Dodgy Things You Have Done To Your Cars

[SECURITY]

i did loads of dodgy shit to my VN, it was my first car.

-one of the front seat mounts broke so i had a vacuum cleaner wedged behind the seat to stop me from swinging back.

-the front bar was held on by cable ties.

-i ripped the air filter out completely and put a stocking over the pipe. better performanz y0.

-the muffler was rusted so i grinded it off and didnt replace it. i also drilled a hole through the cat.

-i had a decent system in the car.. but couldnt afford a box for my sub.. so i put it in a bucket and used sikaflex to seal it.

-i removed the rear springs and cut the front ones.

-i removed the rear springs and cut the front ones.

there are plenty of VNs in town that are sitting on bump stops.

i've seen a xd falcon with a eb GT front bar on it. and a vh commodore with a vr front bar on it.

thats some real dodgy shit right there lol

used a drill to cut out a hole to put the cooler piping through, this left sharp edges so i wraped an old sock around the pipe so it wouldnt rub on the sharp metal.

[ctjet]

oh i forgot...

kept blowing the cooler piping off on high boost so we drilled a hole through the piping and threaded copper speaker wire through the holes and around the pipe. Problem.... solved

i have tape around the coil packs, zip ties hold my inter cooler on and my front bar. I had a rock thrown through my front windscreen and taped it up with hundred mile an hour tape. the holes in the bot lid from were the spoiler was has tope over them

commodores were meant for this kind of treatment i think. i went through 2 motors and a gearbox. i was driving it around for a few months with a failed main bearing on my 2nd motor till i sold it to a wrecker for $400.

its a huge piss off though. i spent around $5000 fixing the thing.

I've painted a car with house paint once. Looked great. Preparation consisted of one of those green scourers.

The dodgiest thing done to the Skyline is no soldering, just electrical tape on any wiring I've done.

Oh man thats Gold!!

Ive done a couple - first car was a suzuki swift - owned it for 3 years and only ever serviced it twice and it still went

- chopped the gearstick with a hacksaw to have a short shifter

- drove around with the air filter cover off - wicked induction noise yo

another one is my g/f's old telstar the passenger seat mount broke hence i put a brick underneath it and a steering lock wedged from the back seat to keep the seat upright!

you can't really call Cable tieing something "dodgy"

it's common practice!

once had a corona wagon, only car i ever smoked in, never cleaned, kicked allot. the roof had been filled with chiprock and plaster as the metal had rusted away. chucked some sheet metal over the top an brazed the sheet on from the bottom first ofcoarse then chip-rock + plaster with housepaint finish.

got a hole in the rocker cover so distinct lack of compresion so welded on some sheet metal then proceded to weld the cover to the motor. all compression issues fixed. had a leak in the exhuast which made the most anooying whistling sound so pulled of the rear muffler, found something of some other econo box @ reckers that matched ish to the brackets and just stuck it in there. car came for free, sold for $400 to reckers. did tell him most of hte car was not metal and he still offered me that much for the shitter

dodgiest thing ever done to line

took of S2 wing and added 33 r wing with rear brake light.

never skimp on anything when it comes to the beasty, solder and even bloody heat shrinks etc. love my common whore of a 33 I DO!

i crashed a toyota coroner into a tree trying to be a rally car driver once

it bent a rod in the steering so i brought the rod into school and got the metal works teacher to bend it bak. then i put i back on the car n drove around. the car was so f**kin dangerous but i still drove it around the place

[Jdfnq]

umm.....

used newspaper and chicken wire to fix rust spots(bogged over of course)

bought $500 cars, washed them properly, tuned them and gave em some new carpet and sold them for $2000

amazing what people will buy
