Seems to be a popular way to pimp up cars. In Berne I knew a guy who had 
filled parts of the front of his Fiat 126 Bambino (which I had sold him) 
with liquid concrete to have a better balance with the rear engine he had 
tuned (I have to say that car was the heck of a racer in small and 
rectangular streetcorners like in Berne's inner city - no braking needed - 
just steer the wheel and give gas). Later the guy had an accident and drove 
into a Volvo 144. The Volvo driver was shocked how such a small car could 
destroy his supposedly well impact-protected car!
