The Volkswagen VR6 has become a motor that’s truly outgrown its original home. Their small footprint, and extreme availability makes them a great option for those wanting to be unique without breaking the bank.
Or, perhaps a Volkswagen enthusiast like Hans Fracke who happens to end up behind the wheel of a British sports car, like a Triumph TR6.
Transplants save lives! Fred is a self proclaimed Mopar guy who just so happens to own a Cadillac with a potent Mopar 440 under hood. A Plymouth interior joins the Mopar inspired ride and in the style department, hydraulic suspension, Astro Supreme wheels and a flaked roof make it a proper custom.
I like it. I like it a lot. So much that I wrote a feature about it in 2019.
Style, power, and insanity describe this Dynamotorsports tuned RA21 Toyota Celica.
It features a Toyota 2UZ V8 swap, a Garett turbocharger and a Ford Performance SVT supercharger.
Dynamotorsports had a considerable hand in the creation of this car, along with its owner John Nguyen.
Complimenting the American muscle-eseque styling are considerable sized Advan GT wheels with suitable rubber at all four corners giving the car a proper, functional stance.
Official power numbers have not been released, but I don’t imagine they will be held a secret too much longer.

What happens when you have a BMW M6 that won’t sell, and a rusty Datsun 240z that needs a bit more than a basic restoration? You combine the two into a subtle, crossbred sleeper.
This local build gets spotted all over Ontario proving it’s much more than just a show piece.
This 2JZ Swapped Jaguar XJ6 was a bit of a one hit wonder. It was around for about a singe season, then later showed up on Kijiji. From there, heaven knows where this British/Japanese creation ended up.
Sorry for the lack of specs on this car, we’ll have to wait until it reemerges.
Who doesn’t love a Foxbody Mustang? Nobody I want to be friends with that’s who. The is practically a cultural icon but this Fox doesn’t sport Fords factory 5.0 302.
Instead, Toyota’s original straight six JZ, the 1JZ VVTI has been put between the strut towers.
Built to drift this car did that very, very well.
This car has since however been parted out, but it looks like he’s about to build a replacement.
Alex Lachance has a pretty impressive history of cool cars vehicles kicking around his stable with his 1JZ RX-7 being perhaps his personal favorite.
In addition to looking fantastic the car is very good at what it was built for, driving sideways with style and grace.
Rotary fans might not like this car so much but hey, there’s plenty of FCs left in the world right?
Four doors, 5.9L Cummins turbo diesel power and air ride. What more could you ask for from an OBS truck?
Well how about a luxury leather interior borrowed from a BMW? You can always count on the mini truck community to build something completely different.
2020 Update, the interior is complete and the engine bay has seen a bit of an revamp.
The ultimate Honda parts bin dive, Luigi Montanez racing built a turbo k20 powered Acura Integra. To convert the formerly front wheel drive car to rear wheel drive Luigi and crew used a combination of parts lifted from Elements and CRVs.
Connecting the dots is an S1 built “AWDHONDA” kit. The kit was originally built for drag cars, but, straightaways are basically short quarter miles right?
The J body community is a wild group of enthusiasts with next to no middle ground. Their show cars are either incredibly tragic, or, incredibly unique and interesting.
This Northstar V8 swapped, bagged, and kitted Cavalier was the later. Unfortunately it was parted out roughly a year after these photos were taken.
