most extreme i've seen in person is 87GTR's. its not "wild" really, but a 500whp street FC is quite extreme in my opinion.
most extreme body kit i would throw at the yellow one hiGGi posted. again, its not wild, but it was so extreme(ly cool) that i vote it.
20Bs are always extreme as far as engine swaps. i can't think of a 20B FC right now. i know people have them, i just can't *picture* one except that one guy with the right hand drive with that was in super street.
extreme paint, stereos, and lights need not apply.

One customer with a 20B NA (no turbos) that's daily driven and gets 15 - 16mpg.

Not many of the others can say that.

Well I went extereme by swapping my NA engine for a TII engine with no emissions and straight through exhaust.

Not that shabby going from a 17 second car to a 14ish one.

For crazy ones I've seen...

Carx7 has a gnarly ride.

Suspension and engine setup is beautiful.

The craziest stuff was at Sevenstock though.

There was a 3 or 4 rotor FD there(can't remember it was a 23g or somthinng weird)!

The most extreem setups are the fullon ferarri style conversions done by the US www.mariahmotorsports.com and AustralianAVO (Advanced Vehicle Operations)

When you're dealing with suspension geometry changes, stiffer springs & shocks, grafting on a huge bodykits, 3 rotor upgrades, etc... it doesn't get more extreme.

For larger/closeup pics, check my bodykit albumn on imagestation here:

if it was a 3rotor race engine, it was probably the 13g. i've never heard of 23g, but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

I find it odd that this Aussie company is using the R.E. Amemiya FC3S in their ads.  It's a one-off R.E.A. design that does not come in kit form.&nbspl Does AVO imply they made it themselves?  Or they are making copies of that "kit"?  I find it disturbing that there is no acknowledgement of R.E. Amemiya anywhere...even on their confusing website.
