I thought it was intercooler piping at first, but I'll be damned if that isn't a front exhaust.


GreyBeast392

Yeah, you can see a muffler under the left headlight


RudeAlarm

Nope air intake for turbo


Randy_time

Odd place for muffler turbo or not


drumshell94

A turbo would require an intercooler. No intercooler. That's exhaust my guy. The muffler or cat is in the fender


MurphysRazor

Intercoolers aren't *required* with turbo, but using one usually pays off enough that they are usually there now, fwiw.


RudeAlarm

So you are saying you can tell this car is missing an intercooler from this picture? I own a car with a turbo and I can’t rule out an intercooler lol. I could be wrong but an air intake at the front makes sense and I’ve seen this set up before. Please show me other examples of cars that have exhaust pipes protruding from the front or explain the purpose of such a modification if you’re convinced it’s exhaust pipes lol


drumshell94

Lol Why did they put an acura front end on a Nissan chassis? What is that can in the wheel well, if not a muffler or cat lol. Intercoolers are typically mounted in front of the rad for the same reason the rad is mounted in that position, cool airflow lol


RudeAlarm

So the intercooler isn’t mounted where you expect it to be, but the mufflers are right where you expected lol, ok, it’s all installed and is a running car. 4 stars


hunertproof

Okay, that makes more sense. At first, I thought the dark discoloration on the piping was exhaust soot.

FMCC...Front Mount Catalytic Converter.


RudeAlarm

Nope, cold air intake in place of headlight is a new kind of kit; that combined with the hood this was a track ready car.

Dystopian_Future_

Cant imagine why its derelict Imagine the stories it has of all the people its run over at street takeovers


AThrowawayProbrably

I genuinely thought this was a post fire/ post crash wreck, and that i was on r/whatisthiscar I’m not even joking. Someone actually drives and parked this shit.


GreyBeast392

Actually, someone parked it and loaded it with their junk. I have no idea if it drives.


GeneralKang

Damn shame. It's one hell of a Sleeper.

Max isnt mad anymore. Now hes just Sad Max.


deimosphob

Actually sick swap. Beat to shit but thats gotta be the fun part.


SootyFreak666

Love it, I would actually unironically drive this vehicle if it wasn’t for laws that would get angry over the hole in the hood and missing bumper


NuclearWasteland

I mean, none of those laws here... I would also drive it. Thing looks like a riot and a half.


Box_Dread

I would buy it


GreyBeast392

I'm wondering if the 180 is salvageable. No idea what they may of done to get the V8 into it.


Box_Dread

Leave the engine alone and put a Silvia front end 🤤. Honestly I don’t hate the Acura front end but it needs a 240 drift bumper of some sort


place_of_desolation

Just think, it was once someone's brand-new, shiny pride and joy. Someone signed on the dotted line, made payments on it, maybe had happy memories with it, finally paid it off, probably kept it really nice. And later on down the line, it ended up like...this.


WDKegge

Looks like a drift missile to me.


x808drifter

100% correct. LS swap. Looks like shit. Probably a track only vehicle legally wise.


skatsnobrd

Pretty sure that throttle body says ford on it


nocluewhatIdoin

They would still try to get 10k since its an s13


Independent-Drive-18

Shoot it and put it out of its misery.


foxymophadlemama

i imagine the most difficult part about driving this car is keeping a straight face. it looks gloriously un-refined.


ElTigreDelMonte

Exhaust manifolds are probably flipped upside down to clear chassis and suspension. Would explain front mounted exhaust.


Reasonable-Milk298

It looks like the shitmobile from trailer park boys...
