"dodgy" Mods Youve Done To Your Car

When I mix bog I mix in a few spoons of iron fillings (from hardware shop). So when buyers think there all cunning and pull out a magnet to run over the car to find bog they don't :dance: Iron filings make it magnetic and will even make it rust..LOL

 

So that's about my limit...LOL

The 4k in my brothers old ke30 had a burnt exhaust valve and seat, and wanted me to fix it. He didn't have much cash at the time so I did it on the cheap.

 

Basically I grabbed a valve from an old head and ground it in with the help of a drill (on the stem) and a heap of coarse grinding paste. Needless to say the valve seat had a nice curve in it. :dance: A cheap Vrs kit and she was back on the road for under $50 and a few hours work.

 

Ran great for a couple of years until he got rid of it. He didn't change the oil in the 4 years or so he owned it. :cool: Think he bought a set of tyres and front brake pads for it, but didn't spend another cent except for fuel and a bit of oil to top it up from time to time. He's a shocker and has always run his cars into the ground.

I think that is the shadiest thing I've read in this thread. Remind me to never buy a car off of you.

Ditto.

Until the cars on Overhaul'n one day and they're stripping the car down and "what the crap?!"

 

 

Or pimp my ride - I can just hear Xzibit's laugh right now....

 

 

I think they wouldnt mind, they put so much bog into the things most of the time anyway!

That is dodgy as...until some smart ass like me come along and runs a paint thickness gauge which has an accuracy of about 1-2 microns :dance:

i took the seats out of my wrecking ke30 and a couple days later i realised i had to move it out front, so i grabbed a old battery and sat on that LOL

[orangeLJ]

Milk Crates or 20L drums work a treat. Remember to wear your seat belt tho. Safety first :jamie:

I had that problem with my AE71 . . . Being 6 foot whatever helped and I just jumped in and sat on the carpet :jamie: Was rather interesting looking at the neighbour

[beerhead]

Bahaha!

 

Reminds me of mates paddock bashing in a WB V8 ute using a milk crate as a seat. Was a slut, there wasn't a shifter because the B&M had been taken so you'd crawl under the car and pop it in drive directly on the gearbox. Funniest part was there was $10K worth of receipts in the glove box for the reco 308 under the bonnet :jamie:

Man, I'm just going to put it out there, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while! :(

 

I can see someone getting a darwin award for that - car drives over them whilst engaging the gearbox....

the overflow hose on my mates car was snapped off at the bottle and it was inconvenient the car leaked about a litre of water a minute from the water pump so we put the hose from the washer bottle and connected it to the overflow bottle hose so when its running a bit dry we just squirt some water in and it gets us another 10ks before we have to fill the radiator and washer bottle up again.......... got 5, 2 litre coke bottles of water in the boot
