Default Please Explain: Weirdest Car Mod

OK, so I know the Japanese modders love the strange and ridiculous, but this is just plain weird.

I think they have seen videos of these cars in the US doing the bouncing contests where the front end is bounced with hydraulics and the rear is jacked up like this with hydraulics so that the front of the car can bounce higher.

I never would have thought that the Japanese would believe the cars are actualy driven around like that!!

Maybe it's so they can park them closer together, the front of the second under the rear of the first... :

are you telling me that the suspension is permanently fixed like that? If so, that is awesome. Awesome like when an ex girlfriend phones saying that you better see a doctor and get checked. I reckon that it would also be awesome for high speed drifting. If it's a hydraulic setup, nothing new there. But it sure looks like they wanna be O.G.'s and pretend their late 80's Toyota all jacked off, I mean up, is an adequate substitute for a 64 Chevy ragtop.

I guessing you would need to completely redo the engine bracing and mounting as I think all the oil is now sitting at the front and well away from the oil pick up........ Weird I will stay with my lowered car thanks

Man I reckon id get motion sickness driving one of them. No horizon to look at just Bitumen rolling by. Desperados just had to find a way to make their 1981 Cressida stand out.
