My god... that is hilarious. Looks like a bunch of kids took their dad's shop tools and decided to "mod" a car

Did anyone else think "Danger to intake manifold" when they saw the teaser pics of the airbox on page 9

they used a file to do a "P&P"

Gotta give that "builder" props though. He's got a huge pair of cojones.... but no brains.

Seriously folks, if you haven't read that thread, its worth it.

Some highlights -

Dude modifies the combustion chambers with a hand file.
He paints the entire driveshaft candy apple red.
He paints the oil cooler gold.
He drills holes in the flywheel to make it lighter. I'm not kidding.
He fabricates his own clutch plate out of two separate plates, the most dangerous thing I've seen in a long time.
He is the worst welder in the world.

On and on and on and on......its spectacular.

Wow. I mean, just...wow. I feel sorry for the rube who got conned into allowing his ride to be abused like that.

To be honest, I'm surprised it even started. I don't know what is funnier, all the poorly painted parts or the diamond plate air intake.

yeah, I forgot to mention that... I did think that someone would say its a semi-good build but not "sick work" (in a good way sick)

that clutch was the last straw for me.. wow that whole build is crap.. the worst thing is that he had money to invest in some nice stuff (aem tien coilovers) and fucks up the rest of the build.. not only is the guy the worst welder/builder there is you can add painter to the mix. He didnt prep anything, no primer no pre solve no nothing.. fisheyes EVERY WHERE.
