Everyone says the Johoreans have the most mental and crazy car modifiers in the whole of Malaysia. Here’s some proof to back up that claim. Any KL-ite or Penang-ite got anything crazier than this?
It’s a Volvo 164 I think, from the badge at the back of the car. It has a number plate to match too. A classic beauty restored, then modified like crazy.
Here’s some history on the car. The Volvo 164 was in production from 1969-1975. It had a carburetted 3 litre engine making 148hp to 175hp depending on which model. The car was a real wheel drive and came with either a 4 speed manual or 3 speed automatic transmission.
Look at the number of exhausts on the car. They look like cheap straight flow mufflers to me. But cheap x 10, including piping (assuming all of them work) should cost about 1.5K! Crazy!
Another thing funny about the car is it has words on the back that says both Weber DCOE and Fuel Injection. So which is which? LOL!
The aftermarket meters on the dashboard is probably as many as the exhaust mufflers.

Holy Cow… siao one. On another note, i've seen a Chrystler something along the Federal a few months back with 4 exhaust pipes. THe wierd thing was that they are not completely black inside… Turns out they were not connected to anything…like WTFFFFF

Ohh! If any of you guys are from Subang or went to Taylors to do A Levels, then you should know Mr George the Chemistry lecturer. This fella is one weirdo! You should check out his car man! Its always in the Taylors area, near Twinsheds or near Silva's. Its a black car, possible an old Toyota or Mazda. It has all sorts of metal contraptions welded onto it! The guy even keeps potted plants in his car for crying out loud!
See? This proves that prolonged exposure to solvents can seriously harm the brain!

MutantTomato: Yeap… Mr George's car is famous in SS15. Apparently he sold the car to Lotus (the mamak) owner edi. So if you want to search for it, it's probably in front of Lotus.
YAH, i've seen Mr George car since i first came down to Subang (5 years ago) until today.
Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson have a section on thesite called Carbage. This should be in there.. together with some Malaysian cars that have already made the list.. haha
Hokkien Lang: Bro, I never had him as a teacher. All my friends were in Taylors. So, I used to hang around there a lot. One day, I see Mr. George coming out of the building. I asked them who he was and then they told me everything about him and his car.
J: really ah bro? No wonder I haven't seen his car at the normal haunts la.
Teochew nang: Yup! I think everyone in Subang knows his car la! Even us non Subang-ites!
MutantTomato : i know that eyesore man, everytime u pass by lotus, u can see the pile or scrap metal there, i heard he is smart yet retarded, the car explains his retardness, oh well, he might call it passion, but for forks sake, its ugly..ugghh
*proceeds to puke*
I think this ah pek tried to turn his car into the DeLorean (Back To The Future) with all the dials, etc
mutant tomato….

Mr george is not my teacher/lecturer, but his car is in front of my office. always see the car . The MPSJ also don't know wat to do or does it have commercial value…..? mr george always breakfast alone himself but now he got a friend(sure girl one maa) to have breakfast with him at Restoran Nasi Kandar. hehe he
Hokkien Lang: Bro, I know you were joking la….
Yup! I have seen some MPSJ fellas samaning other cars and whent hey come to his ca, they don't know whether to saman it, tow it away or just leave it! The more experienced MPSJ dogs already know his car la so they just leave it alone.
Free parking tips in Subang Jaya: dress up your car like that Mr George's one :p
I believe Mr George's car is a Subaru. Can't remember which model, it came out during the late 70s or earlier 80s. I think it is fugly.
