2011 12:10 AM

I dunno why there is so much hate for the R class. If you've ever been in one it's quite pimp. Not much choice out there if I wanted a luxurious mini van.

RevRav 02-28-2011 01:12 AM

^ Mercedes refuse to admit its a "mini van"
