ETAN improvements

[Dancealot]

Hello everyone,

This is a new ETAN with a new Kubota 140 engine; The one below is what I have. It drives great after 25 years... But I would like to pimp it, but I have no idea where to start.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you.

I like the choice of tires.

Must handle like a dream.

You can not be serious..........you driving this junk on the road?

Please, tell me where you live, so I never come near you.

He sounds serious to me.

A Few Go Faster Mountain Dew Bottles should give it more Street Cred. A TRD Fortuna Sportivo sticker will really pull the Ladies..

Fix the cigarette lighter...

The little E-tans around my way are now being built with 1KD-FTV's in them. They go like the clappers. Handling isn't their strong point though and I'm waiting to see one that's landed in a paddy.

Has potential...

I don't have an e-tan......yet! But I do have a Kubota.....and I like it!

But it's a bit small to pull the trailer safely.....

Go for it DAL......

What's the plan,farm use or personal transport?

[VocalNeal]

While I like the asymmetric headlights I think changing them or at least splitting them. Then change the lenses to red?

Alternatively some LED daytime running lights?

The original blue may have been darker but I do like French racing blue.

The seats need a French polish

Steering wheel cover from Tesco?

To be really 2014 the air cleaner should be black?

But I am more mechanically inclined than cosmetically inclined so my first thoughts would be along these lines

Don't forget to put a girl removing her underwear sticker on the back!

You could install a rear view mirror. Then you would have somewhere to hang some fuzzy dice.

So far, VocalNeil was the funniest.Thank you. Out of likes so...

@Shaggy. It will be used for farming and transport purposes. So it doesn't have to go very fast, thank you.

[edit] And thanks guys for trying to take me serious. Really, I dont want to change it into a lawnmower. I want to revive it because of sentimental reasons.

[Ace of Pop]

You MUST HAVE a Funny Air Filter like the Boy Racers , we all know they have that Unsilenced quality built in without a Bean Can Exhaust...

[IMHO]

Here's a few photos to draw inspiration from, that keep it's current "zombie world"/"post apocalypse" theme going

This might be the winner for the swamps...

[stubuzz]

It looks like it needs a machine gun behind the checker plate.

Touring with Krisb.

Fix the cigarette lighter...

Needles to say, I know this by heart:

You traded IT...! (our old car), for a microphone.

[Som wat]

Just sand it and paint it.

[Lancashirelad]

Send it for sandblasting and paint. 4 new tyres. New 140 Engine. All new lights. Job's a goodun.

Now you're picking on Mountain Dew? You're really starting to get on my bad side... hadn't realized there were so many angry smilies on here.

Out of likes? You can run out of likes?? I didn't know you could do that? In that case I'll wait until you've reloaded to post my wittiest repartee.

OP are those polishing rags I see hanging on the left there?

[WitawatWatawit]

When you take it out on the road, does someone walk in front with a flag and a whistle?

Historically no one ever walked in front of a car with a flag, at least not in UK.

I don't think I've ever seen someone take soda so seriously :D

Etans come with a Pressure Washer Built in Quite often on the N.S. Front Fender. Hope they are correctly Earthed.Dont want W.W.3 breaking out again.

Don't need earth jack... it's on rubber tires and gas powered washer... take that home with ya!! oops not the finger I intended to post.

Dancealot, I was going to suggest nitrous oxide injection but after getting a look at your ride, nitroglycerine might be more in order! Then you can buy that new one.

Hey mate just wondering what you have done to your E-Tan . You must of had a few ideas by now . New motor Around 50 k . Thats a good start and a lick of paint , cheap , led glow lights underneath the chassis mate. I'm fitting an amp with Ipod jack on mine with some f@#k off speakers left over from our karaoke bar days . Hopefully drown out the loud thunder of an exhaust on it .
