Mod was interesting (i want to think) from a certain point of view, of course, for the streets and a daily drive is a no no, if the hood has issues and its going to be thrown away i see this as a decent way to spend some time doing something crazy just for shit & giggles, something i think the OP was doing, or, thinking of a dragstrip car this could be great, throwing flames while burning rubber, and while shifting at night could be really cool.
There is always different tastes for everything, and this is the case, sadly, not many people appreciated the effort to do something uber-crazy, but that might be fun to watch later, props for trying, i would had it for the track.
