Making a 2 door G20 = Good Idea
Removing all the rear glass and smoothing everything out = Bad Idea

welding shut rear doors != coupe.

Maybe if he made the front doors a lot longer, and made the rear windows into a lot smaller pieces, but that would require him to put really crazy work into the car, while he seems to mostly just want something different and did it ghetto style.

What's he crazy, I wonder what he does for a living, Animal Catcher, Kidnap Kids. I mean why would you want to cover your rear and side windows with sheet metal and weld the the rear doors shut? Some people, Ya just don't know.:paranoid:

It was built by DC motorsports or something. It was featured in SCC mag. it looked awesome. the rear quarter glass was the most expensive part of the project., probably why that ugly g20 is just welded up.

well it sure is ugly ... i'll give it that

but the guy did mention 1 good possible purpose for it ... bass

if you weld the trunk shut(airtight), remove the wall between the cabin and inside(yes, it would be weaker) and build a wall right behind the drivers seat ... that thing could take six 12's easy ... and the bass would be incredible (when tuned)

... maybe thats what he was goin for ... ?

Thats not good at all. He should just put in a smaller rear window to make it somewhat better. Sad day to be a p10...:lol:

Can this car even be registerd for legal road use now with no back window? Good Ideal but he should have taken side windows from a 2dr sentra or something and put them in. Personally I think G20's where meant to be 4 door, the body lines just dont say "2 door"

I dunno, done correctly it could have looked pretty good... He may have been able to modify a Bmw 3 series coupe's doors and rear windows to make it a nice 2 door... but the dumb part about making a 4 door a 2 door is no matter how clean you make the outside, the seats still don't act like coupe seats (where they flip forward for easy access to the back)...But I've pictured the p11 as a coupe and it'd look pretty nice if you extended the front doors and made the rear window smaller like a 3 series coupe...

I think we should all chip in and buy this car so we can take it out to the woods, and give it a decent burial.

It has suffered enough.

As for interior body work, the rear deck has been cut out to make for the most room possible and there is a custom made square stock roll cage going from the trunk to the back of the front seat. The whole interiorWith all this work to the car it would make for an incredible SPL car that would be extremely air tight and braced.

I just about fell over reading that one... o.k. so he's trying to say it's all set up to be lightweight for racing..

...look it's an AUTOMATIC car!


What a stupid stunt!

Talk about the ultimate blind spot!


It seems obvious to me that they guy had some big stereo system he was trying to HIDE from view IMHO and it turned out just plain ugly so now he is selling out.. LOL

REAL RACERS DON'T TAKE OUT THE GLASS TO WELD IN SHEET METAL! The put in incredibly light Plexi glas...

That thing would be so damn dangerous on a track it isn't even funny! I doubt SCCA would even allow it due to visibility issues!

Is that thing even street legal?????

What a joke!!!! What a sad sad SAD car! It's just a disgrace (a disservice if you will) to all the P10 G20 owners (and previous owners) out there!!!

If only it was cheaper, I could buy it to part it out and have fun destroying the rest of it! Someone needs to get that thing off the road ASAP!!!!

LOL.... you got in your response before I finished typing...

I was thinking it should be parted out amongt you guys who still have P10s so that at least some of it can have a dignified life!!!

HEHE!

We should ALL bomb the guy with 'ask seller a question' on ebay! Maybe he'll answer one of us?

I still think this was either:

a) a stupid attempt to HIDE audio equipment
b) a crazy way to fix the car when his windows got smashed in
c) a high school shop class project gone bad
d) a Monster Garage drop-out
e) all of the above!

Sounds like he was talking about all of that simply for SPL... not lightweight for racing. Not that I'll tell you this fool has half a brain, I just want to make sure he's being mocked for the right reasons...

Yes.... unnnnreall..... i cant believe that guy would actually do that!!!

crazy

That Jetta though in SCC was quite amazing..... And yeah, he said the glass was the most expensive part, and I can imagine it would be.... custom molding your own glass.... that would be insanely pricey..... but he used Golf doors, which were larger... and that car come out amazing... looks just like a factory style Jetta Coupe..... makes me wish they would have actually made one....

SPL = Sound Pressure Loudness..... to sum it up in a nutshell, it measures your stereo is dB's.

SQ = Sound Quality.... ranked by judges, not a mic.

Dont worry about it, we all didnt know once upon a time..... and so what guys if he isnt a stereo guy, you learn sometime right???

So if the g20 family has a black sheep this is definately it (Although the multi-colored yellow/blue/red interior G from a while back comes close). Anyway I conquer (word of the day calender) with everyone, this is an atrocity and IMO is a clear cut case of "Oh man I really F'd my car up. Now to pawn it off on a sucker".

Yeah, modifications to the back window are legal, as long as you have two side view mirrors.
