alrighty well its off topic hence it being here though after my recent car mods i wanna know what the most dodgy/ biggest stuff up is that you personally have done
for me i have 3 one turned out ok the other 2 are big woopsies...
first done some pannel beating using a simple claw hammer on my front left hand quarter pannel
second, droped a maglight in a hole in the chassy and i cant get it out.... (cheap and dodgy neons any one?)
third, airfilter is held inplace using... CABLE TIES! and not even large industrial ones they are simple cable ties that i have made chains out of and now have "firmly" holding my air filter in place _________________ as a shadow is seen and not heard i am here

lmao i used to work with a guy called justin who had a pristine twin turbo supra with the filter held on by cable ties.
ive been trying to measure the Rpm on the fiat which required me to clip on the meter to one side of the ign coil, but i must have clipped the center pole because i got a nice 30kv zap from the coil the engine block from my hand to my elbow.
couldnt move it the rest of the day
although when i got the car it had half the gaskets missing and the evapourative / emmision system hooked up wrong with massive air leaks everywhere. how fun that was to fix.
was it an aerotop or just an RZ? im looking to get myself an aerotop and drop in a 2jz-gte in a manual format, idealy i'd like to get one thats already set that way but if i have to do the conversions than so be it but thats just cause i love the look of supras _________________ as a shadow is seen and not heard i am here

My S13 is a mass of dodginess
The thermo fan is held in with ZIP TIES...
The Transmission cooler is held in with ZIP TIES...
The thermo fan power is run off the Engine Cont. relay, by pushing the wire into the hole and then inserting the relay behind it...
My Nistune ECU is held in with.... ZIP TIES...
My power steering leads are currently ZIP TIED out of the road...
Front grill is held in with ZIP TIES...
Rear speakers are held in by.... Gravity....
One time I had a pin hole develop in a hose going into the throttle bottle and dropped in an egg and she stopped leakin Thanks Adam and Jamie! Everytime I do a service, any clamps and bolts, I replace with zipties Weight reduction!
EDIT:
When I upgraded my front brakes to SR20DET, but I never sourced the tin covers on the inside of the hubs, so I used the pliers to just bend mine out so it doesn't touch the rotor...
Last motokhana, I had an issue with the hand brake locking on when doing hand brake 180's, so I DUCT TAPED the button in and she was just like a bought one _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

one time I replaced a fan belt for a friend, and then proceeded to drop his torch and smash a headlight. Fun! _________________ The Engine Whisperer
