Great idea, not everyone can afford a Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ.
You can pick up 1989+ 240SX for cheap on Craigslist, and do the conversion yourself. :)
There's going to be a Boxer-4 swap kit available for 240SX as well.

Why would anyone do this is beyond me

[The_AK]

I'm actually curious to see how this pans out...

[hud 91gt]

Great idea. Looks super easy.

[jasonturbo]

Great idea. Looks super easy.

Indeed, couple mates and a case of beer, have that hammered out on a Saturday afternoon.

[TopsyCrett]

This is actually hilarious. I too want to see how this pans out.

[flagella]

Amazing, makes sense since the time of people who have no money is worthless anyways.

:troll:

[twitchyzero]

They tried to make a Japanese classic look like a revived version of another Japanese classic from a different manufacturer?

[Kim Jong Un]

y tho?

[extracrunchie]

I feel like this would end up costing more than buying a ft86 lol

[asian_XL]

it is as ridiculous as this

What if i have a convertible 240sx? can the company supply a roof for me too?

[ae101]

It's not a Ferrari or lambo, I get why ppl turn mr2s into ferraris

But seriously frs/brz seems pretty afford cars and it seems like that's what Toyota/Subaru were going for

[4doorVIP]

There has been Arash of car projects like this lately

[Manic!]

You can get a BRZ for less then 20K. So whats the point again?

I just bumped into this and figured it'd go with this thread:

I.....can't even..........

I'd take a rebuilt 2013 with some frame damage over this abomination any day. Please don't drive that thing on the road and endanger others.

[godwin]

I guess everyone needs a hobby. I don't see much of a kit more than a one off.

I mean this guy made a Pagini 4HP kit car. (http://www.carscoops.com/2016/12/this-chinese-pagani-huayra-knock-off.html) So hobby is important.

Also I as long as the fabricator doesn't' cut into the unibody (which by the pictures he doesn't seem to have) it should be fine on the road.

I suspect Timpo is a image searching bot so the admins can mess with us.

W/e its still just a 300zx skin

[nsx042003]

all that work...to replicate something that you can readily buy for cheap, and brand new at that

Idiots with too much time on their hands

[godwin]

Context is a lovely thing. The picture shows the cars are RHD, so chances are it is some SE Asian country that have rather brutal vehicle taxes.. Some increases as the car gets older (eg Singapore).

Not everyone lives in North America where cars cost is a small part of one's annual income.

Besides as I say, people needs a hobby.

Can't you get a real one down in the low teens now? I have a hard time believing anyone could get a clean 240SX shell, and then buy this kit, and then buy the drivetrain, and then do all the fab work to make it work, for a significantly lower enough price to justify it.

Why would you swap in that boxer engine anyways? You can bolt in and plug in an SR20 that makes more power for a lot less money.
