i see things like this up at the big auburn auction in the fall every year.
although they look like the answer to the question nobody asked, to me, i suppose that for someone they may be just the ticket. tom w

He's got a bidder at $13000 - I'd bet its a shill.

Anyone dare to guess why there are no engine pictures or description of it beyond "4 CYLINDER 1.6 LITER"?

I'm not hatin'...
...a decent execution of a "ricer" show car...would do well in such a competition. Beyond that, not much real-world use for such a vehicle...either turn it into a drag-strip contender or a cruise strip thumper...not both! Curious though...one pic shows the "hop switches" attached to a cable going nowhere...but never reveals any hydraulic pumps or battery racks needed to feed such a system...hmmmmm. And the $13K first bid offer? Yeah right! BTW, if the car does sell, I hope the owner invests some of the money in a "Hooked on Phonics" course! His/her atrocious spelling makes the individual look ignorant in my book!

An air suspension system isn't fast nor compliant enough to respond to the type of movements that would make "hop switches" useful. Even if it was, it would take one hell of a compressor to be able to spool up enough air pressure to allow the type of "hopping" that hydraulically-activated setups provide. Not to mention the on-demand high amperage requirements for the compressor to perform the task (again, batteries).

The first thing I see when I look at that car is "hey cops, look at me, I'm 18 and up to no good!" Modified Asian cars are just cop magnets. Thank God I'm 40 and look clean cut, so I have become invisible to the boys in blue.
