"Case Modding" a Nissan Sentra

Lawrence Person writes "Given all the interest Slashdot has shown in casemodding as of late, I thought they might be interested in an extreme "casemod" of a Nissan Sentra, turning it into a lean, mean race machine! Emphasis on the lean part..."

Yes but...

[gmby]

Does it run LINUX?

I case modded my sports car too.

[jerryasher]

But I had to tell the insurance company a different story.

You've *got* to be kidding. On Slashdot?

[andawyr]

Got Rice?

Umm...

[deadsaijinx*]

where's the computer? Oh... no computer :( ...

let's see .... Does it run Linux? (obligatory joke) ... ok ... kinda reminds me of the golf cart the school monitor used to chase me in when I ditched class. Seriously, this guy would chase you around campus with a damned golf cart. Once, I got him to chase me all the way to McDonalds (about a mile away on foot for me - funny as hell though, cuz he got busted for driving his golf cart on the street)

Awesome

[Sialagogue]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

I paid a stripper in Florida to do something similar once, but it turned out that even without all the exterior parts a lap dance still took two songs.

the ex or the car? (or both?)

Srashdot - News for Asians. Stuff that matters.

[Anonymous Coward]

It's official. Since Slashdot featured a rice rocket on the front page with absolutely no mention of a computer anywhere, the site will now be known as Srashdot. News for Asians.

Seriously though, wouldn't taking all the doors and stuff off make it a lot less areodynamic than the weight savings it generated? Did these people really have nothing better to do???

Where's the Neon?

[stefanlasiewski]

Bah, it's not a case mod unless you use Neon, and a blue-LED fan in the shape of a biohazard symbol...

DUCT TAPE

[mesach]

I am sooo glad that the only thing that they seem to have ADDED for some stability somewhere on the car, was done with DUCT TAPE!

What an overweight turd

[Snarfvs Maximvs]

They ripped all that off the car and it still tips the scales at over 1700 lbs??? That engine must have a cast lead block or something.

Case Modding?

[quantaman]

Reminds me more of those people that just take off the outside of the case completely [sportcompactcarweb.com]!

Then again should help them avoid overheating. Tell me what engine is the equivalent of an AMD?

Re:nice magazine, throwaway article

[Anonymous Coward]

the sherman tank also does 0-60 only when falling out of a plane.

Nissan is Mhz not Ghz!

[tinrobot]

Why spend all that money hopping up a cheap little econocar?

Kind of like buying a $200 aluminum case for a 486.

Re:Where's the Neon?

[Jonboy X]

Dude, my sister drives a Neon, and it'd take one heck of a mod to get that thing running 14's...

Re:This is a little bit funny but that it.

[saihung]

I am seriously tempted to carry around a couple of grapefruits in my bag, just so I can stuff them into any exhaust tip that looks big enough to hold one.

[geekoid]

what if they strap a jet on top of a nova?

That was with Cowboy Neal behind the wheel! ;)

You're stoned, aren't you? =D

I could build a beowolf cluster

A traffic jam?

Re:Better with a beetle

[th1nk]

My dad did the same thing 40 years ago, hitting 90 mph, uphill, in the snow!

Ride my Rice Rocket

[diadem]

This goes to show you - apperance makes the diffrence! I painted my '90 corolla with a killer paint scheme and BAM! I toasted this Z3 like it was nothing. Man, you saw the look on his face. Granted, this was in a school zone, but that's not the point. I would have reached 40 miles an hour, but it was uphill.

I'm saving up for a Civic. I think can so paint the hell out of that thing. I'm thinking of lowering it and putting a lot of stickers on it and chromign the entire car. That'll kick ass, but I think I'll need a spoiler so the thing doesn't take flight.

Re:14.Xs quarter mile?
