LOL you win forever. I'm speechless.

Nice! The lifted Suzuki is clearly the winner.

I'm going with the Flowmaster carb hat... That's ghetto fab fo sho.

[Billyman]

This is BILLYMAN!!!!!

On planetlsx my membership has been "set aside". I'm shown as a member but my password nor my email address is found. If I re-register, I have to do so under a different name and that's BS. This is my thread! I'm the original author but the thread opener/poster (as author) is "colonel". That's plagiarism! I put together this thread and posted it on another forum long before I posted it here.

Is this a sign of how things are going to be when it's officially open? I was told it would be different than LS1tech but so far it looks to be a mirror of it...........all BS included.

WTF?

How about this one:

Alright, after reading a ton of threads on welding up gears for extra traction, i went ahead and welded mine up.


I put the third back in and went to pull out of my garage, and I just roasted my clutch. I figured that maybe there was some slag left in the bearing, so i dropped it in 4lo and lo and behold something broke loose.
MY FUCKING DRIVE LINE.

I'm really pissed at all this BS talk. I welded my junk really wel. And now my driveline is twisted up like a damn pretzel.

You are all a bunch of shit talkin Jerks.

What the hell did you all do differently?

[Pro Stock John]

No there is a glitch Billy we will be fixing it. LOL @ Brian's pic, that's hilarious.

[J-Rod]

I am wondering if the picture of the turbos on top of the flowmasters was someone doing a "hidden" turbo kit. The fab works a little too good... Run the plumbing in the car, and come in from the firewall like that 63 Tempest and really suprise some folks...

The rest... well... interesting...

Wow, I had only seen a couple of these.

Some of these are downright scary!

[WILWAXU]

Great stuff!

The "turbo" flowmasters are some serious sleeper material.

[WILWAXU]

Nice! The lifted Suzuki is clearly the winner.

KurtI can see the sales ad now "When 4" lift blocks don't quite cut it... "

Haha this is great..

[tails8]

Umm wow. That Suzuki samurai looks like it will ride as smooth as a caddy lol.. :)

[xny1989]

It's nice to see people can weld as well as I can!

[Nautilus]

Billy bob needs to step away from the welder... :D


I'd like to see some more pictures of the muffler mounted turbo's. lol

[MARO-KEEN]

And just think some people think that is some bad ass fab work.. I mean how can you look at that and say "damn that looks killer"

that right there shows you can't mig everything...you can try but not really

[Billyman]

I wanted to add some detail at an overlooked piece. I did some serious research as I was gathering pics when making this thread. Below is the again pic of the manifold/turbo configuration as the fist pic in this thread. This is NOT a deteriorated/rusted away old project of yesterday. At the time the photo was taken (2006) it was all brand new and ready to install. Believe it or not, there was two of the same as it was a twin turbo project. The monstrosity that you see is consisting of 6lbs of brass braising rod!!!!!!!!!!!

turbo mufflers....lmao!

[Moparnos (The SLP Guy)]

lol greatest fabricators from hondatech.

That crap makes me look like a fabrication professional. :popcorn:

[JayplaySS3]

What's really funny are the guys looking at some of these wondering what's actually wrong. Awesome :o

Hopefully not anyone on this forum! lol

[ForcedTQ]

Wow, these photos are freaking funny as hell. Some people need to NOT PROCREATE. Might have alot less ID10Ts in the world if people took more time to learn and understand things rather than think they know what they are doing and F' them up. I realize most of these are jokes; I HOPE! :cheers:

[AlexTheGreat]

The creators of these monstrosities should not be allowed to reproduce.

At least they made me laugh...

[Joshiedoom]

That last pic above looks worse than wreckage pulled from the titanic off the sea floor...

[98formula17]

I remember seeing the pic of the turbos mounted on the mufflers on another forum... If I remember right he was trying to put them in a mustang. He had pics of cutting up the floorboard and everything

[NateSpence]

Yes, it was actually a very clean install. There was actually custom piping in the mufflers themselves, so it wasn't just a turbo welded to a muffler lol.

I once tried to weld a muffler on my 81 malibu.. that was an epic failure and would have graced this thread very well :o

[Sammyboy]

Muffler plenum!!!!..............why don't I think of these things???

HAHAHA Yes! That has to be a joke, who would remove that to weld it? Plus he must have read about welding bolts in the spider gears.

