show me a transmasculine car. but a little flamboyant with it.

Well, I pretty much literally asked for this.

So.

To me, a transmasculine car must be a car that underwent some sort of process -of transformation- that resulted in an aesthetic difference between before and after, right?

And that is very much a thing in cars. I mean, you don't even need to know about cars to know people transform them in all sorts of ways, right? But what I intend to talk about specifically here is front-end swaps - people smacking completely different front ends onto their cars to make them look a way they deem preferable - or sometimes just to save money over the original parts. Such is the story of the Sileighty (or sil80), which is a Nissan 180SX onto which drifters that fucked the front end put Nissan Silvia parts instead because they were cheaper and lighter. Before and after:

Now, potentially this may already satisfy your request, but let's keep going anyway: From the opposite swap -putting a 180SX front on the Nissan Silvia- nicknamed Onevia, before and after...

...was born an idea: see, some people thought what the Silvia really needed weren't the headlights from the 180SX, but the ones from a decade younger Honda Odyssey minivan. I don't know why they thought that but it turns out the custom bodykit they created around the concept proved them right.

Now, since as you might have gathered before the Silvia and 180SX front ends are interchangeable, this custom bodykit also bolts right up to the 180SX. Let's see the before and after on that...

Yeah, I feel like we're pretty close.

Although, for the sake of completion, I must add that Nissan also pulled this "different front end for different body styles" trick with the Skyline and its wagon version, the Stagea - and many Stagea owners felt the need to rectify that by installing the Skyline front end on their cars, resulting in the below before and after:

And now, on a completely unrelated note purely because it's pretty rare you get an excuse to bring this up, while some say the 90s Subaru Sambar Dias -also called... well, many other things, really- was the peak of personal transportation (it's me, I'm some), someone else at Subaru clearly thought it wasn't classic enough - hence the special Dias Classic edition (as featured in Love Hina!), which I'm sure was right up someone's alley.

I'm not that confident in my awareness of what I just went on about, so I would very much appreciate some feedback and, of course, reblogs to make the stupidest poll I've seen in quite some time get even bigger a sample size than it ever deserved.

And now for something completely different! This is a #SubaruVivio T-top - one of the more eclectic 90s #Kei cars, but it’s also sporting a retro kit. Interest in small retro cars in Japan - where chrome was always desired by some buyers - simmered in the 80s - with new-build Minis, Autobianchi A112s, and 2CVs finding favor among the sleek moderns - but the trend really took off after Nissan’s “Pike” cars - the Be-1, Figaro, Pao, and S-Cargo. - The popularity of those cars led to a wide variety of aftermarket kits and retro-themed production cars. The archetypal 90s #JDM retros came from Mitsuoka - most famous for the Nissan March/Micra-based Viewt and other over-the-top #retrocars. - But the retro trend was popular enough for there to be production retro versions of all sorts of regular cars. The Vivio T-top Bistro and Sambar Dias Classic were Subaru’s first, but the manufacturer later extended the treatment to the other Vivios and the Impreza. - The regular Vivio was considerably more subdued in appearance than this retro T-top, and replaced the Rex in early 1992. The car got its name from it’s displacement - the Roman numerals VI VI O stand for “660” (the engines were actually 658cc, but 660cc was the Kei class displacement limit). Basic Vivios used a 48-hp NA version of the engine, with supercharged and 16V versions available. The cars were featherweights even for Keis - less than 1,600 lbs., so they made good use of their power. - The basic Vivios were a three- and five-door hatch, just like the outgoing Rex, but in the atmosphere on the boom times of the late 80s, Subaru also included a “lifestyle” Convertible - the T-top. The name was a little misleading. The model was called T-top but the roof was called “Multi-top” - and it had five possible configurations with the roof coming off in three panels and the rear window being removable as well, making for a roomy, airy convertible in warm times and a fully-sealed coupe when it was cold. Space was tight, so in the best retro roadster tradition, a spoiler-like luggage rack sits on the trunk lid. - The Vivio was replaced by the Pleo in 1999, and sadly, the T-top didn’t reappear. #SubaruVivioTtop #KeiCars (at SODO-Moto) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4eDCDlyLr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xcgb00nkemor
