Besides that Thailand people apparently have tons of money to put into a car... laugh.gif I don't know, I like the shape of the Tib a lot, maybe they do too and they wanted a very spirited car with the Tib looks. Costwise, it would be absurd to think in anything like it, unless of course your wallet is loaded.
Very nice though, but it has been discussed before.

I like how even his friends have tibs, but none of them have a tib engine haha. Must be nice to have that kinda money or have parts that affordable, whichever it is.

Well one of them had a Nissan engine, I didn't recognize the other one lol so maybe that's the 1.6 you're talking about.

yeah, those are no toy cars. they may look like ours, but ours are like replicas compared to those.

it musn't be that much money, they probably do it all themselves. i mean a used engine that fits into the bay and you would have to hook up the right electrical wires, bolts, and hoses, then turbocharge them. probably cost around $9000-$10,000 to get everything running.

it makes me wonder the possabilities of throwing a DSM GSX turbocharged engine in my car along with the turbocharger. you wouldn't even have to touch the engine nor order any new parts. is that even possible?

but those are the craziest engine bays i've ever seen. thanks for posting them up.
