YLD 10S Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's not a mod but the dodgiest thing happened yesterday.

abbott Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 had a paddock basher up at mates property and dodgy to keep it going would take me days to write but when towing it after a thrash, tried to tow it through the light hole and the boot hole. the final result was half the back of the car being ripped off! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 1 side mirror All and all a good day for me :P I managed this as well! Although this may have been because it came from the factory with only the drivers side mirror! Nice work with the (un)roadworthy :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 another dodgy thing i've seen and done IS On a 22r hilux motor when your pulling the head off it, there is 1 or 2, 12 - 14mm bolts that go into the front timing chain/engine cover, a mate of mine and i were replacing the ''leaking'' head gasket and re,oved the head along with this chunk of front timing chaing cover that had been siliconed back together!!!! Called the owner of the car and said dude it's f@$ked he said just silicone it back up and i'll sell the bloody thing, so as he said we put it back together, siliconed the hell outta the the front timing chain cover threw a new head gasket into it and he sent it on it's way. Bloody P.O.S hilux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Sealant when used properly = Silicone Sealant when not used properly - Silly-c**t :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Drove an EB falcon wagon about 15km with no exhaust at all, Straight out of the exhaust ports. The noise and black smoke was insane. Also it had a slipping clutch so had to get a run up to make it up the hill in my old street. I had a Mazda 323 panel van and i seized the 1500 so i found a 1400 for about $30 and fitted it. The bastard wouldnt start as the exhaust valves were sticking open a little so i whipped the tappet cover off and bashed the end of the valves with a plank of wood till they were free. That crunk o shit used about 10 litres of oil in 300km. Used fencing wire to the shifter in on an old sigma. When it 1st came out it was stuck in 2nd so i found out it does 120kph in 2nd.

SLW42 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 wasn't my car we were gonna do it properly and get a whole new timing chain cover, but he didn't care and just wanted it running again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that things are done to the owners requests sometimes, not as they should be. ;) Just a little joke I've picked up along my travels, silicone has its uses (such as substituting for a gasket) but sealing a leak in a natural gas line is NOT one of them! I discovered that while under a house & the owner casually says to me "yeah I did that, works well huh?".... :wtf: I could smell gas which is how I discovered it there in the first place.

Nah wasn't related to wear at all, it was clean snapped off the timing chain cover, like they'd lifted the head up from the back and just heaved on it till it snapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
