Igniton's Monster Hakosuka

At first glance this, KGC10 Skyline 2000GT looks much like many other hakosuka Skylines that can be found within Japan's classic car scene. These cars typically have a mildly tuned L-series engine under the hood and subtle exterior modifications. The only things that give hint to the monster machine that this car is are the large, extra wide wheels and tires and accompanying fender flares.

Osaka-based tuning shop Ignition specializes in all things fast and cool including classic cars, modern sports cars, and motorcycles. This particular car is the owner's pride and joy. It has been built up over the past several years into one of the most heavily modified KGC10's I have ever seen.

First, take a look under the bonnet: 

The car is powered by a GTR-sourced RB26 engine, and although there are other RB-swapped KGC10's around, few are as extreme as this one.

The modifications done to this car include:

-Single Turbo Conversion w/ Massive T78 Turbine

-720CC Injectors/Upgraded Fuel System

-3 Core Radiator

-2 Core Front Mount Intercooler

-Power FC

-One off exhaust system

-Full suspension from an R31 Skyline w/Swift Springs (8K/12K)

-R33 Skyline Transmission w/ Twin Plate Clutch

-ARC Stabilizer Bars

-6 Point Roll Cage

-R33 Skyline Brake Calipers

-FRP Hood, Trunk, Fenders

-Carbon Bucket Seat

-Full Defi Gauges

-The exterior is painted in the famous "Bayside Blue" from the BNR34 Skyline.

Check out Ignition's web page for the full build-up of the car. I love the way this car is done. It has tough, all buisness look to it. It is not a show car, but something made to be driven hard. When I travel to Osaka I can't wait to get a good look at this thing up close, and maybe see what it feels like to ride in a fully tuned monster kyu-sha!
