Most pointless modification


Recommended Posts

Posted

Back in my JDM loving youth, I had a JDM MR2 Turbo and I fitted an engine cover with two whacking great fans in it.

It had no kind of controller, so sounded like it was going to take off.

 

ETA it made no discernible difference to engine temperature.

But it did make it look like the car from Back to the Future.

Were they sucking or blowing? .. they may have added some down force, a bit like the Brabham fan car? :t-up:

In my youth, any car I bought got an instant Peco big bore silencer.. Anglia, Imp, Spitfire .. they sounded faster for sure! :)

The splitter I added........made no noticeable difference to the handling, but it's ideal for dicing roadkill :d

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆ in my defence it was not all bad 

Big brakes and Billy suspension. Went well! Eye watering when it needed something though

In my youth, which was longer ago than I would like it to be, the car fashion was Drag car inspired. My Capri had extended rear spring shackles, thrush side pipes and the most pointless of all a red light shinning on the diff and a white light in each wheel well. My perm was the most pointless personal modification!!

I installed an ex-RAF Mach Meter on the dashboard of a Mk1 Fiesta 1.1L.  I never managed to move the needle (but this was not for want of trying).
