Couple more pics to add to this OLD thread. This is a 348 modified by Nakai of Rauh Welt. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
It does doesn't it. He is better know for his Porsche wide bodies. But I really like what he did with this 348.
Those pics on post #29 look pretty good and balanced. The car is a tiny bit too low for my taste ......... and I wonder how wide those wheels are? .......
That was right after the fenders were flared. There are some other pics, that I haven't found yet, of when he had them cut up. It was all metal work for both the front and rear flares. It was in some Japanese magazine. I'll post them if/when I find them.
Ernie, dude, stop cruising Japanese tuner web sites. It is not healthy. You are not going to pimpyourride-san.
I like it, it's got a little German tuner retro feel to it. Reminds me of the Strosek customs from the 1980's.
The only problem is the 348 has no power to aerodynamically move that much drag. I bet while lookin cool the modified car would be slower. I'm not sure the track and big tires corner speed would make up for the loss of straight line speed. I wonder if there is a way to calculate that trade off?
And a couple more from the land of the rising sun. This one was modified by VeilSide. I post pics of this car before a few years ago. you can see them in this link. And some more of this car in another post from a few years ago found in this link http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135505386&postcount=8 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I wonder how it works with the car being a LHD in Japan? Apparently one must be able to get a waiver or something like that.
LHD in Japan is a big deal because it highlights that the car was imported into the country especially for the owner rather than being a Japan Domestic market car! They even import LHD Toyota's/Honda's/Skylines' etc., etc., to show that the car was brought in from abroad! (
I came across this video of the white wide body 348, in the first post, on track. Eat your heart out Sy. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2H-8Ue787Q[/ame]
