    It's amazing. it's mad.

    It says do not, under any circumstances, piss off the De-esse.

    However, you can achieve the same thing just by hydraulically raising the DS' ride height from the comfort of your drivers seat. And it probably rides better.

    The car really needs the turbo I-4 from a 900 or 9-3. Better power, less weight, and a manual transmission.

    Those cars have pretty durable drivetrains, so finding donors for the swap shouldn't be too tough.

    C'mon all you Jalops - swap an engine, get a free beer!

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet:

    HEY! I totally said that but my posts aren't showing/approved often.

    it's an l81 GM V6 turbo good for 200HP and 220LBft.

    the 2.3L Turbo 4-cyl makes 5 more hp and 40more lb-ft with 30% better fuel economy.

    @SantaRita: I didn't say you didn't - and I've been busy - so not reading so closely, nor all the comments.

    I try to promote all my pals when I come across their comments - including yours - but I haven't been having so much luck lately picking up all those hitch hikers with their thumbs out - something about the software, or something.

    The I-4 in Griffin/Aero dress makes a good deal more hp. There's a lag penalty, but it makes for a fun ride.

    But I see these glyphs, and I click on them, and sometimes something happens. I particularly like it when I do that and I get extra kibble.

    Split windshield and suicide doors, sign me up! Why is there only half a rear bumper in the first picture and a complete one in the last picture?
    I think it's wonderful, but it really shouldn't be an automatic. That, of course, should go without saying!

    And here's the original concept: a 92 fitted with two of the original two-stroke 3-cyl engines.

    They called it "The Monster."

    Malcolm McDowell approves.

    A 35hp Kohler is a step up from the original two-stroke, but you gotta admit the sound of the stocker is like nothing else. Just tooling down the road sounds like the Hounds o' Hell out for a spin.

    A 92 is a flyweight car, if it weighs more than a ton he's topped up the oil tank. That doesn't give the V6 much to do. Dad's 96 would hit 40mpg due to the modest weight and excellent aero characteristics - I'd be fascinated to know how well this does economy-wise.

    This is awesome, if by, "awesome," one means, "an abortion."

    I love DSes. I love Landcruisers. I do not love both in one vehicle.

    @ccc40821: No, it's wackier: custom frame, turbo'ed Nissan engine, Landy body, Citroen suspension (and inboard brakes!), and a Jaguar differential for laughs. It's basically a rolling fever dream.

    I can't decide whether it looks more or less like an insect up on those big tires. The front end looks fine but the Citros are just as famous for those tiny rear ends and near-invisible rear wheels--so that rear fender/quarter panel action makes this a Shitroen. Which is a real shame, because the front is totally perfect.