[Shawn MacAnanny]

I dont think anything beats my LS4 'dune buggy' that i had a few drinks and some scrap metal and decided i would do something with the two. Its still in my yard and i have since parted out the ls4/4t65ehd

Hahahaha

Oh wow hahah. Did you ever finish it and get it running?? haha

[Shawn MacAnanny]

Haha well i got a complete LS4/4T65eHD for $400 on ebay and i had bought it for the 243 heads and had a spare set of 241s so i decided i was going to use the LS4 with an MSD 6012 box to run it carbd. I was going to use the impala hubs and spindles welded straight as an IRS driveline for the FWD transmission but ended up decided it was going to actually cost more than a couple hundred dollars.

The camaro subframe (from a 94 Z28), trailer frame and all were basically a temporary jig to get everything installed in place, get the motor running and moving, then spend money on the chasis haha. It was just one of those dumb, bored one day, ideas.

[SPLATT]

looks like most the pics came from a honduh website lol. Awesome.

[Occupational_Hazard]

so when my welds look like a dirt dobber nest, thats not good? I thought it was just added security

[Havoc54]

lmao, dirt dobber nest. These pics are freakin hilarious.

[OneMeanZ]

Holy shit haha

[Shawn MacAnanny]

Haha what's wrong with a flux core welder? I use mine for alot of stuff. I think i piad $120 for it lmao. Also another one of our projects i thought it about that is just as bad.

Were in the process of my friend 96 Tacoma LS1 swap at my house and we're using my 1954 Harry Furgeson tractor to movie the engines and such around with the stump boom, and the radiator just completely rusted out from time. So we decided to remove the hood and all and use the radiator from the 96 Tacoma with its electric fan. I welded some 1x3 tube steel to the bottom of the radiator. The plastic end tanks got a little soft but theyre fine.

I've used old stripped Zamboni's as modified dump trucks and even a car crusher.......
There is a pic somewhere of a Z vs. 2nd gen. Not pretty.
These pics give me hope for my welding ability.

[up2nuthingud]

[Wolfman1]

Lololololololololololololololololololol

[heymoej]

[INVISIBLEZ]

[kyles00z28]

[Occupational_Hazard]

I wonder how many pounds of boost you could pull like that lol

[goatdevil]

wow someone put a lot of time and care into those two mufflers....

[K-Mac]

Nice welding! :doublepuke:

[jdustu]

HAHAHA Yes! That has to be a joke, who would remove that to weld it? Plus he must have read about welding bolts in the spider gears.

It was a joke. I think it was on pirate4x4 originally.


It's bad enough to fab up something that looks like crap....it's another to take pictures of it for posterity:lol:

[orangejuiced86]

I love it!!

[pultry]

some of those just look... disgusting :doublepuke:

[toadzq8]

WOW! I sure feel better about my welding skills now. LOL

[patriotformula]

good lord... good stuff, but it actually almost made me sick looking at it.

[crossroads]

thats some perty horrid shit......but all in all I give em props for trying and applying themselves as appose to smokin crack and watching beavis and butt head re-runs in the moms basement

True but at some point you have to realize that you suck

[AznMuscle]

Win, Win, fucking Win. I have seen some of those...the air duct headers, turbo mufflers (the guys build is pretty cool...have too see the final product though), but wtf with the Samurai, and the square tubing for the turbo mani. Just...god damn. I need to show this thread to my fabricator friend.

Yeah that was actually a neat project. I wish I had the link for you, the turbos ended up under the rear seats I believe.

Yeah I actually like the skill involved in that one.


It would fool many on the street. The mufflers have piping INSIDE them so what's the difference in that setup and a rear mount?

You havnt tried that? ^^^ Works great during a launch so you wont red light. Be careful tho. you will launch so hard you will break parts

I'm a bit late to this (obviously) as yo ualready covered what I originally planned to say when I saw the pic.
His idea and execution was actually pretty clever. I followed that thread from day 1 as I was impressed with the creativity.

[dirtybird222]

Some good stuff in here. I remember looking at a website a while back where the guy compiled a bunch of pictures of lifted truck disasters. Trying to find it right now, there was one in particular that made me crack up....a guy used light truss (like from a rock concert) to help aid his lift...

[TempleU_WS6]

I dont get it. Whats wrong with these pictures?

HAHAHA Yes! That has to be a joke, who would remove that to weld it? Plus he must have read about welding bolts in the spider gears.

I have seen near worse...... like the guy with the GSXR that was running rough so he stoped at a gas station and poured two can's of NOS octane booster energy drink into the tank not realizing that the stuff that is in the fridge is different then the stuff on the additive shelf...... It ran worse then the thread became epic..... even made it on the testicular cancer survivor's board and they were making fun of him.

The guy refused to replace the plugs and fuel filter and said he would just add fresh fuel and ride it.....
