How much do you think this conversion cost? A real SLR costs 500k American. I would say they probably only have about 150k into the replica, that is a pretty big price difference.

Note the defects in the mods and the fact that the entire car is pretty much bondo. Also, I think it's a Chev V8 which isn't exactly a Benz........at least by my standards. Don't get me wrong..........it's a shell of the actual car, but it's still just a shell. You get what you pay for.



(even though I'd never pay that much for the actual one.....sometimes the most expensive option isn't the best one).

Just in case you didn't know:

That is a great video!

Actually, I saw a car very similar to this one at MOPAR fest in 1998. From the front it looked like a normal k-car but once you got closer and saw the slicks on the back and the NOS in the trunk, you quickly started to realize that this one was a little different.
I wonder how those two cars would have done against each other on the quarter. Battle of the suped up k-car's.

I think this kind of modification should be a goal for you Paul, the crumpletron is even smaller and lighter than a k-car, that thing could really fly.
The only problem is that I can't think of any small turboed ford motors, you might have to put a GM or Chrystler drive train in it, but I think it would be worth it.

Excellent. We shall make it a goal to do this after Im out of school and can afford another crumplatron and the parts to do so.

Chris is the one who should be doing this. He all ready has a K-car. Plus, seeing as how I ripped apart his dash with my bare hands, it'll be easy to remove excess weight.

Did ya hear the turbo on the K-car in the movie. I think that was the first indication that the car was a lil' special.

The Focus has 2 turbo versions (European), but I *think* the one is a diesel (though, I have seen impressive diesel crotch rockets).

The Escorts had a turbo version. Here's proof:

He even put it in a Fiesta


It's a 6, but it's a fairly small Ford turbo engine:

You just need to go to Australia

I had no idea they made an escort turbo, that would be a great motor for the crumpletron. I bet they are pretty hard to find though.

Oh Probably. But it would be so funny to race

Well worth the effort it would take to get it going.

This has got to be one of the cruddiest bus rides ever:

That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. How retarded would you have to be to do that.

But it would have been cool had he pulled it off............however, he didn't.........and now it's just friggin' hilarious.

I'm just not sure what he thought would happen.

Here's a better conversion for Homey V's car:

SVT Ford Mustang V8 in a Focus.

I think it would be an even tighter fit in the crumpletron.
