souped up shitbox appreciation thread
>tfw no AWD TX3 Turbo Ford Laser
Aw yiss, best shitboxes.
>dat name
Fucking SA only, goddammit. All the imports on offer are at like 200k+ miles. So sad.
Turbo Chryslers in general

a lotus carlton ain't a shitbox m8
Bit of a stretch, I guess.
>>14150274
but a Vauxhall Carlton is
Same goes for the Escort Cosworth but the Carlton and Escort are both a far cry from their shitbox origins
>>14150276
the 6R4 is the ultimate souped up shitbox
but I wouldn't say rally homologation cars really count as they're basically just racing cars with number plates
what car minus three hundred grand ferraris and such like is not a shitbox, in /o/'s estimation these days?
>>14150276
>bit of a stretch
>MG metro 6r4
Do you understand what that car is?

That car is one of the most inane rally cars ever built if you were too much of a gooch to watch the video.
>>14150323
its like anything less than 100 k
or practical like having extra doors or a usable boot
lest that's what I gather
>>14150244
>>14150340
I have seen plenty live, in action, so...yeah, I know what they are.

These are swesome
the only things in this thread so far that could be considered shitboxes (though even that wouldnt really be very fair) are the astra, the clio and the renault 5.

>dem tiny brakes
>dat lack of arch liner up front
its a 1.2 with a body kit isnt it
a souped up shitbox is a de badged, rusty arched focus st170 with an induction kit, aftermarket exhaust and a sunstrip
not a clean, shiny, modern classic/retro car
>>14150614
The rear brakes aren't that big (facelift got the big AP brakes, I think?), but...not that tiny either, yeah.

>tfw your father had a 6R4
>got to drive it once before family moved countries and he sold it.
>>14150266
Is it related to a Mitsubishi?
>>14150755
Why would anyone get rid of a 6R4???
>>14150811
>people actually traded in multiple (3 at least) Sport Quattros for cash for clunker equivalents
>someone actually traded in a 3.0 CSL for the program

Godfuckingdamnit

>>14150869
Every single one of those owners should be shot and killed

Sometimes I wonder why we didn't get these. Talon TSIs were pretty common back in the day.
I always liked these for some reason.

>>14150266
hot damn thats sexy
>>14150869
Cash for clunkers is just the gift that keeps on giving, except all it gives is anger and bad feels.

I knew someone that had one of those, 323GTX. This was it, stripped out and caged for rallycross, also had a much, MUCH bigger turbo. Shitloads more power than stock, he let me drive it one time and it was pretty scary how fast it took off. Pic related
